Live from the White House: "Try a Little Tenderness"

Cyndi Performs "Try A Little Tenderness" with Charlie Musslewhite at the White House.

[@patrickhilliard1344]

Cyndi Lauper rocks this song. She so amazing in any genre she sings (pop, dance, rock, blues, r&b, country, standards). This is what I know.... don't try any comparisons with any other artist (Madonna, Britney, Janet, J-Lo, etc) because Cyndi can blow everybody away. I've been a humongus fan since 1983, and my love for Cyndi Lauper will never end!

[@markhuff6849]

One of my favorite performances of this powerful song. Renewed respect for Cyndi Lauper!

[@JusticeForTheDead]

[@polajenjo7793]

[@JusticeForTheDead]

[@Luis-cb8et]

The Obamas liked this woman version!! And do I!!!♥️

[@JusticeForTheDead]

Stunning!! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame get her in there

[@loup4343]

She received the most fan votes of any living performer this year and they still didn't induct her! 😢

[@mattbernabe]

​@@loup4343Which is a damn shame

[@lorettasrockmusic2593]

Outstanding, Excellent! Great 2016.

[@davideminosa2632]

Incredible. Fantastic. To Sing 👌✨✨✨

[@SapphicUnderground]

Cyndi you smashed this! Your voice is something from the heavens and meant to be heard by all.

[@hero360travel3]

really respectful.... great vocals

[@browniesandtequila]

she's one of the best.!!!

[@evaneleven17]

This is beyond amazing.

[@vincevicentuan5962]

When I discovered Cyndi was snubbed by Rolling Stones for the 200 greatest singers of all time, I came back here to be reassured.

[@popland1977]

I definitely thought she was on it

[@vincevicentuan5962]

@@popland1977 Nope. However, she's on the 2023 batch of nominees for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I hope she gets inducted.

[@JusticeForTheDead]

Yeah, what she did with this song, and Carey, by Joni Mitchell, are amazing. Let alone her own catalog of top 40 hits! Time After Time and True Colors, and that "Girls" song people seem to like, are enough to get her in. My favorite cover by her will always be What's Going On. The musicianship on that with Rick Derringer and others is surreal.

[@JusticeForTheDead]

#2 in Rock & Roll Hall fan votes behind George Michael last year, and numerous vocal powerhouse performances and lasting hits, and she's still not in! Snobby critics need to respect her legendary performance ability and importance to 80s culture. She is one of the top 25 artists of the decade and has remained relevant! Kinky Boots won her a solo writing TONY, the first by a woman!

SO WE HAVE THIS CRAP BUT I CANNOT FIND MY OTIS REDDING ON KZbin ANYMORE ! SERIOUSLY??

[@Scriptease123]

Not as many performances were filmed back then and if they were they often had terrible sound quality.

[@JusticeForTheDead]

She tore it up. Sorry it's not who you wanted it to be.

[@madamepampadour]

Yeah. That's why she had a standing ovation.
