Alicia Keys brought the house down with songs that are as old as many of the people who were watching the show. Her debut album, “Songs in A Minor,” is celebrating its 20th anniversary and Keys has been able to prove her staying power since then becoming RIAA’s number one certified female R&B artist of the millennium. Before performing an incredible medley of “Piano & I,” “A Woman’s Worth,” “How Come You Don’t Call Me” and “Fallin’,” she was saluted by former First Lady Michelle Obama.
“I remember what it felt like to feel like to hear the song ‘Fallin’’ for the first time. It was edgy and soulful, graceful yet raw,” Obama said. “This young singer was taking us to church and to the symphony and to a candlelight dinner and couples therapy and everywhere else all in a little more than three minutes. I knew right then and there that this wouldn’t be the last we’d hear from Alicia Keys, and in the years since she’s amazed us again and again in so many ways.”
