Singing from the heart is one of the main ingredients missing from today's Music Industry Formula; Etta James can be the teacher if you're willing to learn. Thank you for your wonderful Gifts Miss Hawkins; we miss you, Rest In Paradise. Sample a few of her Treats here: At last , Tell Mama , All I could do is cry , Sunday kind of love , I just wanna make love to you and I'd rather go blind
