And I remember Carol Moseley Braun! That was such a big deal when she got elected. She really paved the way as well. Basically all these people being honored and on this stage really paid their dues.

But that high A flat in the bridge kicked some of Miss Patti's ass (even with all the screamin and gesturing), just like it has done countless other singers. Aretha's recording of this song set the standard very high. Amber Riley is a strong 2nd. Kelly Price handles it well, but even she lowered the key from Aretha's E flat major down a whole step to D flat. Very few others have been successful in any key.
