Celebrating Music's Greatest StarsAvailable for over a year
The song written by Carole in partnership with her then-husband Gerry Goffin and Jerry Wexler was released by Aretha in the 60s and went on to become an enduring hit. In 2015 Carole was an award-recipient at the Kennedy Centre Honors, and as part of the event "the Queen of Soul" herself took to the stage to perform the song. Carole talks to Michael Ball about being overcome with emotion whilst she watched the song she wrote decades ago being performed by its legendary custodian.
