Can I just point out that Aretha Franklin's funeral is the best description of a black funeral on this planet we don't mourn the dead we celebrate they life
-
This funeral was better than any awards show I've seen in at least 20 years.
-
When she finally broke into that high note! My eyebrows shot up! Stayed that way. Those singers from the 70's are the gods.
-
Chaka Khan has aged so gracefully.. That's a joyful song, and I am sure Aretha Franklin was singing along and clapping her hands.
-
They probably gave her that song last minute. She really wasn't prepared but she pulled it off like an veteran
-
Chaka has lost so many of her good friends thru out the years. She once stated that they were icons to many but they were her friends. Aretha, Prince, Whitney Houston, Natalie Cole, Donna Summer. It's heartbreaking to think what she's gone thru. Chaka is a survivor!
-
She may not have known the words and read it from the back of a fan, but she still ate that song up, especially the end.😂😂🙌🏽 That choir killed it the entire funeral.
-
She hit that note so good they had to help Jesse Jackson get up😂
-
She knows what she’s doing. She begins slow then goes high then low and then blasts it out! She teases the audience as they beg for more of this unusual pitch, range and abstraction of her voice. Genius!
-
I'm weak 😂😂😂😂 auntie better sing them lyrics off that fan
-
I am a Muslim and in the same time I appreciates how people express saying goodbye to a dead person in celebrated way. Someday, All of us will go down there to the Lord. May God bless you all. Love from Kuwait 🇰🇼❤
-
The end was moving... especially when she came back out. That choir/background singers slayed too!
-
AND FOR THE RECORD....THAT FAN WAS GENIUS.
-
The Queen of Funk paying homage to the Queen of Soul!
-
Love that her pipes haven't deteriorated after so many decades of hitting those crazy notes. What a blessing!
-
This … I still can't get over. No teleprompter -- just a FAN
-
Don't let the fact that she's reading the lyrics off her fan deflect the fact that she can sing it better on the spot than your favs who had a week rehearsal!
-
only chaka khan can read lyrics from a fan and slay the shit out of a song
-
The one performance that gives me life!!! Watched over a 1000 times and I'll never get tired. Bless you Chaka Khan.
