Perhaps the finest soul singer of the rock era, Etta James is one of the great women of American music. Rage to Survive is a funky, ribald tale told with unparalleled sass. Without a trace of self-pity, she describes her chaotic world of early R&B, depicts legends like Sam Cooke and Little Richard, details her dependency on drugs and bad men, and unsparingly recounts the golden age of soul, when her “Tell Mama” topped the charts.
