Who sang "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," at Aretha Franklin's funeral?
Answer
Ariana Grande
Answer
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande sang "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" at Aretha Franklin's funeral.
Grande performed the song during Franklin's funeral service on August 31, 2018, at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit. The service celebrated Franklin, who had died at age 76 and was widely known as the "Queen of Soul." Grande's performance was one of several musical tributes honoring Franklin's influence.
"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" was closely associated with Franklin, who recorded it in 1967 for her album "Lady Soul." The song was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, with music by King and production input from Jerry Wexler. Franklin's recording became the definitive version for many listeners.
A common mix-up is confusing Grande's funeral performance with her rendition on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" earlier in August 2018. She performed the song on both occasions, but the question refers to the Detroit funeral service.
