Condi Rice Will Back Aretha Franklin On Piano For Performance
Condi Rice is back. No, she’s not headed back to Washington D.C. She’s headed to Philly to perform with the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
According to AOL Black Voices:
On July 27, Aretha Franklin will perform at Philadelphia’s Mann Center for Performing Arts with the Philadelphia Orchestra. In addition to singing classical arias, she will be joined by Rice for two songs.
The classically trained pianist, who previously performed for Queen Elizabeth II and alongside famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma, will join the internationally renowned soul diva for her staples ‘Say a Little Prayer’ and ‘Natural Woman.’
On working with Rice, the first black woman secretary of the state, Franklin, a 20-time Grammy Award winner said she “is a consummate classical pianist, and since I sing the arias, I thought that we could do something, a bipartisan effort for our favorite charities.”
