Batman (Ben Affleck) has ... his mom's name? More on that later because this movie is obsessed with the name Martha.
Of course we all saw Beyonceâs âroleâ in the movie Cadillac Records but unfortunately that role was not the factual life of Etta James. For those of you whoâve never read the the autobiography of Etta James, Rage To Survive, I strongly encourage you to check out this book.
Etta James birth name was Jamesetta Hawkins.. Her first name was reversed to Etta James to be her stage name. Rick James birth name was James Johnson.. So the answer is â¦no, Rick James is not Etta James son. Additionally, Etta was born in 1938 while Rick was born in 1948. Etta was 10 years old when Rick was born to his real mother.
