Video: South African student sings "At Last" to First Lady Michelle Obama

The First Lady met with students at MLK middle school in Dakar, Senegal. During the visit, one of the students gave an impromptu performance of Etta James’ “At Last” and she blew us away. “Let me tell you — that young woman could sing,” the First Lady said. June 27, 2013

when I saw the thread title, because my niece sang it at a performance last year. I like her version better. But then, she's my niece.

. . . with this young SA girl pouring her heart out for our first lady.

How very nice to be treated to such a personally touching performance by your niece.

Someday you may hear her, as well. She's headed to a performing arts college this fall.
