Heather Headley performs Diana Ross' song "Reach out and Touch" for former Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and Jimmy Carter at Points of Light Tribute event.
I thank God on today for Heather Headley. She literally has me in TEARS. TEARS, Y’ALL! I Thank You, Lord, for helping me to remember those in need. Thank You for reminding me to appreciate the little things. I am blessed and I speak that into my 2022, as well as everyone else’s! 💯💪🏾✨
I have witnessed many, many singers over the years. This performance was without a doubt the most moving I have ever seen. Heather can connect with her audience like no other. She is not just a great singer but a fabulous actress. It was so pleasing to watch such joy in Barbara Bush's reactions to Heather. Made my day.
So proud of your accomplishments. God's blessings and special favor for continued prosperity in all areas of your life. St.George's High School, Barataria, Trinidad 🇹🇹; Toronto, Canada
Mrs. Headley continues to amaze the world with her God given talent and blessed voice. Her version and rendition of this song elevates the song to level that surpasses most of our understanding. She took the audience by storm to church with her version of this song. Our former First Lady, Mrs. Bush eyes, heart and soul showed a thorough appreciation of what she was seeing and hearing. May God continue to bless the world, Mrs. Headley and her family!
cameronstl ..It's always lovely witnessing the "LOVE" spirit obviously touching and warming the hearts and souls of some. Even made Bill Clinton stand up and clap with Barbra :) No surprise .... that her husband George and son George Junior refused to stand. But you got to at least, give them both credit, for a supporting clap :).
From the sanctuary of my family's church, right before the benediction our Pastor would request 1st the musicians, to play a couple verses of, "Reach Out & Touch Somebody's Hand," and then he'll kindly beg us to stand up & join hands around the sanctuary and sing a verse or 2 of, "Reach Out & Touch..." for him please before we go? Rev. Mims asked this of us so many Sundays, I almost thought all church's did the same. Tears, naturally would start to fall from his eyes by the time we reach the chorus & he'll see all our hands interlaced, swaying side 2 side, in unison while we come together once more, in song, heart felt, spirit full & bouncing around blessings from each other and all around us! Heather Headley's version here, reminds me of those great Sunday's I used to know & look forward to throughout my formative to teenage years. So much so, I couldn't wait to return once I finally got into a routine on campus & my off campus jobs to return to The Tabernacle and fill up the gap missing in my life, confirming still, there's no place like home especially when 1 is the house of the Lord, where my Grandparents said their vows back 1 winter in the mid-forties, bring the 1st wedding ceremony held inside the main sanctuary, looking like photos from a story book or film, they looked so.petfect (him fresh out the military at 25 & his new lovely & demure bride all of 19 yrs. old) -with the rest of loving friends & family all there to celebrate their day of love! So yes, thank you songbird, Heather, you great artist & friend for reminding us again, through your gift of song that this was not only to our nation's most rare & unique 1st Family, twice over plus & the sheer joy of a First Lady in the audience, who served her country,, our country, doubly also as both wife of Leader of the Free World & Mother of a US President, couldn't hold back the elation stirring sensation inside her soul of 1 sweet song that represents so much to her & her own life's legacy, that she wouldn't have imagined for herself at all when she was a lil girl! So Yes, Reach Out & Touch Somebody's Hand, heart, home, health and lets find a way to heal better this time, this year, together.
I just adore the lady. Glad she came along during my lifetime. What she does she does probably better than any other singer around in the last 20 years. I can't get enough of her.

She sings the Hell out of this song. I love me some Heather Headley.

Wonderful performance by Miss Headley! (Mrs. Bush appears genuinely moved by the song.)
Right!

She is not just a great singer but a fabulous actress. It was so pleasing to watch such joy in Barbara Bush's reactions to Heather. Made my day.
This performance was AWESOME! Did you see Barbara Bush's eyes water and touching her chest? She knew that she was in the presence of greatness.
