NYT :
Ms. James was not easy to pigeonhole. She is most often referred to as a rhythm and blues singer, and that is how she made her name in the 1950s.
She was also comfortable, and convincing, singing pop standards.
She is in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame.

Etta James - My Funny Valentine

After being recorded by Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra and Miles Davis, the song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists.
