I love that they dedicated the whole show to Smokey. So many talk shows rush guests on for a quick 5-minute conversation then whisk them off. We need longer interviews especially with legends like Smokey. Legend series, I'm here for it. What a treat! I ❤JHud.

[@lajuanwoodland7540]

Thank you, Jennifer

[@adriennerobinson1180]

Oh Yes, Truth Indeed

[@MARYJANESAUCEDA-gf7pr]

Definitely agree with you 100%

[@jayfriedman5404]

He is one of a handful of entertainers who deserve an entire show. JHud, does so well singing with other great artists. This duet sent chills .

[@deidrewright2543]

What a blessing and thank you. I am a vocal snob. If the artist needs strong background singers or autotune Im out!! Smokey and Jennifer shows what real true talent is. I am truly blessed to witness ❤

[@alexparker4369]

That was heavenly, thank you Smokey, thank you Jennifer for that moment 🙂

[@dtrn254]

It's still there for Smokey. Bravo. For me, he's in the rarest category. I put Smokey, Diana Ross and Berry Gordy in my top list of the GREATEST. They are it for me ❤❤❤

[@robertmiller5516]

I’m sorry I think Diana is overrated! She’s ok but she’ll never be on a Gladys,Patti,Aretha or even Whitney!

[@dtrn254]

@@robertmiller5516 Diana Ross has more pop hits than any of the women you named. Diana is the world's first black superstar. Besides, Gay men like you randomly bunching brown females together is weird.

[@stephanieJb3872]

Big big big big big big big fan of Smokey Robinson and this is one of my favorite songs to not only listen too but too sing when im feeling down from my heartbreaking. This was beautiful to see her sing with her idol ms Jennifer Hudson has come along way so this is amazing incredible.

Wow, what a combination of iconic voices to listen to in this time, that is "gasmas" right there

[@DisnerdPotterheadWeebyTrash84]

I’d give my right arm to hear him in person. Brings back memories listening to his music with my granny. She was absolutely in love with Smokey! She passed away in 94 at 46 years old and I still listen to his music on her birthday.

[@4MuchRayRay4444]

favorite song ever me and my mom used to sing it all da time rest in peace momma

[@gettheedgenow7079]

Now, this is a moment. The two of you should do a re-make. It would be a SMASH!

[@gweneetikibradley3007]

VERY BEAUTIFUL performance❤. BEAUTIFUL❤. You both lLOOK AND SOUND AMAZING ❤. Sending love with lots of hugs❤.

[@bdshafer]

It is truly my favorite Aretha moment. The voice, the soul, the emotions and pure gifts and her masterclass craftsmanship is just pure gold. I only wish we could have had a full song with both masters. Blessings Jennifer for reminding me of this moment in time.

[@loveiskind5993]

JHud usually doesn't take her voice that low, soft and smooth. Her voice range is loud, southern with gospel hints. It's nice to hear your soft range, JHud.

[@KultivateWKah]

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE RIGHT HERE

[@jennifersutton3115]

They sound great 👍❤
