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.

Ah. So glad to have found this. It brings back that indescribable feeling of being among the crowd there during those special, electric days around the inauguration. We need to quit standing around and get back to that, man.

This is just SWEET! Wow Jon is great and ms Lavette has the Civil Rights, Love, strength , fear, victory and freedom in every note she sings, They should record this on a Live cd.

Two great voices. On the contrary. Bono is a overvalued singer.
Jon has a very contented gleam in his eyes. I know he could not be more proud to be involved in this historical event.

Yes, and Bettye as well, a white man and black woman singing "A Change is Gonna Come" together, in front of cheering thousands and the president to be!
