There are many stars and politicians and big names honoring and dedicating and paying tribute to Aretha Franklin since her sad passing, and I didn’t want to just echo what everyone else was doing.
This is, at least for me, a time when I decide how I want to remember someone, and to help me with that, I choose something about the person that exemplifies who they were as a person.
I ran across this video, one of her many performances that were recorded, and I think this performance, shows off just who she was as a person, and I think it is one of the best performances of her life.
Introduced Chilina Kennedy, (who played Carole King in Beautiful the musical), Aretha Franklin performs (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman at the Kennedy Center Honors; a tribute to Carole King who received the Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime achievement in 2015.
