Erykah Badu Performs ‘On & On’ And Honors Fela Kuti On ‘The Tonight Show’
by Staff Editor
Erykah Badu is a woman of many hats, literally and figuratively. Spreading her talents across many stages over the course of her career, Erykah Badu still has that “it” factor that makes her so special.
Still having her hands full these days, one of her most recent outputs is actually in honor of someone else. Celebrating the Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, Erykah constructed a box series of 7 of Kuti’s albums. Taking to The Tonight Show stage, the singer treated viewers to a performance of her “On & On” classic, along with covering Feti’s “Sorrow Blood and Tears.”
Backed The Roots and plenty of other men and women who help give these records new lives of their own, check out the performance below.
