THE 38TH ANNUAL KENNEDY CENTER HONORS
December 29, 2015  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

 
This TV tradition, one of the best and most rewarding shows of the holiday season each year, has been turned over to a new set of producers – but there’s no hiding, or ruining, the talent on hand as the Kennedy Center honors five major contributors to the arts. (Creative contributors, not financial ones.) This year’s honorees include George Lucas, Cicely Tyson, Seiji Ozawa, Rita Moreno, and Carole King. Just off the top of my head, I think it may be the first time the women honorees outnumber the men. The fellow artists gathered to honor them are many, and impressive, but let’s list just one, when King gets to watch, and listen, while her “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” is sung by… Aretha Franklin.
