BET PAYS TRIBUTE TO NELSON MANDELA





Entertainment channel BET this week celebrates the inspiring legacy of Nelson Mandela in a soulful tribute by Aretha Franklin at the BET Honors (BET International, Friday 28 February at 22:00) 


Taped at the BET Honors 2014 in Washington, D.C. on 8 February, the tribute to the late former President of South Africa was led by the queen of soul Aretha Franklin, as she delivered a heartfelt rendition of the Sam Cooke classic “A Change is Going to Come”, in front of a series of giant images of Madiba.


The tribute was preceded by a moving video montage that quoted Mandela’s own words, spoken by a host of stars from Beyoncé to Forrest Whittaker, Berry Gordy, Miguel, Smokey Robinson, Russell Simmons, Jermaine Jackson, Idris Elba and many more.
