It brought tears to my eyes.
Angelique Kidjo -was magnificent in royal blue, a voice of an angel and performed with regal grace.
Thank you so much, ucrdem.
That was my response exactly -- a magnificent tribute and perfect for the occasion. I hadn 't heard it before but it's one of those songs you can't forget!
Very powerful. At the start she has to push past the blond guy who gives her a dirty look LOL. Then she belts out her song and he's mortified. Anyway with all the other sh#t going on today I'm glad it got a few recs. Thanks folks! And it will be here for oh, a few years before dropping off the front page LOL
