USA TODAY was at the 45th Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C., and spoke with some of the honorees, including George Clooney.
“illuminates everything and everyone in her orbit,” according to LL Cool J, who joyfully introduced the diverse spate of musicians to honor Knight.as he patted his chest, squeezed his eyes shut and dug out his falsetto, imbued “Midnight Train to Georgia” with his usual heartfelt energy before Guyton, resplendent in a gold gown, slayed Knight’s soaring psalm of resilience, “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me,” her voice gliding up the scale at song’s end.
“You’re my sister friend, my everything, for six decades,” she said, tearing up as she addressed Knight. The performance culminated – fittingly – with “That’s What Friends are For,” with Brooks, Guyton and DeBose trying to stay out of LaBelle’s way as she ad-libbed roof-raising vocal runs.
The stage setting – a dimly lit bar – allowed for the surprises to land easily as the spotlight roamed. Clooney’s father, Nick, 88, his TV anchorman voice still resonant, shared his pride in his son. “He has never stopped surprising me, never stopped learning…George’s best and most important work is still ahead of him.”
