Aretha Franklin funeral: Stevie Wonder's FULL performance 

LaToya Russell very true.!

LaToya Russell he's only 68? thought he'd be older by now. seems everyone is old now (sigh)

LaToya Russell I agree it started with Martin Luther King Jr , Charlie Wilson's brother Robert David ruffin Marvin Gaye Michael Jackson Prince Richard Pryor Leverts son Sammy Davis Jr Whitney Houston Kennedy honors ETC he's been through enough losing his celebrity friends but he's strong-willed for his loyal support and song dedications other than THE GAP BAND Stevie Wonder is my idol ( Charlie Wilson's influence) I'll cherish Aretha Franklin talent and watch her in debut Movie The Blues Brothers in 1980 she nailed scolding her hubby not to leave her with her sister singing background and dancing. love her in it .Dan Akroyd give his respects now looking for John Landis I'm surprised I didn't hear from George Benson I love that ballad in 1981 Love the hurt away Thanks Stevie a dedicated friend for loss of love ones God bless Aretha and family and brother From the Mighty ☁️ s of Joy . R E S P E C T 🇱🇷

Yep all the real legends 😕

Who in the hell Stevie buried nobody. He paid his repect like so many others. Great tribute

Don't forget bob marley

I don't recall Stevie at JB's memorial service, at least not at the one that was televised, was he at one of the private ceremonies?

And Ray Charles

Don't forget Natalie Cole and Donna Summers

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Yessss!! I agree

M Birch Powerful! I love Stevie

You nailed that; "other worldly talent!"

It's like his harp was gently weeping as us all are. Rest in peace beautiful lady.we will greatly miss you.❤ Aretha Franklin.

what about Kanya? lol

amen to that Stevie is my #1 Spreading love and light always!!!!!!! “As” is one of my favorites

Hope they dont screw up his service like the did Arethas. Sad

Yes they need to stop writing and do it while our legends are still living

@@croomiva5851 Exactly. I've noticed the BEST biopics were made while the artists were alive and the artist were able to take part and give their feedback and approval.....Tina Turner, New Edition, TLC, Ray, Temptations, The Jackson's American Dream.....even the fictional The Five Heartbeats was awesome.

I agree that's why she was working on hers. Most definitely need to because we are losing them fast

Yes I agree, who would play him though 🤔....?

Kevin Ross perhaps? He’s on the Motown label. Underrated but great performer. Doesn’t look a thing like Stevie, but man is he talented! Check him out! 👇🏾 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZkwBgS94s-g.html

A Babs completely agree. That solo was magnificent, other-worldly

Sotrue

Right.

That’s the magic of Stevie

I agree with you. There was something just so soulful and emotional in his playing....that man is magical.

Imani Strong I know

I need to see him in concert before I die

We all die

Imani Strong I'm WAAAAYYY ahead of you on that comment

I mean it’s hard for him to go anywhere

Amen!

Grace Barzyz Amen!

Well said! What a beautiful soul!

Grace Barzyz Agree Stevie one of the best part of the program Hes lost many contemporary has lost so many fellow contemporaries throughout the years and had saluted and respected them them with class

I love stevie, i hate to see him go next. 😭😭

Such a huge loss, can't believe the Queen has moved on. And Stevie....what a treasure.

And you will never see another.

You haven't been around much then.

Corinne L I’m sorry not like Stevie. Stevie feels it when he is playing and can adjust to playing different styles.

No disrespect to S.W., but you might want to look into Sonny Boy Williamson.

Louis Lark Cause non ther exists.

AMEN!!!

Smokey Robinson performance at Aretha Franklin funeral

She deserved something like Michael Jackson had in 2009.

No white people were invited? Yet they call Trump the Racist. really?

@@sirwinstonlennon6486 are you blind or just a troll? Bill & Hillary Clinton are white, Faith Hill is white as is Arianda Grande and hundreds of other mourners. Geesh

Wow you named 4 white people? Well done! I spotted 6 white people some white folks in the band. PATHETIC! She was a RACIST!!

Amen Hallelujah❤🙏😘

N Kheir I mean............yes

Yes

Amen

We definitely need to wrap them in something...!

You couldnt have said that any better!

Amen

YES....for real..

SHELLIE SPANN lol i believe u go to church. Only church ppl say ridiculous things without even looking up a word. Carry on

@@novinawright1228 who cares what you think.... I surely dont,😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@novinawright1228 what have you done in your life to touch people like Stevie wonder has? The man doesn't even have to sing one note but instead he plays an instrument that can move people to tears with emotions, don't knock a word just because you don't agree with it.

This man has no physical sight but can write lyrics and music, sing and play beyond our imagination! Gifted. Blessed and chosen no matter what you say. All Gifts come from above.!

