From People:

Etta James, the powerful blues voice behind the chart-topping 1961 evergreen “At Last,” has died after a lengthy struggle with leukemia. She was 73.

Her longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon, first confirmed the news to CNN. “This is a tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans around the world,” De Leon said. “She was a true original who could sing it all – her music defied category. I worked with Etta for over 30 years. She was my friend and I will miss her always.”

Ugh. So sad. We lose yet another musical icon that can just never be replaced.

  • & to help perpetuate the feelings of sadness, I’m sure we get to look forward to Beyonce’s horrible portrayal of her in the Lifetime biopic that is sure to come.
