You can’t fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that’s got nothing to do with it. It’s how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them. 

Jamesetta Hawkins aka Etta James (January 25, 1938 – January 20, 2012)

One of my all time favourites. So very sad.
