That is the songwriter Carole King in the audience having all the reactions. She was being honored that evening by the Kennedy Center, and she wrote this song for Aretha. Aretha also sang at Obama's inauguration.
There will never be another Aretha Franklin!!! I'm 76 years old white woman and THIS was our music!! Aretha was the sound of soul. Damn she could sing!!! Thank you for reacting to her. She may be older here but she hadn't lost a thing!
She was very active in the Civil Rights movement in the 60s and made many appearances with Dr. Martin Luther King. She sang at the funeral of Dr. King and she sang at President Obama’s inauguration. She was an amazing person. At this appearance, which was in 2015, she was very ill and had been battling cancer. She passed away in 2018. Thank you for your great reaction. THE QUEEN. 👏👏👏🙏❤️
0:56 That blonde lady is Carole King, one of the greatest songwriters and a great singer as well. This song (Natural Woman) is written by her to Aretha! To see the queen of soul sing your song after those many years!!! Of course she would feel like that!
At 73yo she performed impeccably ❤❤ Carol King is the woman the camera keeps going to and she is so happy and overwhelmed at the performance, the Kennedy Centre is honouring her.. Carol actually wrote the song, Natural Woman..
When you see presidents and people watching wearing rainbow ribbons, you are watching Kennedy Center Honors. Songs sung almost always are covers of versions those being honored.

There’s nobody like her and she’s great !!!!
This is dedicated to Carol King! Carol didn't think she was going to be able to make it due to health.
Carol King wrote the music and Gerry Coffin wrote the words to Natural Woman.
Thank You.
Her last great performance before her death IMO. RIP Queen!

Aretha had terminal cancer at this point
Aretha Franklin song that song
The fact that he doesn’t know anything about The Kennedy Center Honors, Carole King…😁
Fur coat?
She had sung numerous times for the Obama's prior to this performance.
