Aretha Franklin and Condoleezza Rice perform together

When you think of politics and music you wouldn’t normally put them in the same setting. However things changed last night when the first African-American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Soul legend Aretha Franklin joined each other on stage. The two were performing at a charity event for for children to take music lessons. It all happened as Philadelphia’s Mann Music Center for Performing Arts. Rice played part of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.20 in D minor while Franklin belted out out some of her greatest hits like ‘Respect’ and ‘Chain Of Fools’. The event raised more than £370,000 to help children from low-income families to attend classes and concerts.
