A bittersweet moment. Just watched a clip of Aretha singing "You Make Me [View all]

Feel Like A Natural Woman" for Carole King at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honours . President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama both singing along, tearing up, both so moved. And Carole, so much joy.

A few moments of beauty, grace, love and joy, so sorely needed these days.
