Luther Vandross, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince and now Aretha Franklin... Stevie Wonder is a true human artist who gave a sincere tribute to all of these artists... and all these great artists have been inspired by himself !!!!! Thank you Stevie for your generosity... i can't stop crying....
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
Stevie Wonder has buried so many legendary musicians in his sixty-eight years of living. Stay strong my Brother.
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
Can hear the love in that harmonica harmony Stevie. You have lost a lot of your friends in recent years & you have always made the time to be present to say farewell to them all. What a guy.

That was the most touching harmonica solo ever - other worldy is right!
A Babs completely agree. That solo was magnificent, other-worldly
Sotrue
Out of all the tributes to this great lady, stevie's harmonica playing conveyed the most emotion to me. That's the magic of music, it has life and soul just like ms franklin did. God bless you, wherever you are xx
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.
Oh Stevie don't you go no where, please!!
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
I want my Stevie Wonder biopic while he's living. He's one of our greats too and so blessed is he.
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! 👇🏾

The Queen had a great send off. Such a sincere message and song from Stevie Wonder too.
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!!
Stevie - another icon who can never be replaced. Other worldly talent!
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
Can I just say that Stevie looks amazing! I pray he stays with us for a long time
Such a huge loss, can't believe the Queen has moved on.
And Stevie....what a treasure.
So much love in that harmonica solo...God bless Stevie❤️
Stevie Wonder is such a musical genius. His music crosses all borders and all genres. What a beautiful home going for the Queen of Soul Miss Aretha Franklin. May she fly with the Angels!!
WOW Stevie Wonder played that harmonica with a great anointing. it was powerful and beautiful.
No more suffering and no more pain...Rest on Queen Aretha you will be missed and never forgotten...fly high Queen
Stevie, you made Aretha so proud. From One Icon To Another my Brother. Just know The “QUEEN “ will also be loving you “ALWAYS “.
Jenifer Lewis brought me here…. She didn’t know the lyrics but was happy to be invited up to sing all she can sing was ALWAYS!!!
Omg! Stevie didn't have to give us this song! I'm crying like a baby!! Don't hurt em Stevie!! Stevie Wonderful foreva!!! I'll be lovin you always!!!!!😍😘
Ok all the icons are passing one by one. We need to bubble wrap Stevie, Smokie and the rest of them. Leaving too soon.
Amen
We definitely need to wrap them in something...!
You couldnt have said that any better!
Amen
I never seen anyone play the harmonia like Stevie Wonder.
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.
I think when Stevie passes away no celebrity death will hit me harder...sorry but just throwing that out there
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.

Add some patti labelle
So anointed playing the harmonica too 🙌🙌🙌
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 watched him talk bout loss and losing her on one of the news channels and how his voice broke hurt my heart to its core. A strong man right there, God made him strong. I love his harmonica playing, unlike anyone else i have ever heard before. This man is so talented musically it amazes me. Prayers to him and everyone else.
The Lord's Prayer solo was spectacular. Stevie is wonderful. No pun intended. Thanks Stevie for always showing love to your true friends.
Stevie Wonder still got them pipes. Awesome tribute to the Queen of Soul.
An angelic splenid harmonia spirited " The Is My Story" and " The Lord's Prayer" renditions. What a maverick instrumentalist, vocalist, and humanitarian....icon indomitable Mr. Stevie Wonder.
He channels pure love through his music. Thanks, I did not know what song (s) he was playing on the harmonica.

