Love the music, the deep heart felt soul in their music, superbly ENJOY Etta, her love hurt and pain shows throughout her music. Think the owner of Cadalliac records was deeply in love with Etta, so sad she could not get past her pain and carry on her fabulous career. Enjoyed the singer's and watch the movie weekly.
