00:02You've just heard the King's Guard playing Could You Be Loved by the late Bob Marley.
00:08I always recall his words, the people have a voice inside of them. He gave the world that
00:14voice in a way that no one who heard can ever forget. I was particularly pleased to meet Ray
00:20when I visited Battersea Power Station in December to see how my Prince's Trust, now renamed the
00:27King's Trust, continues to help young people, very nearly half a century since I first founded it.
00:35Anyone who saw Ray perform at the Grammy Awards will know that she is a great ambassador for
00:41British music. Kylie Minogue came to St. James's Palace to perform this song in 2012 in advance
00:48of the Diamond Jubilee visit to Australia. We had a large reception for Australians in the United
00:54Kingdom, and as Kylie is an ambassador for my now King's Trust, she very generously agreed
01:01to come and perform. The song is The Locomotion, and this is music for dancing. Again, it has
01:10that infectious energy which makes it, I find, incredibly hard to sit still. This very last
01:17song is one of my particular favourites. It is Upside Down by Diana Ross. When I was much younger,
01:25it was impossible not to get up and dance when it was played, and I wonder if I can still
01:31just manage it.
