ETTA JAMES THE CHESS BOX MCA Like Aretha Franklin (arguably her only peer with as much natural ability in the R&B vocal field), Etta James is such a phenomenally gifted interpreter, she can sing practically anything and inject it with soul, passion, and an intensity that would not have been evident ...

October 1998 :: Music A-C :: Shemekia Copeland (Sam Thorpe)
... to Shemekia Copeland sing her powerful, no-nonsense brand of blues, your knee-jerk reaction might be to spout Aretha Franklin, Koko Taylor, or Etta James comparisons.

"LA Song" soul-rocker Beth Hart took a tumble a few years ago; she's now resurfaced with a remarkably powerful new CD, Leave The Light On. Steve Stav takes turns on the couch with the singer-songwriter in a revealing -- and therapeutic -- interview.
BETH HART by Steve Stav L.A.-born-and-bred Beth Hart is an accomplished singer/songwriter with one of the most amazing voices on the airwaves today. Thirty-something Hart -- whose "L.A.
