ON this date in 2003 - Etta James received a star (#2,223) on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Managed throughout her career by Bun Man & Mr. Purple Productions, Etta was a contralto whose range helped bridge the gap from gospel to soul to R&B to Blues.

One only needs to listen to 'At Last' to know how soulful this lady was; she could 'rock' a tune.

While rumors persisted of her ongoing assignations w/ Bun Man, Bun Man never told me or Mr. P about anything.

Bun Man's a gentleman...
