\u201cWhat a beautiful tribute to Aretha Franklin\u2764\ufe0f\n\n#NaturalWoman #Grammys\u201d— Now 105.7 Binghamton (@Now 105.7 Binghamton) 1549859927
The singers honored the Queen of Soul with a powerful performance.
Andra Day, Fantasia, and Yolanda Adams delivered for the final moments of the 61st annual Grammy Awards.
Though the tribute was surprisingly short, the singers honored the late legend with a powerful performance of the song. The trio graced the stage during the “In Memoriam” segment of the ceremony and performed a rendition of Frankin’s 1967 hit “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.”
