But there were WAY too many of them. Oleta's songs require stylings that are like expensive jewelry. A few pieces will accessorize tastefully, too many at one time just becomes garish and tacky.
@@kjohnsonallen5428 She really is, and I am honored as well...I Love her so much and love that she loves the Lord... she really has a great soul; besides being extremely talented. May God continue to bless Oleta Adams....God is awesome❤
Get Here should have won Oleta a Grammy. One of the best written/perfectly performed songs EVER. Her rendition of Breath of Heaven is also an American classic. Thank you so much, Ms. Oleta for sharing your gifts!
Oh Letrice brought them 2 church. The atmosphere changed drastically when she started singing. But can we talk how she rocked d hell out of her bald head. GORGEOUS
Oleta Adams' song "We Will Meet Again" helped me to overcome the death of my 36 year old brother in 2002, and I still listen to her music. Her voice is a powerhouse.
Latice Crawford is looking like an Queen!!!! Her voice is AMAZING with the rasp and her runs are like BUTTER!!! Talk about God being that holy to give her that voice!!! It’s the anointing and the worship that sets her aside from other people.
She doesn't Ned those braids. They're taking black women's hair out at the hairline. Too many are losing their hair wearing those tight braids. And it won't grow back because they pull your hair from the roots.
Oleta Adams, Yolanda Adams, Cece Winans, Whitney, and so many others (me) are just blessed with voices that can reach the soul. It comes from God to you.
Not at all... It has not fallen on def ears certainly not mine nor the many that know of Ms. Avery Sunshine and that powerhouse of a voice that she processes.
They all sounded pitchy. Ive heard her sound better. They all didn't do what Ive known them for. Latiece was the best even though she didnt give me all that I wanted or expected.
@Richard LawrenceLawrence, huh! I will have to disagree with you! Latice Crawford did an excellent job on the song "Holy is the Lamb!" Avery did a great job! I am not sure what you heard, but I heard something completely different. Now, Leela James did a horrible rendition of Oleta's song, and she is not on Oleta's level!
I have to say this i never saw a Tribute to a Legend that bad she would have deserved better...but her Speech drove me to Tears...i had the Fortune to see her twice on Stage she is a Jewel a Diamond in a otherwise cold World..Oleta you will be remembered ALWAYS!!! Shine on and Bless us wirh your Art for many Years to Come...Love you
I love that this show celebrates those who are great & who were great in music! Even BeT has stopped celebrating thr True legends of black music! Thank God for this platform!!
When people talk about Celebrities and Legends in the American music business, look no further than Oleta Adams. She only needs her voice, nothing else. When she sings, one can feel the spirit of the song in real-time anytime all the time. She's my favorite American Singer.
Leela James, she did okay, but she did not do the song any justice! Avery Sunshine, she did a great job! Latice Crawford, she sang heaven down! I felt the anointing and her love for Christ through my computer! Holy is the Lamb! 💖💜💙
Leela left me disappointed. Had the words wrong too. I'm a fan, but she dropped the ball on this one. Avery and Latrice did not disappoint. I think Avery actually held back. Lol.
Say that MUCH louder for the folk all the way in the cheap seats!!💯 Folk can get mad if they wanna, 99.9% of today's music across the board, is so deplorable it ain't even funny!!
Megan Thee Stallion comes to mind....people who who don't know others paved the way. We were never meant to be mainstream. BLACK MUSIC was brought about by struggle. Black people didn't get much honors and awards. Legends like Oletha paved the way.. sadly Nowadays singers are all about publicity stunts like practically walking naked and starting beefs over twitter. So sad!
Letrice brought joyful, beautiful tears. Leela brought tears of pure embarrassment and agony. HTF did she even GET on that stage? Oleta most certainly deserved better. A tribute to one of the most powerful voices ever given by a tone deaf amnesiac. TRIFLING.
Latice looks like she just left heaven, stopped Wakanda to get dressed, then showed up at that show to let us have it. What a beautiful rendition. You can tell Oleta was proud.
Would love to see the beautiful Oleta Adems record the lion king it would be great for her ...she is a lovely soul I met her once and she allowed me to sit in one of her interviews......so sweet she was ...love you olestra and just love your gospel album.
I have been listening to this classy. graceful being for years. If you have not heard O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL BY OLETA ADAMS, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LISTEN. OMG, her runs and the entire presentation is AWESOME. OMG
It's amazing, I was just sitting at my desk at work and the Gospel song came to me, Holy is The Lamb and there I remembered Oleta Adams. She has been singing for many years. Hopefully there are more songs.
Congrats! OMG, I missed those classic love songs, if Spotify was around when Get Here was first released I think it would be played 1millions just by me college memories..
Love you, Oleta, my home girl, who brought me through so many tearful times in my life with words that I needed to hear. Much love to you from Washington State--you will always be our number ONE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@aprilashley17 This was Apollo talent show even if that. No mic control. Cutting notes off. Too short. Too flat. Too off. Not low enough. Not high enough. Vibrato throaty...Just watching this again is just NO.
That last one took me to church and made me feel every bit. The one in the yellow made me feel get here. I sung that to the troops back when I was in the 6th grade. Love it. The first woman., God bless her!! I don't know what she was trying.
Oleta!! Winner of 2017 Black Music Honors!! Very well deserved & earned!! Just adore this woman!! 💘 i was blessed to see her perform years ago at SOPAC & so proud of her!!!!
It’s not because they’re talented. It’s because the record companies know they can use them to make money. Most people with deals are broke: spiritually AND FINANCIALLY.
My Girl!!! bout time she was recognized, although it was in 2017 that was still late for this dynamic vocalist and songwriter. Avery Sunshine should have done the whole tribute, Leela James tried but not quite, Latice Crawford totally rearranged one of my favorite Oleta songs. Congratulations two years late to my favorite artist!
So luv these black music honors, showcasing the journey of very talented ppl in music. The fact that they did great narrative expertise on the particular artists, goes to show this ceremony is a very extravagant event!..dnt like how some of dnt do their parts in singing songs exactly like the artist, yet most do amazing jobs! So laid back an refreshing it is to see music in this era! Keep it cumn for yrs to come!❤

