The husband and sons of terminally ill “At Last” and “Tell Mama” blues singer Etta James have reached a deal on managing her $1 million estate and medical care.
...
Her adult sons Donto and Sametto had challenged the decisions of their stepfather Artis Mills, who married the singer in 1969 and is the estate’s conservator

Hopefully the sons aren’t in the will and this attempt to pare down the funds available for her medical care won’t do them any good.
She will missed. Lord be with her
Greedy kids...the stepdad’s been married to her for 42 years. He’s no “johnny come lately.”
We used private duty round the clock nurses for my mom’s care because we wanted to keep her home, and yet we were not able to provide the level of care she needed. All that to say, it’s expensive!

Ping.
Ms. James is one of my favorite singers, and not only for her music:
“Etta James: I’m gonna whup Beyoncé’s ass
The soul legend has slammed Beyoncé Knowles for her rendition of At Last at Barack Obama’s inauguration ball
If the election of Barack Obama was to usher in a new age of respect, generosity and cooperation, someone may want to pass on the memo to Etta James. The soul legend has ripped into Beyoncé, threatening to “whup [the singer’s] ass” for her inauguration ball rendition of At Last.
Beyoncé performed the song for Barack and Michelle Obama’s first dance, which took place at the ball on 20 January.
“You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears?” James asked from the stage of Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. “Wait a minute, he ain’t my president. He might be yours; he ain’t my president. But I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song — she’s going to get her ass whupped.””

did she not like the rendition ,the jugg-eared marxist , or both?
IMHO if they wanted to spend the whole amount on her care that is what should’ve been done.Kids it is not your money and after seeing what you have wanted none of it should ever be yours.
Both.
Sure will miss Eta when she passes. So terribly sad what money can do to family.
The real deal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goz07feA54Y
She’s not dead !
I like her even more now.
It’s her money. Let it be used for her care.
Donto and Sametto - really?
.
Sad.
One of my all time favorite songs...’At Last’.
