Beyonce Dedicates 'A Change Is Gonna Come,' Cover Of Sam Cooke Classic, To Detroit (VIDEO)

WATCH: Beyonce's Powerful Dedication To City In Crisis

Though Beyonce is in the middle of a long and hectic worldwide tour, she took time during her stop in Detroit to give the city a powerful tribute during its time of crisis.

While Queen Bey has covered Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" before, this rendition was particularly moving for Detroiters: It not only sounded amazing, but was accompanied by images of city history and its musical legacy, from Aretha to Eminem.

The rest of Saturday's performance at the Palace of Auburn Hills in metro Detroit garnered high praise from local fans as well as critics. In the Detroit News, Adam Graham called "The Mrs. Carter Show" Beyonce's best concert yet.

"'Halo' closed out the evening, and if there wasn’t one on her head by the end of the show, it’s only because her crown is simply too big," he wrote. "Bow down."
