TRACEE ELLIS ROSS SINGS ARETHA FRANKLIN

Actress Tracee Ellis Ross is best known for her role in the hit series, “black-ish,” and of course, for being the daughter of R&B Diva Diana Ross.

But did you know she can also sing? The feisty actress shared a clip on Instagram of herself having a sing-along with her co-star Jenifer Lewis.

The two women sang a fragment of Aretha Franklin's “Rock Steady” with Jenifer taking the lead, and Tracee coming in with the bridge.

But although Tracee proves to have inherited her mom's vocal gifts, she lost her timing. The end result was a lot of laughter, and fun between friends.
