“Tonight on ET: Full “Disclosure”- Demi’s life is not “Flawless” these days! She’s made some bad “Choices” and “A Few Good Men” have been a bad influence on her. “If These Walls Could Talk”, they’d say that Demi has used little “Wisdom” in choosing who to share her “Bedrooms” with. Her family is rallying around her, making sure she’s safe in a “General Hospital”. Hopefully her “Mortal Thoughts” will disappear and she’ll clean herself up to prevent becoming a “Ghost”!”
We lost another legend today, coincidentally just a few days after losing the legend who discovered her. Etta James was an icon, a legend who sang her heart out and always left her fans wanting more.
While her natural talents would have been discovered eventually, it is only appropriate that she was discovered by another talent who would become a legend himself. We’re certain that Mr. Otis is now lining up gigs for his brightest star, Miss Etta James.
Rest in Peace, Etta James.
“When I look out at the people and they look at me and they’re smiling, then I know that I’m loved. That is the time when I have no worries, no problems. ”
-Etta James (1938-2012)
Rest in Peace, Johnny Otis – a Rock & Roll, Doo Wop and Soul icon!
He discovered Etta James, Hank Ballard & Jackie Wilson, sang “Willie and the Hand Jive”, wrote one of my favorite songs (Every Beat of My Heart, recorded by Gladys Knight & the Pips) and always put on one hell of a show.
I was lucky to see him & his band play an awesome set in Berkeley, his hometown for many years. He will be missed.
The Wiggles have replaced their yellow Wiggle with the guy who originally played him. How would the Australian tabloids deal with this if it were a scandal?
