I love that song.

Me too. Everyone has a "moment" for it, seems like.

A true classic.

Rest in peace, sweet lady.

Wow, this is indeed such sad news. She was an amazing and very talented woman that I will miss.

[Peregrinator]

Another wonderful voice lost. The chorus of angels has just gotten an order of magnitude sweeter and more hip.

 

[Lorilei]

Awwww.


So, did anyone have her in the dead pool?

 

[RoryN]

Awwww.


So, did anyone have her in the dead pool?

Yup. She was the #1 underhanded pitch out there.

 

[HB1965]

An incredible voice. At least we still have her recordings

 

[Very_Bad_Man]

Shaddup fuckers. None of ya knew her till Beyonce covered it and Obama got elected.

Nope I've known about her for decades.

That's obviously when you discovered her.

She's been an icon for decades, and I weep at your ignorance re: American music.

I hadn't realized Beyonce had covered it til I saw it off to the side of that YouTube.


Etta had one of the great voices.

 

[KRCummings]

Man, I really hate that fucking song. She was talented though, can't take that away from her. Awesome voice.
