    Greatest voice of all time. No one else comes close. Effortless ability. Smooth to Guttural. High to Low. Fast to Slow. Loud to Hushed. Raspy to Mellow. She convinces me that she’s singing to only me like no other singer ever has. She only had to open her mouth and the restless angel inside her did the rest.Thank you Etta for sharing yourself with the world! Nothing brings a smile to my face like Etta James.
