Jennifer Hudson and the Democratic party both have rich — but until now separate — histories with Sam Cooke’s classic song “A Change is Gonna Come.” The three came together at the close of the third evening of the 2020 Democratic National Convention Wednesday night with a spectacular performance by Hudson that took place under the Tiffany dome at the Harold Washington Cultural Center in Hudson’s hometown of Chicago.
J. Hud sang the Sam Cooke Classic in Classic Aretha Franklin Fashion!
Hudson was accompanied by two pianists: Fred Nelson, Aretha Franklin’s conductor, the soul queen’s piano player for years, Richard Gibbs, . Reginald Foster on soprano sax.
