Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter, Keyshia Cole, performed with students at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta after paying the school a surprise visit.
In a video that surfaced on social media over the weekend, the founder of the institution, Ron Clark, was seen interrupting the students as they performed a song titled Love.
“No, no. You’re not doing it right,” Clark said. “You gotta do it better, buddy. I want more depth, more heart, more soul, I want more Keyshia Cole. Sing it like this…”
The students were stunned when at that moment, Cole walked out from behind the staircase on stage and sang along with them. Donning an all-red hoodie and matching sweatpants, she passed the mic to students as they all sang together.