The way the lady in the red dress stood there and sang to my heart, it brought tears to my eyes. She sang that!
And she looked so beautiful.
Letrice in the red dress so anointed she felt every word she was singing.. I enjoyed it 👍
She DID that. #SundaysBest
Thank you for telling me her name. Sweet Lord she sung that song. One of favs too.
Yes! She is Truly Blessed with an Amazing Voice and Amazing Beauty!
Veronica Daeh she was the best, the other 2 should’ve been Lalah Hathaway & India Arie🙏🏾
she is the real definition of Queen.
I don't think that people realize what a gift Mrs. Oleta Adams is to the world! It's about time!
Baaaaabyeeeee, Latice Crawford's RUNS were so swift that I had to run and grab a sweater! SANG!!!
But there were WAY too many of them. Oleta's songs require stylings that are like expensive jewelry. A few pieces will accessorize tastefully, too many at one time just becomes garish and tacky.
@@asayudwhaddameant8346 Very eloquently stated--I love that analogy. :o)
Asayud Whaddameant hmmmmm...you have no clue what you’re talking about. You’re just elegantly wrong.
Oleta Adams is well deserving of this honor. Such a humble woman. God bless her!
YES! YES! and YASSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
She is well deserving of this honor . I am honored to see her receive this award to even still be on this planet . Glory to God . Amen .🙏♥️😀

