Aretha Franklin (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - Kennedy Center Honors 2015

Aretha Franklin's powerful voice brings a tear to President Obama's eye... and to mine as well. (I know this has been posted elsewhere on DU before, but there's never a bad time to enjoy Aretha Franklin.)

Full segment of Aretha Franklin (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - Kennedy Center Honors 2015. Chilina Kennedy, plays Carole King in Beautiful, the musical, introduces Aretha.

and others, are strong... I can't watch at this time because I cry... although I love Aretha Franklin and that video

I am so angry, so depressed, feel so hopeless that we have fallen so far and so much damage is being done...

sorry to post such sadness at your wonderful upbeat videos

this is the video that I keep going to...
