No, she didn't sing it the way HE would have. She did it HER way, with power, depth and style. I learned a lesson. Never underestimate the Queen!

    She actually sang the song for him a few days earlier at a Musicare Foundation event. He ran to the stage in praise of her performance. So, he had confidence she could step in for him. All she needed to know was whether she could handle the key he sang in. Otherwise, the sheet music would probably have been altered for a key she was comfortable. She really saved the day and some expense for the Grammys that day. I really liked how she put her own spin on it at the end which put the icing on the cake for me.

      Undoubtedly a great performance, but seeing as this is not in Pavarotti's key (D major) this was undoubtedly not a last minute decision since the arrangement had to be transposed. Also, they cut out the part where Sting says that she had performed the piece at a concert 2 nights earlier. No need to add to the legend. It's magical enough. variety.com/1998/scene/vpage/pavarotti-sets-tone-for-musicares-gala-1117468077/

    I was a consultant at a business that I was told had a toxic culture. While there I used Aretha’s RESPECT as a method of getting the staff to think of positive words that started with each letter. This was the beginning of the turn around of the culture to positive. So much so that an article was written about it.. Thank you Aretha for guiding me to using the word RESPECT from your song to turn this staff around.
