# Etta James

Etta James, nascida Jamesetta Hawkins, (Los Angeles, 25 de janeiro de 1938 — Riverside, 20 de janeiro de 2012) foi uma cantora norte-americana de blues, R&B, jazz e música gospel, vulgarmente apelidada de Miss Peaches.
Ficou na 22ª posição entre os maiores cantores de todos os tempos, pela revista Rolling Stone, sendo a 3ª mulher mais bem colocada, ficando atrás apenas de Tina Turner (17ª) e de Aretha Franklin (1ª).

## Antes da fama

Etta James nasceu na Califórnia, filha de Dorothy Hawkins, uma afro-americana, mãe solo, de 16 anos. Filha de pai branco, Etta procurou saber quem era seu progenitor, desconhecido até então, e que sua mãe diz ser Minnesota Fats, do qual ela recebia uma pensão na condição de manter segredo sobre sua paternidade.
Ela teve o seu primeiro contacto com a música aos 5 anos de idade, tendo aulas com James Earle Hines, director musical da escola Echoes of Eden da Igreja Batista de St. Paul, em Los Angeles.
Sua família mudou-se para São Francisco, Califórnia, em 1950, e, em 1952, Etta e mais duas amigas formaram um trio doo-wop Creolettes, o qual viria a chamar a atenção de Johnny Otis. Otis inverteu as sílabas do seu nome para lhe dar uma melhor sonoridade assim surgindo o seu nome artístico. A partir daí Otis investiu na garota começando a gravar os seus primeiros temas.

## Começo da fama e carreira

Sua primeira gravação, e seu primeiro êxito R&B, foi de sua própria autoria, "The Wallflower (Dance with Me, Henry)", uma música-resposta para a música de Hank Ballard, "Work with Me, Annie". Em 1954, Etta gravou juntamente com a banda de Otis e com Richard Berry, o qual cantava a segunda voz. A canção, que não estava totalmente boa, foi re-escrita por Georgia Gibbs, ganhando o título de "Dance with Me, Henry". Também gravou momentaneamente com a banda intitulada Etta James & the Peaches, com diversos hits, sendo contratada mais tarde pela Chess Records, em 1960.
Saiu em turnê com Johnny "Guitar" Watson juntamente com Otis nos anos '50 e foi referida por Watson como a penúltima influência em seu estilo.
Ela lançou vários duetos com Harvey Fuqua (dos The Moonglows), dos quais surgiu o seu maior sucesso já gravado, a belíssima e clássica "At Last". A canção, que apareceu juntamente com outros êxitos como "All I Could Do Was Cry" e "Trust in Me", foi incluída no seu álbum de estreia, "At Last!".
Etta James teve um sério problema de drogas e romances mal sucedidos, que interferiram em sua carreira. Posteriormente ela teve problemas com a obesidade (chegando a ter quase 200 kg), que levaram-na a fazer uma cirurgia gástrica em 2003, fazendo-a perder quase 100 kg. Em 2003 Etta James recebeu uma estrela na Calçada da Fama de Hollywood. Etta fez tours pela América junto com seus dois filhos, Donto e Sametto. Em 2011, com uma participação não-creditada (porém autorizada), cantou com o rapper Flo Rida, na música Good Feeling. Cinco dias antes de fazer 74 anos, no dia 20 de Janeiro de 2012, ela sucumbiu à leucemia e a outras doenças, no Riverside Community Hospital, na cidade de Riverside, na Califórnia. Ela foi diagnosticada com a doença em janeiro de 2011. Foi sepultada no Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, Califórnia no Estados Unidos.
