Aretha Franklin, Natural Woman Tribute to Carole King, Kennedy Center!

[@4orrcountry]

Brought the house down in the grandest of scales...the crowd reaction reminds me only of the uproar that greeted Pavorotti following his third encore, "Nessun Dorma". Superb, Ms. Aretha! I am in total and complete awe.

[@ajbowen9371]

4orrcountry speaking of Nessun Dorma have you seen the video of Aretha performing it as a last minute stand in for Pavorotti?

[@davidjames2174]

AJ Bowen This walking horror Franklin "singing" Puccini? Heaven help us!

[@davidjames2174]

And it's Pavarotti - that's P - A - V - A - R - O - T - T - I. Evidently, in addition to being tone deaf, you can't spell. Nor, it seems, can "4orrcountry" lol.

[@morningstar2409]

She is a total inspirational woman and singer! Divine! I love that our president is a man who can show his feelings!

[@AuntieDocGlo]

Unknown to most, Aretha was very sick, even then. Yet because of her love for a friend and the legacy of soul music, shared her gifts with all of us. Yes, that is the heart of The Queen of Soul!

[@davidjames2174]

Having seen this video, it seems to me that she was ALWAYS very sick

[@4Is2See]

Aretha Franklin brought the house down with this magnificent performance. What a great body of work! I must give props to her backup singers and the musicians.

R.I.H. Queen of Soul, March 25,1942 - August 16,2018, You Will Be Missed!

[@TomMarkel-gplus]

Just one of the greatest performances I have ever heard/seen! So good. Carole King sure appreciated it!

[@4Is2See]

+Tom Markel Yes, sir, that's authentic raw talent. These new performers and song writers need to take notes.

[@stampy990]

This women just keeps getting better. Awesome!!

[@careyconley4690]

This "women?"

[@libbyd7842]

They saved the best for last. Aretha, one of the last great performers who puts on a professional show. Her performance this summer for Pope Francis, stellar.

Take notes patti this is how you slay a stage without making them deaf

[@careyconley4690]

TAKE NOTES: It's disrespectful to give tribute to one artist by unnecessarily bashing another.

[@davidjames2174]

4orrcountry Therefore . . . WHAT? There is nothing "natural" about killing animals to provide hideously tuneless "singers" with ostentatious, hideously ugly coats.

[@sherisnyder1955]
