You guys really don’t know who Aretha Franklin is?? She is more than a musician, she fought along side with Martin Luther king jr during civil rights. Just thinking about the things she’s done gives me goosebumps.

[@JD.Knight]

How can someone not even of heard of Aretha Franklin...it boggles the mind.

EXACTLY!!!

[@daviehudson4270]

This makes me sad for the future ... when the queen sings you listen and show respect

[@fbizzy81]

Listening to these two's painful ignorance kills my soul.

[@paullyboy1970]

This was the Kennedy Centre Awards back in 2015. At the start of the clip, an actress playing songwriter Carole King in the Broadway musical gives you some background on how Carole’s career writing some legendary (and still famous!) hits began in New York. That song, You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, was released in 1967, when Carole had dark curly hair. Today’s real Carole is the one receiving the award in the rainbow coloured medal ribbons. The original singer of the song is Aretha Franklin, who sang it when it became a worldwide smash hit in 1967. By the 2010s, Aretha had almost retired from performing - so that’s why Carole, watching in the balcony, was so emotional when her friend of 50+ years came out of retirement to perform at the awards ceremony honouring her. Oh and Aretha sang at Obama’s inauguration too! Hope that helps!

[@GoogleUser-hp8qe]

Aretha isn’t a celebrity, she is a historical figure!!!

💥💥💥💥💥

[@gabito7171]

I live in Argentina, and that these two do not know who is Aretha Franklin or carole King ... it really leaves me stunned ... speechless. How much ignorance my God.

[@jeremyadlermusic]

That was Carole king, who happened to be an honoree that night, and she co-wrote the song. Your ignorance, combined with the fact that you don't recognize CAROLE KING, appalls me.

[@gqg741]

I don’t think they meant any harm. They are from a different generation and sincerely didn’t know who she was. I think your comment was harsh and appalling. You could have educated them without being ignorant.

[@AnthonyJohnson-jp3ht]

The lady that singing her name is Aretha Franklin and she's considered to have the greatest voice of any musician of any genre of all time just Google her she passed away like a month ago

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Trust me they dont care

[@AnthonyJohnson-jp3ht]

@@ThatSingerReactions still Aretha Franklin Age music and you ain't listen to music throughout all genres then you don't know shit about the music you listening to where it came from

[@jeanleblanchard4935]

She influenced many singers from Mariah Carey, to Chris Cornell.

[@syvogtres]

I am Scandinavian and live in Scandinavia, and EVERYBODY here knows who those ladies are and how important they are in so many areas. WTF, this reaction video is symbolic of the demise of American culture, people getting more ignorant minute by minute, video clip by video clip. This reaction video could have been a scene in Joel Murray's "God Bless America" movie.

[@deeppurplefan9648]

They are ignorant of everything.

[@gasaholic47]

Aretha was 73 at the time of this performance, and battling pancreatic cancer.

[@jadeiman3094]

Rest In Peace Ms.Franklin

[@mic1240]

Come on, Aretha Franklin has been named the top singer of all time by so many artists, tops so many lists, so many truly iconic songs. I’m shocked you would have no idea who she is, really?? Google and read. And Carole King is a legend too. Aretha is in her 70s here. Music 101, beginner class.

[@ZombiegirlGaming]

There is something your missing???? Yea its called the appreciation for great music and Aretha is a national icon. SMH!

[@justinjohnson8551]

this girl looks like she is watching paint dry.

[@miguelalvarado1440]

Well, the Carole King's reaction is simple. They're not only were friends but Carole co-wrote that song, so... #Genius #QueenAretha

[@kikilove9552]

Aretha just died last month #legend ❤️

[@SkurtavusGrodolfus]

The one and only Queen of Soul. She will be dearly missed

[@freddiemercury7783]

Truely missed.

[@user-jf1ky9to8w]

The song was written by Carol King and there was something personal to the reason why it was given to Aretha (something to do with a late husband I think) . And as for Aretha, the most famous soul singer possibly of all time, and in her 70's (I think), a smoker and still able to school the youths + playing piano which is very rare for her.

[@MrGreggie77]

This was an honor for Carol King who wrote the song but Aretha's final performance. She was 73 and stepped up to honor Carol. With the President and first Lady it just made it a night to remember for all. It was all over the news it was huge for america at the time.

[@roseunderwood6298]

That is Carole King. Carole King wrote the song Aretha Franklin sang. Carole King was both surprised and delighted with Aretha Franklin!!!! The Flower 🌹

[@JaleneLovelace]

Facts: Music royalty Aretha Franklin... rated number 1 in greatest singers. Carole King legendary songwriter and singer Wrote the song for Aretha. It became a classic

[@keithdowdy2335]

Seriously, you don't know who these people are? Look her up. Jesus. Best singer ever!

[@waynesimpson4081]

Why it's so emotional: the KC Honors are the American equivalent of being knighted. Carol King (and George Lucas, the guy standing next to King, and others) were being honored (the rainbow-like ribbons around their necks). King was the songwriter and performer. Her Tapestry album ranks at #25 on Rolling Stone best albums of all time. Franklin's performance is the G.O.A.T. showing up to honor King. Franklin was in her 70's and in ill health. With her first strong note, King, Obama and the audience realize that she's still got it, but that this is possibly the last time they'll hear her perform.

