Hot Stuff: Etta & Otis

[Smiley and West]

		Smiley & West reflect on musical legends Etta James and Johnny Otis. Smiley: On the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, Etta James dedicated a song to me and I'll remember it for as long as I live. West: Brother Johnny was a white Greek brother full of soul and Black sensibilities.
		Watch a tribute to Etta James on Smiley's PBS TV show

More attention should have been given to Johnny Otis, whose shows were a gateway to black music and artists for thousands, perhaps millions, of young people of all colors. Otis also promoted the careers of many musicians who were ignored by the mainstream, and whose music was still relegated to race records.
