“The young Etta James lived in South Central Los Angeles, an urban neighborhood with a then-thriving nightlife and jazz scene but not much to offer young children. One of the few bright spots in her life was St. Paul Baptist Church…and its talented choirmaster, James Earle Hines, a giant figure in the world of gospel music…he recognized her vocal talent and molded her voice from the time she was five” (Buzzy Jackson, A Bad Woman Feeling Good, 2005).