[@robertreese9236]

She wrote the song for Aretha. Carole King is an iconic songwriter.

[@ericmcavoy1108]

The lady in the audience is the one who originally wrote and sang the song. It's a tribute.

[@makkie211175]

To say this simple: Elvis Presley : King of Rock & Roll Michael Jackson: King of pop. Aretha Franklin: Queen of Soul To give you millinials an idea how big Aretha Franklin is.

[@jamesgant213]

JAMES BROWN THE KING OF SOUL, before being named THE GODFATHER OF SOUL

[@vivienberryman1406]

Really surprised you don't know either of these stone cold legends. So much culture and it's passing you by

[@kathrynjarlov5166]

The Queen of Soul.

[@BrandonCM4]

Carol King wrote the song for Aretha Franklin in 1967 and was released that same year.

[@gregorygreer8983]

Carol King and assoc. wrote the song for Aretha Franklin . She sang RESPECT

[@2029killtime]

Aretha is really the root of the music industry every genre has transitioned with her impact.

[@Alex_186]

The woman sat next President Obama and the First Lady is Carole King the co writer of the song and the lady performing is the original singer the Queen of Soul herself the incomparable, the legend, the one and the only Miss Aretha Franklin who sadly passed away in August 2018 aged 76 after losing her battle with cancer.

[@jonnno243]

Aretha has always been so VERY good ,wonderul. I love this video. Another great female vocal performance is kd lang, singing Hallelujah,juno awards Winnipeg 2005.

[@andrewauerbach3441]

Carole King wrote the song Aretha Franklin is singing. It is a tribute to King, she was one of the honorees at the Kennedy Center.

[@gerardoalfredotabareztamez1886]

Tears

[@liamseanking23]

okay I know you guys know who Aretha is and I'm sure the song is inescapable, everyones heard this song before even if they don't 'know' it. the lady with the curly hair in the balcony is named Carole King, she was an incredibly influential songwriter from the 60's on, she wrote this song for Aretha who made it famous. I can understand how confusing this is to a straight couple, especially since the young woman on stage in the opening of the video was an actor from the broadway musical of Carole Kings life, so that lady was playing young Carole King as she introduced Aretha to sing a song that the real Carole King wrote, and she's singing it to her live, hence the tribute. I hope my explanation isn't too confusing but this truly was a historic pop culture moment which is why emotions ran so high.

[@arthurm.tellez275]

the lady is Carole King she is being honor and the girls who was talking is in the play "Beautiful" about Carole King.

[@lilchicklets]

Carole King is a legendary songwriter. 'Natural Woman' is a song she co-wrote. Aretha Franklin sang it and it was a huge hit. Kennedy Center Honors here is honoring Carole King's contribution to the arts. Aretha is paying tribute to her.

Aretha Franklin was ill with cancer when she did this performance. This was amazing! Just amazing. The Flower 🌹

The Lady in the crowd is Carole King the person who wrote the song ! ...... & OMG this singer is Areath Franklin possibly the greatest woman singer in history ! This is comon knowledge stuff guys..... just Google it ! It would have taken 5 seconds and saved you lots of embarrassment !!

[@stevenblackwell3899]

Aretha is called The Queen of Soul, and the lady in the booth is Carole King the writter of the song and this program was to honor her for the years of writting and music, the was noone who could showed a greater honor.

[@direnova6284]

Carol King would be in the top 10 American songwriters in history, Her album "Tapestry" was the flag carrier for the whole singer/songwriter thing of the sixties and seventies.

[@BrandonCM4]

Carol King wrote the song, and many for other artist. She’s a singer herself who sold millions and she was being honored. She didn’t know Ms. franklin, was gonna perform.

[@deckofcards87]

The blonde lady's Carole King, one of the big singers of the 70s and one of the best songwriters of her time. However Aretha was Big Momma of Cool and nobody topped her vocally.

[@arniemoriarty4110]

That lady who looked shocked is called Carole King she is a song writer who wrote that song for Aretha and she didn’t know she was going to be singing so that’s why she looked shocked.

[@chaunmcbeath5785]

When she is hot she sings good

[@Termite30]

Yes. She always had every venue she performed at to turn the air conditioning off before her performsnces in order to preserve her vocal chords. You guys really need to do some research on them. They are both music legends.

[@davidastete6673]

She is Carole King and she wrote Natural Woman for Aretha 😁

[@davidjohnston351]

She's the one who wrote the song

[@mimii.02]

y’all are so uncultured for not knowing Aretha..

[@Apeles96707]

That’s Carole King and she wrote the song!

[@melissamason7618]

Carol King and her partner wrote Natural Women. Aretha Franklin took this song to the moon. Anthea Franklin died in 2018. Anthea Franklin can sing opera, she is was a civil rights activist. Do know the song "Respect" if you ever heard it Aretha Franklin wrote and sang the song. It was a number one hit. She was in charge of her music career. She demanded to be paid in cash. You really need to look up Aretha Franklin.

[@MrMondo-xf2ji]

Otis Redding wrote "Respect". Aretha made it her own.

[@josefa372]

😂😂😂😂 I’m sorry guys... Aretha and Carole are some of the old time favorites.. Yes she is the original singer

They got the nerve to be banning books and you don’t know who Aretha is!?!

The "lady" they focus on is Carol King. The woman on the stage was merely telling her story.
