@plserenity0507: Day 10 of Black History Month and today's "Song of the Day" is "Stormy Weather" by Etta James. "Few female R&B stars enjoyed the kind of consistent acclaim Etta James received throughout a career that spanned six decades; the celebrated producer Jerry Wexler once called her "the greatest of all modern blues singers," and she recorded a number of enduring hits, including "At Last," "Tell Mama," "I'd Rather Go Blind," and "All I Could Do Was Cry." At the same time, despite possessing one of the most powerful voices in music, James only belatedly gained the attention of the mainstream audience, appearing rarely on the pop charts despite scoring 30 R&B hits, and she lived a rough-and-tumble life that could have inspired a dozen soap operas. . ." - Mark Deming, Rovi (Spotify) Etta James is one of my top favorite blues singers, right up there with Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. I think the first time I really listened to her was in middle school and I just loved hearing her voice because it carried so much soul behind it when she sang. It wasn't until I was older and learned more about her that I found out that the soul in her voice came from the many different struggles she had in her life. Despite those struggles she made sure her music and her voice were heard. This song can be found on my "Song of the Day" and "Black History Month" playlists on my Linktree.
