05 Jill Scott Rock Steady

[@pablady347]

I'm still loving this performance in 2024!!

[@Tammarrah100]

❤ me 2

[@tdub102]

i tried to find a recording of it by her but was unsuccessful. it would have probably been a hit

[@jeneeadams2423]

That part!

[@locofinchaviary]

I'm here for the music, but honestly, I'd give anything to have that beautiful human being as our president again❤❤❤

[@cates2613]

I so agree with you! I would give anything to have that lovely man back as our president. (And it makes me sad to see how he sort of restrains himself in this video. Like everyone else in the room, he clearly would like to be grooving a bit to this music. But can you imagine the hateful comments if he did?) We miss you, Mr. President.

[@edwardgarrett901]

Jill went from soft sweet voice and went right into powerhouse

[@debbiehampton3997]

❤z

[@tonyetadivine1774]

Oh I miss them soooo much. The White House had soul.. for 8yrs😍😍😍😍

[@natashanewton1444]

When I hear this song, my body starts moving involuntarily! Jill did Aretha proud!

[@shugajp]

Yaaaaaaaasssss!!! And Jill definitely funked it up!

[@Maurice-1014]

@@shugajp yes she did

[@johnwill8]

YES SHE DID!!! ✌️

[@aspirebooking6409]

I need about 5 more minutes of this! She did Aretha justice...and then some. Loved it!

[@jerrymiller5516]

Damn! Jill Scott really brings down the house! And it's kind of cool to see the President and First Lady grooving right along.

[@junkandcrapamen]

The drummer absolutely nailed it.

[@jnadle1]

It's Steve Ferrone!

[@jewelm.9953]

She graced The White House with more beauty and excellence than it's ever seen before.

[@k_perry]

I don’t EVER wanna hear anyone else cover this song. Ms. Jill Scott set the unreachable bar. PHENOMENAL

[@daisyhenry332]

Me either😊

[@DaveTonymusic]

I’ve equally good covers by virtually unknown singer!!! But this is a great cover

[@kenyanunley9884]

She did that

[@ocho611]

if it's not Aretha Franklin, it may as well be Jill Scott. God Damn.

[@kokomal2686]

This performance!!!! Jill Scott CRUSHED IT! backing vocals, band and horns bringing it as well. Multiple parts coming together to create a masterpiece!!

[@jgmiller804]

That band is Boss. Steve Ferrone is killin'

[@shugajp]

I danced to this repeatedly she did this Justice and let's give the drummer some!!!

[@sherlyfreire3053]

Idk what kind of ASMR video this is but god damn these tingles won't stop!! SHE DID THAT!!!

[@DCMae]

I love how the Prez closes his eyes, bows his head and takes it all in. He was really into this performance. And so was I.

[@Tammarrah100]

❤

[@JANEENHOLLIS]

I love this up tempo, Jill SANG THE SHIT OUTTA THIS HERE!!! ❤❤❤I could have NOT REMAINED SEATED!!

[@barbarawhitton7272]

Jill Scott is amazingly pretty 🌹

[@patrickmcdaniel8123]

Why she doesn't explore this sound more I will never understand. It's high energy for her AND the audience.

[@ylinares38]

This is just a wanna move your ass song & the best inaugural event i ever watched it all for once.. President & the very 1st Lady ever Michelle thank you, still love you💯🎼💜

[@johhwalker3]

The drummer was cooking soulfood on them drums!!!!!😮

[@MichaelSanchez-nv6dc]

Count yourself lucky if you’ve ever had the privilege of hearing Jill live. She’s a force of nature. Singer, actress and don’t underestimate.. poet. It’s rare that a band can be killin it and yet her *voice* is the band’s *feature* instrument. Can we also give some mad love for the BGV’s??? They were NOT playin!! Woooo!!!

[@fnk8833]

This has to be one of the funkiest grooves of any time.💯💯

[@Avb53]

Definitely a great version. Jill Scott ❤❤❤

[@deek2903]

i love this song she just nailed this song

[@staggerlee41]

If you don't get goosebumps listening to Jill channel her inner Aretha, if you don't want to start dancing to this funky song...you may not have a pulse. One of my favorite's from Aretha, Jill nailed it!

[@sophisticatedbadgurl]

Honey, They did that. Jill, Background singers and the band. Go head now.

[@PNWOlygurl66]

Jill was fire and so was that band! Wow! 🎇

[@brendalanier146]

[@franciseshun1367]

[@VeeJay157]

Jill Scott Did A Great Rendition of This Song. I have learned that if I had nothing good to say say nothing....

[@cg0682]

Jill with the I know I did the damn thing strut at 4:20 was priceless.

[@GreenviewStudioGallery]

Ha! The White House had never and will never be as Funky as it was when Obama was there. Jilly is a doll, I love her.

[@willgetbettereventually124]

Kamala will bring it.

[@stevenblackwell3899]

Jill is a sweetheart of a singer.

[@rired2005]

This is what 'soul' is all about.....

[@marlanawright1211]

[@tyedunn4944]

Lmfao yessssssss

[@simeonorive145]

I was born in Australia in the 70s to mixed race parents my Dad Basque my Mum Irish Scottish. I grew up watching Sesame St and asked my Mum why there are no black people where i lived, I was not aware of the white Australia policy. I watch this now and am amazed still how divided the USA is and how unlikely it could ever be united all to the benefit of the individuals that truly own the world. Divide and Concore. Having said that I have loved this track from the moment I first heard Aretha sing it at the time I was in my 20s I didnt know what funk was when I was a kid but i did when I heard this.

[@Ric419]

Basque and Irish/Scottish...in America we just call that white. Race is color here, your roots are culturally mixed, but just European.

[@sandialexander3843]

I love her version!!!

[@Drtist1]

**JILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!🖤 2023, Still Steady Rocking with you!!!**

[@deloresshephard463]

I'm Still Rocking Steady !! 🔥❤🔥❤ 5 - 8 - 24

[@esquibelle]

I adore Jill Scott's version @White House. I saw it on TV. .Mind-blowing. I saw it on TV. However in real life I saw Aretha and her sister do this song live at the Ambassador Hotel. in a ballroom w circular tables covered in white tablecloths Several African American couples brought along awesome leather cases that sat upon their tables & were mini bars that folded out that held bottles of various booze, glasses, stir sticks tc. All they ordered from waiters was ice. When the Franklin sisters sang "What is is, what it is, what it is" & Aretha sang the "Whooo-ooo" parts" I swear it felt like a fire engine drove by w full siren. Glasses shattered. I adore Jill Scott' version but there was nothing & never will be another Aretha Franklin. Amen y'all

[@paul24w]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!

[@bugginout3169]

This was us at our finest. Our finest, no more. 😢

[@pamwalters5974]

[@detrickharris7515]

AWESOME PERFORMANCE!!!! SIP ARETHA FRANKLIN😇🙏🎙🎤🎹🎶

[@marsstubblefield]

I was a proud American when BO was Prez - I still am, but I was prouder then . . .

[@lonniebagley8442]

I love this performance, listen to it all day long. Only Taraji Henderson come close in Tyler Perry movie

[@valeriemiles4623]

That movie is what brought me here. I was trying to find Cheryl Pepsii Riley's version. That's who's actually singing in the movie, not Taraji. Jill of course sang duh hell outta the song, but I like Cheryl's even better!

[@deek2903]

you goooooooo girl holy shit she killed it

[@johnayalachef]

She ate that ❤

[@katrinatruitt3455]

JILLY FROM PHILLY!!! NEVER DISAPPOINTS!