Get Here should have won Oleta a Grammy. One of the best written/perfectly performed songs EVER. Her rendition of Breath of Heaven is also an American classic. Thank you so much, Ms. Oleta for sharing your gifts!
She was nominated for best female pop vocal performance for the song
@@terrenceragin5555 Who won?
QueenofSole I can't remember I would have to Google it. The song came out in 89 so it would be the 1990 Grammy Awards
Bonnie Raitt Nick of Time won Best Female Pop Vocal Grammy over Oleta Adams Get Here
Also Oleta's rendition of Oh Come All Ye Faithful, (on youtube) is straight up alter call christmas song .. Annointed
That sister in the red dress is so beautiful. She did a great job and rocking that bald head fiercely!
Oleta Adams is drop dead beautiful on top of being a musical genius .
Oh Letrice brought them 2 church. The atmosphere changed drastically when she started singing. But can we talk how she rocked d hell out of her bald head. GORGEOUS
Yes, simply gorgeous
Letice🙂
Right!
I was sad she cut off her hair, but she's so pretty, she can rock the baldy!
She tore it up and is just gorgeous! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yesssssss
So underrated...I'm glad she finally received the recognition she deserves 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She should be a Super 🌟.It is a shame that people who really have talent don't get the credit they deserve.
That is a BLESSING. The ones that do....well just look......
Oleta Adams' song "We Will Meet Again" helped me to overcome the death of my 36 year old brother in 2002, and I still listen to her music. Her voice is a powerhouse.
Holy is the Lamb ... my favorite song she made ... glad they included it.
alot of people don't know that "Get Here" was originally recorded by Brenda Russell. THE Brenda Russell - Piano in the Dark Brenda Russell.
Didn’t know that.
Me... I'm "A lot of people". 👀
Didn't know that.
Latice Crawford is looking like an Queen!!!! Her voice is AMAZING with the rasp and her runs are like BUTTER!!! Talk about God being that holy to give her that voice!!! It’s the anointing and the worship that sets her aside from other people.

Facts
Yes Ameen☪️❣️❣️🥰
Avery Sunshine is so talented!
Her notes were flat on these songs.
They need to take the auto tune off those mics
We love Oleta! Her voice is like butter. I love all her songs and she is forever a beautiful legendary queen ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember Anita Baker said check out Oleta and ever since she been on my play list. Such a beautiful voice.
100% BLACK WOMAN!! 😍😍
Absolutely! Well said!
Avery stroked them keys 😍
She did!!!
Yaaaassssssss 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯
Oleta Adams, Yolanda Adams, Cece Winans, Whitney, and so many others (me) are just blessed with voices that can reach the soul. It comes from God to you.
Oleta smile is so beautiful. I love and respect her and her music.😊
I’m listening, Oleta. Still. Your music has gotten me through so much. Many blessings to you from Kansas City.
Thanks to the lady in the red for saving the day Jesus!!!!!!
And you know it!
OK. I'm just seeing this for the first time. The first 2 singers didn't do it for me.
Agreed. They were _________...
Oleta has a beautiful spirit!
Loved her speech
Oh yes the legendary Oleta Adams, well deserved award ✊🏾 ✊🏾
Latice Crawford is EVERYTHING!!!!! 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Latrice Crawford..Vanessa Bell Armstronged us!!
Yes she did!!!!!
YAAAEEESSSZZZ!
John Coleman beyond a doubt she did!!!
Sounded more like Kim Burrell to me, but then Kim sounds like Vanessa and Dorinda at times too.
HA! WHAT CHU SAAEE!!
Oleta is very gracious and beautiful talented woman. Happy she was honored.
So we going to ignore the fact that Avery played the mess of that piano while covering that song so elegantly?!?
I really appreciated Avery sitting at that piano and playing and signing so damn well. Nice job!!
😂😂😂😂😂 no ....yup you rite
Not at all... It has not fallen on def ears certainly not mine nor the many that know of Ms. Avery Sunshine and that powerhouse of a voice that she processes.
She did that gracefully and held back
They all sounded pitchy. Ive heard her sound better. They all didn't do what Ive known them for. Latiece was the best even though she didnt give me all that I wanted or expected.
If anyone is a fan of Avery like me, then you’d know she held back and kept it classy for Oleta💯
Shammond Dawson oh yes held back showing such grace and respect!! Love Avery Sunshine!!!!
Timothy McNeill yessir💯

