    Looks like bad news comes in three's. It's been a sad week for soul and funk music with the passing of Jimmy Castor, Johnny Otis, and now, Etta James.

    The Grammy Hall of Famer died this morning at the age of 73. She will be revered always for her deeply honest vocal style, inspiring so many after her.
