Scenes from Cipriani

Imagine a double bill of George Michael and Aretha Franklin! Thanks to the Cipriani/Deutsche Bank Wall Street Concert Series—which benefited the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and the Sarah Ferguson Foundation—I didn’t have to.

The Queen of Soul was still belting out hits like "Respect" and "Freeway of Love" at midnight, and though she capped the evening with a heartfelt version of "Silent Night," the ecstatic crowd was anything but.
