Food for Thought Friday: Etta James

This is the first post for the new Friday Special: Food for Thought Fridays!

Unfortunately, Etta James died today. For those of you who don't know Etta James, she was an R&B singer. She had a dynamite voice and is one of my personal favorites. You probably know her most famous song "At Last".

Rest in Peace, Etta James. We'll miss you.