I Love Them ALL. I am a Godmother to one of Smokey Robinson's cousin. They all have those soothing sweet voices.

Add some patti labelle

Rhondq Graham Amen!!!!

lEtTUce #'''. 1st

I know I went to church from 9-4 If I didn't have to catch the bank before it closed there's no way I would have missed the ending

I teared up too with him just playing the harmonica.

Kay X It does when you play it right

Hate to even think about it but you're absolutely right

Your right! Lovin you always Stevie💙🖤💙

Aretha hit me that way. Im a 65 year old man and I cried on and off all day when Aretha passed.

Harp?

@@musa2775 let it go

@@jamesdenton94 I thought I missed something...

@@musa2775 harmonicas are also called harps. French harp would be more specific but it's still accurate.

@@veganpotterthevegan Thank you! I figured I was missing something. I didn't know that and appreciate the explanation. Cheers! 😊

No one knows the power of Love like those that give love. Rest well Aretha Franklin you have finished your course!

CLB30ROX yea I liked it until the background singers tried to over sing Stevie and they were out of like it was no tomorrow and sounded terrible

Exactly

yea yep

Lovely comment.

@@Joniiboyyy You should know both of them. I not a fan but I know plenty about Elvis and he died before I was born. Same goes for at least the most known, long seated politicians.

@@veganpotterthevegan He doesn't have to know them to be respectful and wish them peace in the afterlife.

@@aaronvargas6004 There is no afterlife. That said, there are certain, historical figures everyone should know. These are both very important people that were still in the limelight during his youth(he's still young but not 5). Not knowing anything of politics is why we're where we are. Non-voters and unknowing voters are a big deal.

Veganpotter Thevegan you can’t say for certain there’s no afterlife. Stop

Ikr

What time?

Some celebrities held conversations while the “Master “ played The Lords Prayer,then waited until he was turning it out on “Always” The four women tried to be heard over him,Jenifer Lewis,and the one on the right was loud,but Stevie stayed focus on what he was there to do,I guess that’s “Show Business”Stevie’s The Greatest! The GOAT !!!

Oh my.. Our little family used to dance around the house for hours in the 80's listening to joyful Stevie...

admire him so deeply you don't know how to spell his name?

Stevland Hardaway Morris

Yes Sir!

Well Marcel, it was a simple typo. Which always gets a reaction from the peanut Gallery.. For future reference, your opinion is Not Desired Nor Required!

Tommie Smith My favorite song by Ms. Franklin!!!

My favorite Franklin song, "Until You Come Back to Me" -many did not know Stevie wrote that one. I walked into a few bars and played it on their juke box and left.

So, so gifted and kind-hearted.

Tommie Smith he is truly a genius

Tommie Smith he sure did. I love his version of it

I won tickets to his limited tour he is on now last week and when I tell you it was magic I cried a good 3 times it was everything and his band was flawless

I saw him live a couple of years ago. At 67 he sounded like he did at 28. He is phenomenal.

wilsonf15 I wish I was there with you😔

Bridget Opher - I know about it from listening to stevie

Me also, but the one thing about Stevie is besides being a musical genius he is a true humanitarian His music comes from the soul (Soul music) anointed by God

@@ecclairmayo4153 you have a great up bringing God bless your parents❤❤💋

@@denisedenisehuxtable4183 yes so true❤

Bridget Opher - thank you!!

LOL...wasn't she? She showed out, just a lil bit!

I ain't mad at her. She needed to be seen.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 had me laughing so hard!

Lol I always liked that sistha

Journey to Me She may have been manic. She suffers with bi-polar

AMEN!!!

Sorry you can't worship God with things made with men hands (act 17:24-25) "instruments".

The Word Of God Says That He Inhabit The Praises Of His People! Let EVERYTHING THAT HAVE BREATH PRAISE THE LORD! (MUST I GO ON) PRAISE HIM WITH THE.......... (SOMEBODY FILL IN THE DOTS ABOVE) YOU CAN FIND THE ANSWERS IN THE BOOK OF PSALMS! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING THINGS THAT DON'T ADD UP TO THE WORD OF THE LORD! PTAS

@@toriestewart5299 that's in the old testament not in the new testament plus in the old testament only the levites priests could play an instrument. In the new testament we're instructed only too sing. You may roll your eyes at that command by Christ but it will cost you and many others their souls. Remember the old testament is for our learning, so what happen to those who offer something other than what God commanded?

You’re absolutely right ‘Some others like the four women that walked up just wanted to be seen singing with Greatness.

Thank you Augusta Scott!!! I was about to say the same thing!!! #Steviedidgreatalone

It's human nature to want to share a glorious moment🎵🎶🎵🎤🎵🎶🎵

I agree, Augusta Scott!

I was thinking the very same thing!

Beauty ByQ Dizzy diva!

Amen
