Quick Links
American blues, soul, rhythm, and blues (R&B), rock and roll, gospel and jazz singer, Etta James, has an estimated net worth of $16 million.
Few R&B singers have endured tragic travails on the monumental level that Etta James had and remained on earth to talk about it. The lady's no shrinking violet. Her autobiography, Rage to Survive, describes her past (including numerous drug addictions) in sordid detail. But her personal problems have seldom affected her singing. James has hung in there from the age of R&B and doo-wop in the mid-'50s through soul's late-'60s heyday and right up into the '90s and 2000s. Born Jamesetta Hawkins on January 25, 1938, in Los Angeles.
