What will Aretha Franklin sing during Barack Obama's inauguration?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

YouTube took down the Aretha Franklin version of Lift Every Voice, but there is a version by the Great American soprano Leontyne Price. Price starts singing the song at about 3:30 into the video clip. Ms. Price talks about the White House, an Abraham Lincoln portrait (that hangs in the WH), and performing fo US Presidents.
Life Every Voice & Sing (1st Verse):
Lift every voice and sing,
'Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on 'til victory is won.
Or, Aretha might sing a standard like Amazing Grace, Nessun Dorma or something..

He listed it as one of his favorite songs of hers. That is only a guess, I could not find any official listing of what she will sing.

I agree...may not be the 'best' choice of song for an inauguration...
See, I read that but I thought it would sort of make a bad statement....
