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
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.
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 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!
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!
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 🇰🇼❤
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.

I'm weak 😂😂😂😂 auntie better sing them lyrics off that fan
They probably gave her that song last minute. She really wasn't prepared but she pulled it off like an veteran
She hit that note so good they had to help Jesse Jackson get up😂
This … I still can't get over. No teleprompter -- just a FAN

Chaka Khan has aged so gracefully.. That's a joyful song, and I am sure Aretha Franklin was singing along and clapping her hands.
The end was moving... especially when she came back out. That choir/background singers slayed too!
If people can't see the beauty of the American black culture they are blind

Love that her pipes haven't deteriorated after so many decades of hitting those crazy notes. What a blessing!

only chaka khan can read lyrics from a fan and slay the shit out of a song
AND FOR THE RECORD....THAT FAN WAS GENIUS.
The one performance that gives me life!!! Watched over a 1000 times and I'll never get tired. Bless you Chaka Khan.
