Aretha Franklin and Lyle Lovett were among the musicians who performed at a special White House concert
President Barack Obama paid tribute to gospel music at a special White House concert, saying it had helped to shape America.
“I’ve got to say, you’re having a pretty good night when T Bone Burnett and the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, show up at your house to jam,” Obama said. Lyle Lovett, Rhiannon Giddens, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Shirley Caesar, Tamela Mann, Michelle Williams, Darlene Love and the Morgan State University Choir were the musicians who brought audience members to their feet.
