Opera singer Grace Bumbry, or as she's known by her nickname "Black Venus", was introduced by Kennedy Center Aretha Franklin. Franklin told a story about a legendary Bumbry performance of "The Dance of The Seven Veils", which ended with Bumbry in nothing but her "perfume and jewels." The revelation that the now 72-year-old woman once appeared in her birthday suit at Covent Garden prompted the Queen of Soul to burst out "No you DIDN'T girlfriend!" Romania's Angela Gheorghiu flew to DC to honor Bumbry with her own musical tribute.