Holy is the lamb. That’s all I got to say.👏🏽
Latice Crawford is a whole weapon
That acceptance speech was so from the heart and honest.
I have to say this i never saw a Tribute to a Legend that bad she would have deserved better...but her Speech drove me to Tears...i had the Fortune to see her twice on Stage she is a Jewel a Diamond in a otherwise cold World..Oleta you will be remembered ALWAYS!!! Shine on and Bless us wirh your Art for many Years to Come...Love you
I agree with you, the singing wasn't very good.
Oleta Adams deserves every bit of acknowledgement she gets for her gift and her use of it. To God be the glory.
The disapproving aunties behind Oleta Adams when Lela was singing. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Totally agree didn’t even see the Aunties 😂😂😂 one of our greats Queen Oleta deserved better.
Well deserved Mrs. Adams. Congratulations 🎉 on the 2017 black honors award.
My God; Oleta Adams is a masterclass in grace , humility and CLASS....I am shooketh
Yess!!
You save the best for last for a reason. Latice my god girl smh!!💯👌🏾❤
Latice Crawford had me filled in my heart and deep parts of my soul.!!
Lady in the red dress! KILLED! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💃🏿

And looked good doing it👍
Love Me Some Oleta Adams, Love Her Voice All Were Good But Letrice Crawford Just Great!!!!!
Latice has really developed into a uber great singer...and she done picked up weight since her stint on Sunday's Best..#She killdt the tribute!
I love that this show celebrates those who are great & who were great in music! Even BeT has stopped celebrating thr True legends of black music! Thank God for this platform!!
Oleta doesn't age! Respect!
My girl Lattice still fire!!!
When people talk about Celebrities and Legends in the American music business, look no further than Oleta Adams. She only needs her voice, nothing else. When she sings, one can feel the spirit of the song in real-time anytime all the time. She's my favorite American Singer.
I just love Latice Smoky Raspy voice❤❤

Leela left me disappointed. Had the words wrong too. I'm a fan, but she dropped the ball on this one. Avery and Latrice did not disappoint. I think Avery actually held back. Lol.
Poor Leela...😔😆
Yeah, I don't know what Leela was doing 😂
@@evelynwashere13 I agree!
Oleta is so classy - sad to see where black music has fallen to
Say that MUCH louder for the folk all the way in the cheap seats!!💯 Folk can get mad if they wanna, 99.9% of today's music across the board, is so deplorable it ain't even funny!!

