Etta James (born Jamesetta Hawkins; January 25, 1938 – January 20, 2012) was an American singer whose style spanned a variety of music genres including blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul, gospel and jazz.

AVAILABLE NOW: Deliver Us From Eva CD [Soundtrack] ONLY: $19.99 To order, click “Add To Cart” below  Nothing less would befit LL Cool J's suave lady's man character in Deliver Us from Eva than a soundtrack slick with smooth-as-silk R&B and hip-hop. LL himself ups the urbanity quotient with a duet with up-and-comer Amerie, as does the queen of modern hip-hop, Mary J. Blige , whose "Star for Life" inspires with regal messages of self-empowerment. Usher's typically sultry castanet-flavored cha-cha raises the temperature and tempo of the disc, but it's the new artists showcased on Eva that steal the show: Yoli, mixing her soulful voice with rootsy guitar riffs, and the crooning soul and R&B ballads of Vikter Duplaix, Terry Dexter, and Calvin Richardson. No respectable glimpse into these genres would neglect timeless contributions from Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, but their inclusion is simply the icing on the cake for this high-qualit...
