Quotes by Etta James
I am so happy that I am alive and can walk.
Etta James
It feels so good to be happy.

They said that Etta James is still vulgar. I said, Oh, how dare them say I’m still vulgar. I’m vulgar because I dance in the chair. What would they want me to do? Want me to just be still or something like that? I’ve got to do something.
Etta James
Jazz took too much discipline. You have to come in at the right place, which is different than me singing the blues, where I can sing, ‘Oh, baby,’ if there’s a pause in the melody. With jazz, you better leave that space open, or put in something real cool.
Etta James
Long as I was riding in a big Cadillac and dressed nice and had plenty of food, that’s all I cared about.
Etta James
