Alicia Keys was a special guest on episode 3 of Nicki Minaj’s new Beats 1 radio show, Queen Radio. Keys took the time to pay homage to the late great Aretha Franklin by sharing a few stories about the few times she met Franklin, as well as Franklin being the inspiration behind a lot of her music.
“I was listening to her music while I was driving in. She’s so special. I feel sad, but really inspired and celebratory. She was able to touch so many people, divinely. She touched me. Some of my greatest songs were inspired by hers that I loved. Talk about queens — she was definitely the queen. She stepped into the room and everyone bowed down.”
Also, on episode 3 Keys performed ‘(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman’. Watch the performance below.
