...and just not in front of my grammy's mammy's auntie's who was Abe's mother's memorial. I'm serious. I like you both, but maybe I'll jam on your relitives graves. And then there's Barrack. I'm getting real sick. who was Abe's mother
@mr telegony bon jovi is a decent person but you are a looser nothing more nothing less any way i am off to JAPAN TO DO SOME SINGING WITH MY BAND YOU JUST KEEP DO IN WHAT YOU DO BEST LOOSER
@mr telegony you are a peace of shit you are nothing to me what you say or do means nothing because you are i can bye you and sell you white nigger you are just trash .someone who trying hard to be somebody on you tube lololol nothing you can say to me that can hurt me because i dont respect you and youe so call white shit ok learn that and go suck your mother . so thats the truth you do not have no shame after all that i say to you . hahahaha peace of shit,
This is just SWEET ! Wow Jon is great and ms Lavette's voice has the Civil Rights, love, fear, strength, victory and freedom in every note she sings, They should record this on a Live cd.
when i went to washington DC i stood right there in front of the lincoln memoral looking at the washington monument and thats all i was thinking about, this performance!
this women has ruined sams tune! why does she add new words to the song, cringworthy, sam would be pissed off. the irony that bon jovi is singing too is bad, its a white man singing a soul classic that was wrote for a black man to be sung by a black man, not a rich white man out of some shitty american band oh dear
Well he is also a business guy (football team owner), I guess that's why he wears smart stuff sometimes maybe. He still wears cool jeans and stuff too though.
I watched the inauguration that day for a long time! Whay didn't this come around when I was watching? I just knew he was going to be in! I just did't know when...
look how handsome jon is.... as the years pass it seems like he's just the same when i first saw him in the video of it's my life... so handsome... love jon...
WOW. Jon sounded great. Bettye owned the song until Jon joined in. Bettye seemed to get out of sync as Jon kept in sync. It must be hard to sing facing that smile. Nice video.
I beg to differ. I thought this was the best duet I have seen in a long time. Their voices were in sync in a fabulous blues-y way. This performance gave me a chill. This and Garth Brooks were the best. Sorry Beyonce its not all about you. LOL
Jon is a huge influence in the world of politics and he campaigned for President Obama and raising lots of money. The President picked who he wanted to sing at these different events. I read that Betty lived in New Jersey and more than likely her and Jon are friends because he's from Jersey too!
I have a new favorite singer and her name is Bettye Lavette! I cried during her entire performance, and now I just cannot get enough of her. She is AMAZING!

Just in general. I've seen him in some TV appearances and he looked like a business guy with designer shades and a suspect feathery do.
Not to take away from his music back then by any means.
