  • Okay.. I need someone to tell me.. I saw this video when it aired and I said Patti, but the names don't match.. Is it Patti..

    Jon is so freakin gtreat..

  • Bettye LaVette is the singer.

  • This video had it all, diverse gender, diverse age, diverse race, diverse music background and yet they produced the most moving moment except for the inaugaration itself, unbelievable. And look at the sheer joy one each of their faces.

  • Lovely comment about this fantastic performance. Thanks for visiting!

  • BON JOVI GOT SOUL BABY!

  • It's been a long time and my girls gets to sing at a President Inaugural but they could have kept BonJovi out of this!!

  • The shot of them singing this with Licoln in the background amazing. Phenomenal.

  • Of course Battye can rock it, but who knew Jon had even the most miniscule amount of blues in his blood. Way to bad they got together for that sorry excuse some call the president.

  • Horrible!!!

  • OMG!!! What a beautiful duet. I wish they would record this to CD. Who knew Jon Bon Jovi could sing like that. Don't get me wrong, I owned a couple of Bon Jovi (vinyl) albums back in the day so I was familiar with the group, but I never heard of Betty Lavette until I saw this arrangement. This is absolutely beautiful ~ thanks for posting it.

  • they sound good together.

  • Proof positive that a great Rock singer can sing just about anything and make it sound awesome.

  • 1st of all --- The performance is TOO Slow & This Gives These 2 Supposedly "Great Singers" --- Just the Room they Need to MOVE IN & Step-n-Fetch-It a Beautiful Song with their own egos. My Opinion, which is what this venue is for: They Would Be Fired at the Audition & a Completely Unknown duo would have been put in their place. Pathetic that they are not even performing with an instrument. AWFUL!! Bon Jovi, especially, could not have been more Out of Place Here: Take a hike, buddy-YUK!~ttt~

  • This is one of the most electrifying & moving vocal performances I've ever watched and listened to. Bravo Bettye Lavette & Jon Bon Jovi!
