SHOWTIME SAYS…
In a brief statement issued earlier today, Beyonce honored the memory of the woman she played in the movie Cadillac Records. Bey had nothing but kind words to say about Etta James.
”This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime. Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed.”
I personally think it would be really dope if Bey would sing Etta’s classic song “At Last” at the funeral.
