But Aretha barely made it through the first verse before Barack Obama was spotted wiping his eyes, according to WSJ News.
The camera later panned back to the President, who was seen singing along to the music as he sat beside wife Michelle.
He later stood for the final chorus of the song, clapping appreciatively as co-writer of the song Carole King danced along beside the couple.
The President and his wife were in attendance at the 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors, held on December 6 in Washington.
