Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors this year, paying tribute to Carole King, who helped co-write the song she performed "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." The Kennedy Center Honors took place on December 6th in Washington, D.C., and just aired on TV last night, hence the circulation of this footage.

The footage shows Aretha Franklin hitting the stage and quickly seguing into a performance of "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." The performance brought joy to many people in the audience-- a shot of President Obama mid-performance shows him wiping tears away from his eyes.

Watch above. The legendary singer was a Kennedy Center honoree in 1994.
