I so agree with you! I would give anything to have that lovely man back as our president. (And it makes me sad to see how he sort of restrains himself in this video. Like everyone else in the room, he clearly would like to be grooving a bit to this music. But can you imagine the hateful comments if he did?) We miss you, Mr. President.
This is just a wanna move your ass song & the best inaugural event i ever watched it all for once.. President & the very 1st Lady ever Michelle thank you, still love you💯🎼💜
This performance!!!! Jill Scott CRUSHED IT! backing vocals, band and horns bringing it as well. Multiple parts coming together to create a masterpiece!!
Count yourself lucky if you’ve ever had the privilege of hearing Jill live. She’s a force of nature. Singer, actress and don’t underestimate.. poet. It’s rare that a band can be killin it and yet her *voice* is the band’s *feature* instrument. Can we also give some mad love for the BGV’s??? They were NOT playin!! Woooo!!!
I was born in Australia in the 70s to mixed race parents my Dad Basque my Mum Irish Scottish. I grew up watching Sesame St and asked my Mum why there are no black people where i lived, I was not aware of the white Australia policy. I watch this now and am amazed still how divided the USA is and how unlikely it could ever be united all to the benefit of the individuals that truly own the world. Divide and Concore. Having said that I have loved this track from the moment I first heard Aretha sing it at the time I was in my 20s I didnt know what funk was when I was a kid but i did when I heard this.
If you don't get goosebumps listening to Jill channel her inner Aretha, if you don't want to start dancing to this funky song...you may not have a pulse. One of my favorite's from Aretha, Jill nailed it!
I adore Jill Scott's version @White House. I saw it on TV. .Mind-blowing. I saw it on TV. However in real life I saw Aretha and her sister do this song live at the Ambassador Hotel. in a ballroom w circular tables covered in white tablecloths Several African American couples brought along awesome leather cases that sat upon their tables & were mini bars that folded out that held bottles of various booze, glasses, stir sticks tc. All they ordered from waiters was ice. When the Franklin sisters sang "What is is, what it is, what it is" & Aretha sang the "Whooo-ooo" parts" I swear it felt like a fire engine drove by w full siren. Glasses shattered. I adore Jill Scott' version but there was nothing & never will be another Aretha Franklin. Amen y'all
8.12.21 Who’s Back For More Of Ms. Aretha Franklin ( No Matter Who’s Singing Her Songs)? ME...That’s Who!!! ROCK STEADY BABY!!! ReRe’s 1971 Jam...Yeah Baby!!! Jill Scott...Love You Sista...You Did That, Had Fun And I Was Jammin Right Alone With Ya!!! Rest Easy Our Queen Of Soul!!! We Love You..I LOVE YOU!!!
This is to Jill Scott my sister you did Aretha Franklin a great honor the way you sang Rock Steady at the White House President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama and everybody else enjoy it they also agreed that you did that song more than anyone else could have done it and I'm going to say to clean or so if we could just go back and feeling machine and see her again that's how much we miss you so I can go back and enjoy seeing Aretha Franklin queen of soul in person again and again you miss you😁🤗
I'm still loving this performance in 2024!!

i tried to find a recording of it by her but was unsuccessful. it would have probably been a hit
Oh I miss them soooo much. The White House had soul.. for 8yrs😍😍😍😍
I'm here for the music, but honestly, I'd give anything to have that beautiful human being as our president again❤❤❤

I was a proud American when BO was Prez - I still am, but I was prouder then . . .
Jill with the I know I did the damn thing strut at 4:20 was priceless.

I love how the Prez closes his eyes, bows his head and takes it all in. He was really into this performance. And so was I.
❤
Idk what kind of ASMR video this is but god damn these tingles won't stop!! SHE DID THAT!!!
This performance!!!! Jill Scott CRUSHED IT! backing vocals, band and horns bringing it as well. Multiple parts coming together to create a masterpiece!!

Basque and Irish/Scottish...in America we just call that white. Race is color here, your roots are culturally mixed, but just European.
I love her version!!!
This has to be one of the funkiest grooves of any time.💯💯
There is sexy and then there is Jill Scott...My goodness....That woman....
If you don't get goosebumps listening to Jill channel her inner Aretha, if you don't want to start dancing to this funky song...you may not have a pulse. One of my favorite's from Aretha, Jill nailed it!
Band is sounding good !!! ❤❤❤
