Obama Snubbed Etta James
In my opinion Etta James is one of the greatest blues artist of all time but, let’s see what this post has to say. This post claims that while she did approve Obama to use her song she was not happy with the way Beyonce sang her song. The post was great but out of proportion because of the word they used in the title which is the word “snubbed”.
Women In Jazz
This article focuses on Nina Simone, Mary Lou Williams, and Billie Holliday. The article backs up how these women of jazz were composers, activist, and innovators. This article includes videos of their work that also backs up why these three women are the women of jazz. The way that the article goes in depth about the legacy that they left could have been more but, dos still get the point across.
