Legendary singer, Etta James, has died of complications from leukemia. Her husband and sons were with her as she passed away in Riverside, California. She would have been 74 next Wednesday.

Possibly best known for her rendition of [At Last], The Matriarch of Rhythm and Blues’ stellar career spanned almost 60 years and multiple genres of music including soul, gospel, jazz, blues and, rock and roll. Later in life, along with a 2010 diagnosis of leukemia, she also suffered from dementia and hepatitis C.

Etta’s appeal also crossed generations. In 2011, rapper Flo Rida’s [Good Feeling] contained a sampling of Etta’s [Something's Got A Hold On Me].

Rest in peace, Miss Peaches.

Not that I expect extravagant things from him!

Flo Rida released the piece of crap (above) approximately two weeks ago. Never saw it till today. But I wish I had not seen it, not kidding!

[Good Feeling] rocks!

It is one of his best tunes and this is what he puts out for it!

I am so angry. F this, I’m done!

Yea, because it is easily one of the catchiest new tunes out right now. [Hangover] is a strong and very radio-friendly track! It’s got HIT spelt all over it!

Oh, and FYI, Flo Rida is featured on the song!

Lately, he’s on everything.

I’m sort of raping the repeat button!

I have already shared with y’all Flo Rida’s new fab single [Good Feeling] produced by Dr. Luke and Avicii. Well, listen to the Avicii Remix above!

It’s out of this world!!!

The original version is tough to beat, but this may be a lil’ better!

Thoughts?

Yea, and that’s coming from a non-fan! But with his latest single [Good Feeling], I may just have to be one. It’s produced by Dr. Luke and Avicii and it is insanely good!! It also samples Etta James’ [Something's Got A Hold On Me].

I’ve got a good feeling that it’s gonna be a smash hit!

Hehe!

Thoughts y’all?

…even though I’m sick of hearing it now!

Ha, the Black Eyed Peas’  song [I Gotta Feeling] became the best-selling
track  in digital history this week. It’s sold over  5 million  digital copies!

Yea, it surpassed [Low] by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain.

Any thoughts?

Teairra Mari was photographed with her dog Cherry Cola on the set of her newest music video.  Her 2nd single’s called “Cause A Scene” and features Flo Rida.  We dig this track! The attitude thing works for her!

Plus, she looks lovely!

We really shouldn’t like his music, but we can’t help it.

His track  ”Sugar” is so addicting and samples another classic.
