Heather sings to Elton

I fear this blog is drifting a bit from movies, but maybe that's okay once in a while. I'll swing it back but in the meantime, here is a classic musical moment that really got my heart racing the first time I saw it. It's the beautiful, not-as-famous-as-she-should-be singer, Heather Headley, singing to Elton John at his Kennedy Centers Honors tribute in 2004. She brought the house down, and if she looks particularly emotional, it's because she won a Tony Award for playing the lead in Elton's musical, "Aida". When they cut to the sky box, look for the grin on Annette Benning's face--she's behind honoree Warren Beatty. Annette knows a genius moment when she sees it. Play it loud and enjoy.
