  1. I have been a Etta James fan for over 20 years I loved her concerts and I am deeply sorry for her family. Her concerts were very multiracial and she brought many different people together. As a white woman I feel it is very insulting to have Rev. Al Sharpton eulogize at Etta James funeral, he is a polarizing figure and in my opinion a racist. Just my opinion. R.I.P.
