The queen of soul at the inauguration of our 44th president.Barack Obama.
Aretha performs America. My Country Tis Of Thee.

"My Country, 'Tis of Thee", also known as "America", is an American patriotic song, whose lyrics were written by Samuel Francis Smith. The melody was derived from the British national anthem, God Save the King or Queen, by way of a German adaptation. The song served as a de facto national anthem of the United States for much of the 19th century.

    I think it is very odd that a sound about America is sung to the tune of the British National Anthem "God Save the Queen".

    Her presance was essential as this event, no one deserved to sing there more than she did. But that voice is not the Aretha that will live forever on record, time for the Queen to enjoy the fruits of her sucess amd leave her reputation intact.
