John Malveaux: 'I attended homegoing celebration service for Etta James at City of Refuge Church.'


[Etta James]

Today, January 28, 2012, I attended homegoing celebration service for Etta James at City of Refuge Church. I co-promoted a 1968 concert in Long Beach that included Etta. Reverend Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy after reading a letter of condolence from President Obama and the First Lady. Etta’s band ROOTS with two of her sons contributed music along with Stevie Wonder (multiple songs) and Christina Aguilera singing AT LAST http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywfEEcwsmrY&feature=related. Etta James never knew her father.
