Watch Aretha Franklin Pay Tribute to Prince

“There is something fearless and true about jazz,” were the words from President Barack Obama that opened the White House Jazz Concert, held to celebrate the fifth annual International Jazz Day.

The evening was full of memorable performances and amazing artists that passed through the stage of the event.

But the emotional apoteose came with a beautiful Prince tribute. A group of artists including Herbie Hancock, who had invited artists from Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly, prepared a soulful tribute to Prince, which ended with Aretha Franklin singing “Purple Rain”.
