Carole King was honored by President Obama last night at a White House concert one day after she received the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.

King, the first woman to receive the prize, opened the East Room concert with a performance of “Beautiful,” according to the Washington Post. The famed singer-songwriter closed the tribute with “Jazzman,” “I Believe in Loving You,” “I Feel the Earth Move” and “You’ve Got a Friend” with friend James Taylor.

Gloria Estefan, Billy Joel and Emeli Sandé also performed King standards at the concert, which will air on PBS next Tuesday. Sadly, this means there isn’t video of the concert online yet.

In a speech, President Obama referenced the recent tornado in Oklahoma, saying “we turn to music during trying times for comfort, for inspiration and sometimes get for a good diversion.” He called King “one of the most influential singer-songwriters that America has ever seen.” Watch his speech below.
