The Queen of Soul joined the former Secretary of State onstage Tuesday night at the Mann Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia, Pa. in a duet that ABC News called “The Diva and the Diplomat.”

Rice tickled the ivories on selections by Mozart and others, while Franklin sang from her upcoming album, A Woman Falling Out of Love. The two performed together as well, notably on Franklin’s hit “Say A Little Prayer.”

Tickets for the show ranged from $24-$95, benefiting educational programs for inner-city youth.
