Death of Two Music Icon
« on: January 21, 2012, 11:50:50 AM »
The world lost two music icons yesterday.

Etta James, a blues icon, died yesterday at the age of 73, after a long bout with leukemia.  She was most famous for her song "At Last", which has regained popularity in the past few years.  She influenced music more than most will ever realize.

Johnny Otis also died yesterday at the age of 90.  He is best known for his song "Willie and the Hand Jive.  Though not as well known, his style of music had an impact on many genres today.

Rest in Peace, Etta and Johnny.
