Jennifer Hudson performed Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” at the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The performance was a tribute to Carole King, who wrote the song and is being inducted to the Hall as a solo artist; in her induction speech, King shouted out Franklin, the first woman artist inducted. Check out the performance and speech below.
King wrote “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” with her husband Gerry Goffin, with whom she was previously inducted into the Hall as a songwriting duo. Earlier this year, Hudson appeared as Franklin in the feature-length biopic Respect.
