At the 20th BET Awards on Sunday night (June 28), Jennifer Hudson delivered a stellar performance of the Queen of Soul's "Young, Gifted and Black." Hudson -- who is starring as the icon in the upcoming film, Respect, out later this year -- injected new meaning into the classic track, which she performed with vocal support of a gospel choir.

Following the set, a trailer for the film played in which Hudson sings "Respect" in a gold gown. Hudson has kept busy in quarantine, most recently appearing on Global Goal and in May collaborating (virtually) with John Legend for the second Disney Family Singalong livestream.
