R.I.P. Ms. James

Soul and R&B legend Etta James has died at age 73.

The “At Last” singer had been battling terminal leukemia and suffering from dementia and Hepatitis C as well.

Among those in the music world mourning the passing of James today was Beyoncé, who actually played the singer in the 2008 movie Cadillac Records.

“This is a huge loss,” she said. “Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed.”
