http://www.euronews.net/ The American singer, Etta James, has died from complications of leukaemia at the age of 73.
A pioneer of 1950s rhythm-and-blues and rock music, the triple Grammy Award winner was perhaps best known for her show-stopping hit "At Last" and "I'd rather go blind."
"Etta James is simply one of the best singers I've ever heard," singer-guitarist Bonnie Raitt wrote in Rolling Stone magazine. "... Etta is earthy and gritty, ribald and out-there in a way that few performers have the guts to be."

Rather go blind is one of the greatest sad songs ever made..
I remember this song sung by "Chicken Shack" in 1968
