Renée Fleming and Vanessa Williams - 'What the World Needs Now' | The Kennedy Center

Renée Fleming and Vanessa Williams perform "What the World Needs Now" in the Kennedy Center's Opera House.

The Kennedy Center presents "On Stage"
A Time to Sing: An Evening with Renée Fleming and Vanessa Williams

Isolation and harmony, fragility and resilience, oppression and hope. These are the emotions of our time, and the subjects explored in "A Time to Sing" — a very personal collection of songs performed by two of America's most celebrated vocalists in a unique event at the Kennedy Center.

Filmed live on Saturday, September 26, 2020.

As usual, Vanessa Williams is just spectacular ❤

[danielshade]

Am I hearing Renee actually sing pop stylings? Wow. That’s a leap made to look easy by one of two timeless gems. What a just whole lot of woman on that stage and praise whatever made it happen. This should just be on an hour a night until all the good songs are used up. 25 years maybe?

Amen sisters and what a great performance!

the Great Vanessa Williams ❤

These ladies say that after fifty years we still have the same divisions in our country. Well, that’s never going to change until PEOPLE change!!

How about giving Burt Bacharach the Kennedy Center Honors? He's long overdue.
