Kelly Clarkson and iconic singer and songwriter, Carole King, performed "Where You Lead" in an amazing show over the weekend at the Global Citizen Festival in New York.

The event devoted to ending extreme poverty had stars rubbing elbows with each other, including Queen guitarist, Brian May, who championed the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985.

Clarkson has been singing renditions of former songs, mostly during her "Kellyoke" segment," including tracks by Sia, Madonna, Britney Spears, and other pop artists.

Last March, Clarkson paid tribute to the late Aretha Franklin during the "Aretha!" -- a Grammy Celebration For The Queen of Soul, and gave a jaw-dropping performance to "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You.)

The breathtaking song left the audience in awe and gave life to the auditorium, together with other top artists who honored the late singer as well. John Legend was among those who covered the late singers cover, "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." He said:

"Tonight, I am honored to salute the queen by singing a song on which she demonstrated her genius as an interpretative singer, musician, and arranger."

The night ended with Franklin's female anthem, "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman," by the collaborative effort of Fantasia, Alessia Cara, Andra Day, and Brandi Carlile.

Franklin passed away at the age of 76 after suffering from pancreatic cancer. She left a legacy in the music industry and inspired many artists who still perform today.