No one knows the power of Love like those that give love. Rest well Aretha Franklin you have finished your course!
That. Was Phenomenal. Words well said, favorite song sang. THAT'S how you do a tribute 👍🏽👍🏽
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
We just buried a part of history in music! #SIP #ArethaFranklin 🙏🏽
You ain't lying
She lives on with her music.
Ashley Tremaine Davis true that John Landis brought out her acting skills love her movie debut in The Blue Brothers 1980
Stevie Wonder musical genius magnificent performance what a sincere tribute to our queen of soul he is so sincere and compassion you could just feel the LOVE Echoing all over the place. Thank you Mr Stevie Wonder for blessing us with that magnificent and loving performance. Rest in peace Queen of Soul, thank you for all the stories you have shared with us in your songs ,your music will live in our hearts forever.
Stevie is an angel on this earth with that harp
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! 😊
Beautiful RIP Areatha Franklin the Queen of Soul
Honest to God I love this man so much! I pray that I could meet him or go to one of his live shows one day💜💙💚
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😔
Ive admired Steveland for Years💝🖖
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!
Yes lord!!!😇 playing the heck out of that harmonica Amen⛪
Amen. The Lord's Prayer on Harmonica was life
For those thumbs down 🤷🏽♂️ You have to be in a sad place or just a bitter person to despise anything at a funeral 😢
Exactly
yea yep
We got plenty greats left, let's honor them while they yet live, give them their flowers, to feel, touch, see and feel to know. we love them still. Great, Stevie, love you.
What a phenomenal celebration. I watched most of it. Splendid.
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 !!!
What needs to happen is that "We need to make love great again" #StevieWonder 💖
Love Stevie wrote “until you come back to me “ at age 15 Wow that’s fascinating! Thanks for the correction 😍😍
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
"Little Stevie Wonder" Slayed it!
Jenifer Lewis fro is giving me life!!!
Ikr
What time?
Love's in need of love today. Send yours in right away. Amen.
His harmonic solo is simply stunning
I've never had harmonica playing bring tears to my eyes.
This is the best homegoing I have ever seen. May Aretha Franklin rest in peace. As this proves we won't ever forget you an we will forever listen to your music. You are truly a music icon an our Queen of Soul. "We cant quit until we get to the other side" Freeway of Love...
rip to both john mccain and aretha franklin may you both rest in peace you will both never be forgotten
Lovely comment.
@@Unknown1rx 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
Stevie wonder in the house
He's still got that voice...
stevie is a real musician.. very few can even play the harmonica let alone play it like stevie just did. he is at home on a piano. aw man this was lit homegoing😫🔥
Stevland Hardaway Morris wasn’t born blind but through his disability he has brought so many together and we thank him for his musical talent and allowing us to share his gift. I thank him for not giving up when tragedy struck him at a young age and for having the courage to go on. You have been blessed
Saw Stevie in Charlotte, NC in Fall 1974. Amazing concert. This was a beautiful ending to the Queen’s funeral.
Stevie Wonder what a Beautiful Soul such Love his send off to The Queen of SOUL ❤️❤️❤️✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💔💔💔
How can you not love him💙💙💙💙 his voice his spirit the love he has for people!!!!
I was cracking up over the comments about the ladies until they came in ,they like your favorite drunk auntie who still have clubbing in them . I will call them the Extra Auntie crew
LOL
The Legendary Stevie Wonder...
Steve Wonder is Brilliance
Jennifer Lewis up there living her best life
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
Blessings, love, hugs and so much respect to you Mr. Stevie Wonder always! 😍
Absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful Stevie Ms Aretha is proud great job ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow that harmonica is a thousand angels singing ..... AMAZING
I love some of his songs and now the smoothness when he speaks, I can't even think of waking up with the news he has passed.
Stevie preached better than all of those preachers put together.he made sense the others didnt.hes more real n sincere than others
Stevie WONDER is the perfect name for him. He's truly a wonder. Love him forever
This generations knows nothing about the harmonica ...........he played this from his soul
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!!
God bless everyone whom contributed to Aretha Franklins services. She would have been so proud!
Lady Soul, Thank U... Aretha U will always bring out the best in Soul Music: )

We. Miss. You. Aretha. Love. You. All way. Lady. Soul. Love. Ethel
Makes me think about honoring our living ledgends while they are still with us. R.I.P. Aretha Franklin and God bless Stevie Wonder true American Ledgends💯
Stevie Wonders performance brought tears to my eyes, that harmonica sound is incredible. Along with the choice of songs, a great send off for the Queen.
Just the best Stevie always lot's of love.
safe at third *lots
Indeed.
That was truly wonderful and blessed for Stevie Wonder to sing that song for Aretha's funeral service. It gave me goosebumps!
God love you Stevie! Wow! Beautiful rendition!! Rest In Paradise Queen Of Soul!!
One of the best performances out of the whole funeral. Truly a man of soul to pay tribute to the woman of soul
It doesn't get better than this. God love Ms. Franklin, and Mr. Wonder. 🙏
Aretha, I'll be loving you always. RIP. Thank you Stevie.
Beautiful tribute Rip Aretha Franklin
Steve Wonder can do it all,What a blessing God will always have him in his arms ❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
Damn! That performance was so good and blessed my ears Stevie Wonder never fails to impress!🙌 A legend singing for a legend! Stevie wonder did a tremendously great job omg love this so much💞💞
This was a truly amazing tribute. Unparalleled harmonica in the Lord's Prayer was an incredible way to honor Aretha Franklin's tremendous influence.
Go Stevie!!! Thats right! Stevie is another legend!!! I feel my position is more like Stevie Wonder , Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, and Make America Love Again. Unfortunately, some others need to learn from this.
Yes "Let's make America love again."
Oh, man, Sir Stevie,...if I can say that, and I just did. Love, light, and grace.
I love Stevie. He's the greatest musician alive and my favorite musician ever....but I dieeeed when they passed Jennifer Lewis that dern mic. These ladies came in and took over.
Stevie Wonder! Fantastic. He did not need help from the ladies. Just him and the choir would have been perfect!
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!
As old as he is , he can still sang !!! There’s a reason why he is one of my favorite singers of all time
One of my most favorite stevie songs from way back in high school .I'm crying on this keyboard .Thank you Aretha !! thank you Stevie !!
