Early Life • She lived with her mother but her father was unknown • She moved to Los Angeles to record “The Wallflower” • She had drug addictions before she started recording music Interesting Facts • Wrote the lyrics to her song • Won over 30 awards • Jonny Otis changed her stage name to Etta James Why should Etta James be in the Black History Hall of Fame? I think Etta James should be in the Black History hall of Fame because she has been through a lot of struggles back in the days. She has done many things to succeed them. She lived her life without a mother. She had drug addictions. She also enjoyed her life
being a singer. Singing was her life. She got all the awards she wanted because what she did was good. She inspired man people like BeyoncĂŠ and Christina Aguilera.
