FOOTBALL
I LOE THE SUPER BOWL.
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.

Add this poet to MyPoetList when your hero falls from grace
all fairy tales r uncovered
myths exposed and pain magnified
the greatest pain discovered
u taught me 2 be strong
but im confused 2 c u so weak
u said never 2 give up
and it hurts 2 c u welcome defeat
when ure hero falls so do the stars
and so does the perception of tomorrow
without my hero there is only
me alone 2 deal with my sorrow
your heart ceases 2 work
and your soul is not happy at all
what r u expected 2 do
when ure only hero falls
