US President Barack Obama, speaking for the first time about allegations that Secret Service agents hired prostitutes, said on Sunday that "of course I'll be angry" if those accusations are proven true by an investigation.
London (ANI) - Putting all her political views aside, Aretha Franklin recently took to stage with Condoleezza Rice for a charity concert.
The soul star, a staunch Democrat who sang at President Barack Obama's inauguration, appeared on stage for a three-hour concert with classically trained pianist Rice - a Republican who served as an aide to President George W. Bush, reports the Daily Express.
The Respect hitmaker belted out her hits and a number of classical arias, while the former U.S. secretary of state played piano accompaniment alongside an orchestra at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Introducing her song I Say a Little Prayer, Franklin told the crowd of 8,000: "You didn't think she could play it, right?"
The concert was expected to raise 387,000 pounds for an arts program, which helps underprivileged children.
