  1. The House of Dereon and really the house of Rhythm and Blues. In other words, i hope you are unable to find peace Otis and Etta.

    You left too many children behind including your beloved BEYONCE!

    1. I know this is an old post,but are you referring to Beyonce and Tina being his children I'm trying to put this puzzle together and that's what I think also.

      Tina was born in 1954 shortly after meeting Otis. Etta was in the psychiatric hospital for 17 months in 73-74.That is Beyonce's rumored true birth year.I was surprised by your post.

      It had just registered in my head when I read Etta's bio and I found your post.They all look way too much alike to not be related.

  2. What is the odd both of them passing away not too far apart? I find this very odd. I swear I seen Beyonce rocking a similar dress as Etta James. Now, I see wear Beyonce gets the blank stare from.

  6. I have a funny feeling that Etta and Otis died in the same house. They were secret lovers for a long time and had children together. The kids were sent to be raised by someone else.

  7. Its not uncommon for long-term lovers to pass at the same time. I think it means they were still connected. Sad, yet beautiful to go home at the same time as your love.
