Soul-singing legend Etta James passed away, CNN reported today.

The singer - who was the voice behind songs like "At Last" and "Something's Got A Hold On Me," was 73 years old.

James was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010 and also suffered from dementia and hepatitis C. She died at a hospital in Riverside, California.

"Etta James is unmanageable, and I'm the closest thing she's ever had to a manager," friend and manager Lupe De Leon said, noting the quote was in admiration.

The songwriter first hit the charts in 1955 as a teenager with the song "The Wallflower (Roll With Me, Henry). She signed to Chess Records in 1960, before fading in the middle of the decade. The singer reemerged in 1967 after struggles with addicition with what CNN called "a more hard-edged, soulful sound."
