Acapulco Nights 1/25/14, Tribute to Etta James

This week we pay tribute to the late Etta James in recognition of what would have been her 76th birthday (she passed away only 2 years and 5 days ago). The American singer was one of the pioneers of soul. In the 70s her style turned towards funk, and her work with Allen Toussaint brought about a wealth of fantastic material. She had an unmistakable voice and a catalogue that spans music to celebrate love, seep into sorrow, get down on the dance floor, turn up the heat, or just lay back and relax. Studebaker Hawk plays his favorites from James' discography.
