Few R&B singers have endured tragical travails on the massive storey that Etta James has and remain on earth to talk or so it. The lady's no shrinkage violet; her autobiography, Rage to Survive, describes her past (including legion do drugs addictions) in sordid item.
Only her personal problems have rarely moved her tattle. James has hung in there from the eld of R&B and doo wop in the mid-'50s through soul's late-'60s prime and right up into the '90s and 2000s (where her 1994 disc Mystery story Lady paid loving jazz-based tribute to i of her idols, Billie Holiday). Etta James' voice has deepened o'er the years, coarsened more than than a little, simply still conveys noteworthy passion and pain.
Jamesetta Hawkins was a baby gospel singing prodigy, telling in her Los Angeles Baptist church choir (and over the wireless) when she was only five days old under the care of Professor James Earle Hines. She affected to San Francisco in 1950, shortly teaming with deuce other girls to form a vocalizing radical. When she was 14, bandleader Johnny Otis gave the trio an audition. He in particular dug their answer birdsong to Hank Ballard & the Midnighters' "Work With Me Annie."
Against her mother's wishes, the young vocaliser embarked for L.A. to record "Roll With Me Henry" with the Otis ring and vocaliser Richard Berry in 1954 for Modern Records. Otis upside-down her number one name to devise her stage handle and dubbed her vocal radical the Peaches (besides Etta's sobriquet). "Roll With Me Henry," renamed "The Wallflower" when some radiocommunication programmers objected to the original title's connotations, topped the R&B charts in 1955.
The Peaches dropped from the tree short thenceforth, but Etta James kept on vocalizing for Modern end-to-end lots of the tenner (ofttimes under the supervising of saxophonist Maxwell Davis). "Good Rockin' Daddy" besides did rather well for her afterwards in 1955, simply worth follow-ups such as "Cleaning woman" and "Bad Lover" (the latter a fiery cradle cut in New Orleans with Lee Allen on adolphe Sax) failed to catch on.
James II landed at Chicago's Chess Records in 1960, signing with their Argo subsidiary. Immediately, her transcription calling kicked into heights appurtenance; non only if did a mate of duets with her then-boyfriend (Moonglows lead singer Harvey Fuqua) chart, her have sides (outset with the tortured lay "All I Could Do Was Cry") chased each other up the R&B lists as comfortably. Leonard Chess viewed James as a classy lay isaac Bashevis Singer with pop crossover potential drop, financial support her with lush violin orchestrations for 1961's pleasant-tasting "At Last" and "Trust in Me." But James' rougher slope wasn't forsaken -- the gospel-charged "Something's Got a Hold on Me" in 1962, a kinetic 1963 unrecorded LP (Etta James Rocks the House) cut at Nashville's New Era Club, and a blues-soaked 1966 pas de deux with childhood sidekick Sugar Pie De Santo, "In the Basement," ensured that.
Although Chess hosted its have killer house band, James traveled to Rick Hall's Fame studios in Muscle Shoals in 1967 and emerged with one of her all-time classics. "State Mama" was a searing slice of eudaimonia Southern soul that contrasted markedly with some other standout from the same roger Huntington Sessions, the spine-chilling ballad "I'd Rather Go Blind." Despite the death of Leonard Chess, Etta James remained at the label into 1975, experimenting toward the end with a more than rock-based advance.
Thither were some mighty lean days, both personally and professionally, for Miss Peaches. But she got back on track recording-wise in 1988 with a set for Island, Seven-spot Year Itch, that reaffirmed her Southern soul supremacy. Her following albums have been a varied lot -- 1990's Relieved to My Guns was contemporaneous in the extreme; 1992's Jerry Wexler-produced The Right Time, for Elektra, was glibly soulful, and her almost other '90s outings birth explored jazz directions. In 1998, she as well issued a vacation record album, Etta James Christmas. She was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001, and in 2003 received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. That year also sawing machine the release of her Let's Roll album, followed in 2004 by a CD of raw blues performances, Blues to the Bone, both on RCA Records. James then shifted gears and released an album of pop standards, All the Way, on RCA in 2006.
In concert, Etta James is a impudent, no-holds-barred performer whose suggestive stage antics sometimes edge on the repugnant. She's paid her dues many times over as an R&B and soul initiate; long may she bear on to shock the naive.

Jolie-Pitt Foundation donates $1 million to Iraqi children affected by war
LOS ANGELES - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's love for children is by no means limited to their own.
The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict says the couple has donated $1 million to help children affected by the war in Iraq.
The organization will distribute the donation, made through the couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation, to four organizations working on behalf of children who have lost parents, homes and schools in Iraq.
Children in the United States who have lost parents in the conflict will also benefit.
"These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal," Jolie says in a written statement from Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which she co-chairs.
Pitt adds in the statement: "We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations."
The money will be divided between the Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program, which provides military children with counselling and educational support; Women for Women International, which will provide books, school supplies and other basic necessities to Iraqi women and children; the International Rescue Committee, which will repair three schools and offer classes for more than 2,500 students; and NineMillion.org, which will give school uniforms and learning materials to more than 2,000 displaced Iraqi kids.
Last year, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave more than $300,000 to support the International Rescue Committee's relief program for Darfur refugees.
Jolie, who's expecting twins, has said the babies are due in August. She and Pitt have four children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.

Brooke Shields - Shields Defends Celebrity Kids Looking For Fame
Actress BROOKE SHIELDS has vowed to support her kids if they choose to pursue a career in the spotlight - because she would be a hypocrite to stand in their way.
Shields has two daughters - Rowan Frances, five, and Grier Hammond, two - with her TV-writer husband Chris Henchy.
And she admits she won't deny her children their dreams of superstardom, since her own career as a model began as an infant - but insists they must make time for their studies.
She says, "I'm going to try to protect them. I also can't be such a hypocrite. Both their parents are in the entertainment industry, so I can't completely deny them... If they want to do it, I can't deny them. They just have to have an education."
Shields was the youngest fashion model to appear on the cover of fashion magazine Vogue at the age of 14 in 1980. Later that year, she rocked the media with controversy over her infamous sexually-charged print and TV ads for Calvin Klein jeans.