Leela clearly missed the sound check.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Right!!! LOL!!!!
Although Avery may have made soundcheck, her vocals were not the best that day. She, however, played the piano excellently.
I was like Leela Noooooooo not to my Oleta!
Shawn Humphries what happened with this? It seemed like a great idea!
Avery Sunshine sang that song get here and play the hell out of that piano. She did Oleta Adams very proud
She certainly did.
Letrice brought joyful, beautiful tears. Leela brought tears of pure embarrassment and agony. HTF did she even GET on that stage? Oleta most certainly deserved better. A tribute to one of the most powerful voices ever given by a tone deaf amnesiac. TRIFLING.
Leela was truly horrible 😭😭😭😭
I LOVE YOU OLETA !!!!!
Such a beautiful, elegant and graceful woman!!!
Black Girrrrrlllls Surely Rock Beautiful and Talent for light years 🖤
So much talent on one stage
Ms. Adams is legendary as a vocalist and pianist. I don't know of anyone better. That generation of vocalists are classic.
This Queen would make the Perfect Nina Simone on big screen. Hollywood take note.
Isiaih Davis but instead they used that Zoe lady. Such a disgrace...she had so much makeup on🤦🏾♀️
Oh yeah, that would be great!
You better say that!!!! I’ve watched this repeatedly and seeing your comment... my eyes saw it!!!
,""Get Here",' has always been such a beautiful song!! Brings me to tears everytime!!! Just love this song!! 💘
I'm just discovering this. Wow!!
Me too. I guess because I watched the honors for Freddie jackson, youtube recommended this one to me
Rachelle Ferrell would have kilt it !
However... she kilts every song she wants to sang.
And lalah too
That’s who I thought it was for a quick moment before I really saw her face and heard her sing maybe next time
Yesssssss
Rachelle and Keke Wyatt
Oleta Adam's is a legend in the game. She's so deserving of this award n tribute
I love Oleta Adams. The song she did on How stella got her groove back was never released nor on the soundtrack. I can listen to her all day.
Never knew what was the name. Anybody?
@@reneera4077 love never forgets - I think you can still look it up here on RUclips and there’s a vid of both parts of the song as played on the movie
Yes, Avery! She is so phenomenal & the young lady in the red. Yes sir!
Oleta is always so poised! She deserves every accolade!
Latice looks like she just left heaven, stopped Wakanda to get dressed, then showed up at that show to let us have it. What a beautiful rendition. You can tell Oleta was proud.
Thank heaven for Latrice Crawford who laid it down and brought the anointing and gift of music.
Would love to see the beautiful Oleta Adems record the lion king it would be great for her ...she is a lovely soul I met her once and she allowed me to sit in one of her interviews......so sweet she was ...love you olestra and just love your gospel album.

I Love this Sister ... A moment of recognition that she so deserves.
I can go on and on naming all of the wonderful songs that MS ADAMS have written and sang. SHE IS AWESOME AND I LOVE HER..THE GOAT
I swear I dont know how Leelah James made it. This was tragic.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She usually does a good job
And she was moving and smiling like she was tearing it up 😂😂😂
For real. That was terrible.
@@aprilashley17 This was Apollo talent show even if that. No mic control. Cutting notes off. Too short. Too flat. Too off. Not low enough. Not high enough. Vibrato throaty...Just watching this again is just NO.

Oleta Adams, one of my favorite singers. Glad she was honored.

SAAAAAAAANG LATICE!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I've been a fan since Sunday Best! And an Oleta Adams fan since childhood!
Avery did A+ amazing! To sit and play the piano and not miss a beat vocally is phenomenal. I haven't seen much of that since Aretha Franklin.
Issa no.... leela James
Christa Jackson I was unfortunately thinking the same thing 🤦🏽♀️☹️
Right.
Issa HELL no.
I was like 🤔 is it my ears or Na
Christa I'm sitting at my desk dying laughing at your comment!! It's not just a no, ISSA HELL NAW!!
All I can say Latrice Crawford omg
She saved the day, didn't she???
Evelynwashere 1 yes she did because that tribute was a train wreck
NICE TRIBUTE TO A WONDERFUL SINGER AND WONDERFUL PERFORMER 🤗🤗 OLETA ADAMS 👍👍
Bount time somebody recognized this woman
Latice Crawford has the clarity and agility of Karen Clark-Sheard, the riffs and runs of Kim Burrell, and the rich raspiness of Jazmine Sullivan. 👌👌👌
OLETA IS SO DESERVING OF THIS HONOR. ONE OF THE GREAT VOICES..MS CRAWFORD DID THAT.
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL OLETA ADAMS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️🖤💚
Oleta Adams is beautiful, gracious and blessed.
It's amazing how some people get a record deal...
It’s not because they’re talented. It’s because the record companies know they can use them to make money. Most people with deals are broke: spiritually AND FINANCIALLY.
Olta never compromised her principles or standards. Class act
My Girl!!! bout time she was recognized, although it was in 2017 that was still late for this dynamic vocalist and songwriter.
