That's why I'm watching this morning. This performance by Chaka Khan at Aretha Franklin's funeral inspires spiritual joy. After sheltering-in-place and missing Thanksgiving, Christmas and New year's Eve celebrations, I was feeling depressed. Not anymore. Now I know that I was afflicted with self-pity. Aretha is still giving me happiness and strength, God bless her.

That should be the case, but you know that is not true. I avoid funerals. Everyone is always there to look depressed and everything.

Here are the receipts that CHAKA KHAN can sing ANYTHING! Marques, this Home Going celebration was just spectacular yet sad that Ms. Franklin was not alive to see herself be honored. It would be nice if we honored our Kings and Queens while they are still with us. I mean a real good hour or two just for them not knocking the BET Honors or BET Music Awards but a show just for that one artist or group/band. Ms. Franklin will be sorely missed🌹

Of note to those who choose to be critics- her presence, although physically small engulfed the whole church. Look at the faces of those behind her, enthralled by the sheer magnitude of her delivery. As to the use of the fan, she may have been unfamiliar with the song as she was not raised Baptist but rather Catholic. As a fellow recovering Catholic, I wish we had this kind of service as part of our liturgy. Off key or not, Chaka rocked the house, what a great tribute from one Queen to another.

It was mentioned that they had to help Aunty Chaka Khan in the church, she wasn't ready to come inside. Just couldn't get herself to walk inside. She was grieving hard. So for Queen Mother Chaka Khan to even attempt to sing is a blessing in itself. Plus, she's still a legend, a great! #MissChristineChronicles

Aretha has been in all our lives for generations, her passing has touch us all, but its Chaka that moved us all with Grace and a voice that touched our souls....

It's not only that voice of hers, but herself as well. The way everyone was smiling was due to her wonderful beautiful smile. She just excudes charm and warmth. That's why everyone was so happy. She Lifted everyone's spirit to The Lord's.

Only Chaka can do an encore at a funeral. I love it. One of my favorite singers. Queen of funk had everybody on their feet. Chaka did Going Up To Yonder her way. She still can sing. Her voice hasn't change and she is in her 60's. Chaka Khan is an American treasure. Aretha's family were on their feet.

She had the BEST tribute for the night. Matter of fact, all the legends approaching 70 or in their 70’s has the absolute BEST tributes for the night. It’s not easy to bury a dear friend, and at that age they can still hold their own vocally. Couldn’t have been more proud!

It wasn't a tribute or perfoŕmance .In Gods house you sing for him so that you bring may others to know Christ .The choir made the song, Chaka seemed off , if you were dazzled by her" high notes".Google Tremaine Hawkins to hear the original.I dont care for Jennlfer Hudson she sounded best and carried herself with the correct decorum.

passion4posh that’s my OPINION. people need to LEARN to respect people’s opinions. If you feel differently, express it somewhere else hun. Chaka Khan DID that. You can tell from the congregations reaction!
