Wikipedia sez:

Jamesetta Hawkins was born on January 25, 1938, in Los Angeles, California, to Dorothy Hawkins, an African-American girl who was only 14 at the time. Her father has never been identified, but was rumored to be Caucasian.^<6> James speculated that her father was the pool player, Rudolf "Minnesota Fats" Wanderone, and met him briefly in 1987.^<7> Due to her mother being often absent from their Watts apartment, conducting relationships with various men, James lived with a series of foster parents, most notably "Sarge" and "Mama" Lu. James referred to her mother as "the Mystery Lady".^<6>

Etta James by Burns!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mykalburns/

Etta James at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, California. 13 August 2008.

When I met her in 2001, Etta James was just about the sweetest woman you'd ever hope to meet. She was exactly what you would want your grandmother to be.

Now, seven years later at age 70, I have to assume she's still just that sweet. BUT...when the Queen of the Blues starts singing those dirty blues numbers, things turn nazzty. That sweet, grandmotherly woman is filthy! And, I like it.
