Her voice makes jelly of my innards. Etta James dead at 73. Two of my favorites:
"I'd Rather Go Blind"
"The Wallflower (Roll with Me, Henry)"

Indeed as Lefty so eloquently said "an impressive level" is where you have taken the reader with such deceptively simple, yet deeply profound, prose when you so excellently articulate what we are all feeling - "her voice makes jelly of my innards" - words that speak volumes more than all the books and articles I have ever read on Etta. Amen!
That's really thinking at an impressive level
