Etta James was one of the great voices of our time and a huge inspiration to us at Blowback - from Beyonce's portrayal of her in "Cadillac Records" to her soulful contribution in "Godfathers and Sons."

We wanted to share two clips that feature her song "I'd Rather Go Blind." 

The first clip is from the documentary, "Godfathers and Sons."  In it, Marshall Chess shares the story of hearing of the death of his father, Leonard Chess and the impending end of Chess Records.

The second is from the feature film  "Cadillac Records."  In a breathtaking performance, Beyonce, plays Etta, recording this classic song.

RIP Etta your soul lives on.
