The 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors was held last December 6 and broadcasted Tuesday in CBS. Among those who were honored were George Lucas, Rita Moreno and Carole King but it was Aretha Franklin who stole the show.

In a video posted by News.com.au, Aretha sung "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" on stage and to say that she blew everyone's minds is an understatement. From hitting the high notes to chucking fur, Aretha proves that she is still the queen of soul.

The most touching part? Our president quietly wipes the tears away as he cheered on for the 73-year old singer. The continuous awe of Carole King is equally a joy to watch.
