Thurber, James
Dec. 8, 1894 to Nov. 2, 1961 James Thurber, author, humorist and New York cartoonist, will be best remember for his hilarious tales, his indescribable dogs and his unforgettable character, Walter Mitty.His tales were mingles with the exploits of unicorns, enraged wives, stupid athletes and excitable relatives. His drawings of dogs, which he produced with abundance on the backs of envelopes, in telephone books and on tablecloths, had a quality that seemed to link them with no other beast on Earth.E.B. White, a New Yorker colleague of Mr. Thurber, wrote of him:“Most writers would be glad to settle for any one of ten of Thurber’s accomplishments. He has written the funniest memoirs, fables, reports, satires, fantasies, complaints, fairy tales and sketches of the last 20 years, has gone into the drama and the cinema, and on top of that has littered the world with thousands of drawings”

James, Etta
Updated: Jan. 20, 2012Etta James, whose powerful, versatile and emotionally direct voice could enliven the raunchiest blues as well as the subtlest love songs, most indelibly in her signature hit, At Last,died on Jan. 20, 2012.Her manager, Lupe De Leon, said that the cause was complications of leukemia.Ms. James was not easy to pigeonhole. She was most often referred to as a rhythm and blues singer, and that is how she made her name in the 1950s with records like Good Rockin Daddy. She is in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame.She was also comfortable, and convincing, singing pop standards, as she did in 1961 with At Last, which was written in 1941 and originally recorded by Glenn Millers orchestra. Among her four Grammy Awards (including a lifetime-achievement honor in 2003) was one for best jazz vocal performance, which she won in 1995 for the album Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday.Regardless of how she was categorized, she was admired. Expressing a common sentiment, Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote in 1990 that she had one of the great voices in American popular music, with a huge range, a multiplicity of tones and vast reserves of volume.For all her accomplishments, Ms. James had an up-and-down career, partly because of changing audience tastes but largely because of drug problems. She developed a heroin habit in the 1960s; after she overcame it in the 1970s, she began using cocaine. She candidly described her struggles with addiction and her many trips to rehab in her autobiography, Rage to Survive, written with David Ritz.Etta James was born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles on Jan. 25, 1938. Her mother, Dorothy Hawkins, was 14 at the time; her father was long gone, and Ms. James never knew for sure who he was, although she recalled her mother telling her that he was the celebrated pool player Rudolf Wanderone, better known as Minnesota Fats. She was reared by foster parents and moved to San Francisco with her mother when she was 12.She began singing at the St. Paul Baptist Church in Los Angeles at the age of 5 and turned to secular music as a teenager, forming a vocal group with two friends. She was 15 when she made her first record, Roll With Me Henry,which set her own lyrics to the tune of Hank Ballard and the Midnighters hit Work With Me Annie. When some disc jockeys complained that the title was too suggestive, the name was changed to The Wallflower, although the record itself was not.Read the Full Obituary

Dickey, James
James Dickey, perhaps best known for his rugged novel Deliverance, was one of the nations most distinguished modern poets, as well as a critic, lecturer and teacher. Once described as a bare-chested bard, Mr. Dickey was a prolific poet whose work was admired for its intense clarity, its joyous imagination and its courageous tenderness. His poems often sang the praises of fighter pilots, football players and backwoods Southerners, but, as one critic put it, they were also deceptively simple metaphysical poems that search the lakes and trees and workday fragments of his experience for a clue to the meaning of existence. — Albin Krebs
