Etta James: My Funny Valentine | The Sky Is Crying
By Etta James
Haiti Chery
The song, My Funny Valentine, brings to my mind, not a lover but, rather, a beloved child, a close animal friend, a favorite tree, or a stream that makes me smile with my heart. It is a song that never fails to make me happy to be human, alive, and on Earth, right now. And this rendition by Etta makes me glad to have shared this place with her.
Hoochie Coochie Gal
And yes, Etta could own a 12-bar blues, like Oochie Coochie Gal, or The Sky Is Crying, as well as she could stretch the phrases of a jazz ballad. Thank you, Etta. You are missed.
