I’m taking a bit of detour on my tributes to late lead guitar players with the passing last week of Etta James. Etta James was a Blues and R&B singer who had an incredible singing voice and contributed so much during her career.
I’ve attached a YouTube video of Etta James singing “You Can Leave Your Hat On”. “You Can Leave Your Hat On” was of course made famous by Joe Cocker, but I think Etta James did a famously job of singing this song too! Play this song at a loud volume to get the full effect of the power of Etta’s voice when your listening! Thanks Etta James for the wealth of songs you recorded and performed over the years! Etta was a true Blues and R&B treasure! Enjoy
