Description: "Etta James encompasses all the rich attributes I seek when putting my faith into the artistry of a musician. She was a sincere, ferociously talented lady, with her foundation honed securely within roots music. Blessed with the benefit of a candid persona and strong stage presence, she maintained a proletarian appeal that transcended her humble origins. I would suggest it is not the fragmented facts or challenging narrative of Etta James' life that are paramount, but her unsurpassed musical catalogue. Etta's greatest triumph was simply the purity of her music and her musical legacy will always reign supreme- she was no doubt a challenging musical icon & one of the greatest modern singers." Stephanie Lynne.
Sample chapter on the evolution of Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings from 'The Rock Orators' included in Kindle edition, titled 'Hideaway: The Lost Rhythm Kings Sessions'.
