    PURRRRRR-FECTIOON. Smooth as a cat momma's purr, sweet as a kitten. Cynthia and Ben are the cat's meow...LOL...TRULY! I'd love to see these two star in the same Broadway show. And...HUGE SHOUT-OUT to the BAND, BACK-UP SINGERS, and SOUND ENGINEERS. It's so tough to get everything lined up as perfect as it was here. KENNEDY CENTER ENGINEERS & PROFESSIONALS ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! (And know, I don't get paid to say that...I have just listened to a mess of performances over the years. I have been a radio producer and engineer and know how hard it is to balance so many different voices, instruments, etc. live on stage). THIS IS TOP NOTCH STUFF HERE AND I HOPE FOLKS APPRECIATE HOW HARD THE FOLKS BEHIND THE SCENES WORK. Thanks, Kennedy Center for posting all these amazing talented people doing what they love.

    Had the pleasure of watching this special tonight. Her power and understanding of every song she sings (and performs ) is joyous and beyond comparison as she is clearly aware of the shoulders of the great ladies who came before her. ( I spied a tattoo of Ladyday on her arm as testament to this). My only gripe is that the concert was clearly longer and I selfishly wanted to savour more of this ladies talents .
