still i think i’m doing fine.
Etta James, the legendary Blues and Gospel singer who brought us timeless hits like “At Last” and “All I Could Do Was Cry,” died today at the age of 73. Since beginning her recording career in the mid-Fifties with Modern Records, she became one of the most influential singers of all time, constantly reinventing herself and covering styles across all genres. She is revered as one of the pioneers who helped to bridge the gap between R&B and rock & roll, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
James, who struggled with drug addiction soon after her career began to flourish, suffered from bad health for several years before being diagnosed with leukemia in early 2011.
She’ll be missed. RIP, Etta.

=words i hate.
when i post a song lyric and an old person destroys the sentiment by posting a goofy comment. who doesn’t know simon and garfunkel?!
you know when you’re in the shower and you’re letting the water run through you’re hair and you smooth it down with your hands and it feels so soft
that’s what i bet a seal feels like.
