Aretha Franklin - (You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman (Live at the Kennedy Center Honors)

This clip brings me to tears every time. The reactions of Carole King (who was being honored) and Barack Obama are priceless.

and she ruled it. I remember watching this and thinking, wow, if her performance is that powerful on my TV, what must it have been like in person?

She was the greatest.

(We just watched The Blues Brothers the other day, and "Think" is another performance that still just absolutely rocks.)

when the music was first class and moving during this and the concerts they hosted at the WH. Just another way they showed up the Oaf of Office for the no class slob he is.
