The in memoriam segment of the 2019 Grammys was punctuated with a very special performance by the singers. The trio sang "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" while images of the Queen of Soul flashed behind them. As they concluded their song tribute, the audience got on their feet in celebration of the performance and of Franklin.
"That was so incredible, ladies, that was so beautiful," host Alicia Keys said after the three singers wrapped up.
Franklin passed away after a battle with cancer at the age of 76 in August 2018.
Adams has won five Grammys, Barrino previously took home one and Day has two nominations.
