@martyemmons86923 жыл бұрын
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.
@ninobrown54163 жыл бұрын
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🌹

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!

Raised Catholic and brought the House down like she was "Old School Southern Baptist" with Jazzy twist! Again, THIS IS CHAKA BABY! Sang mama! Over 65 and blowing better than 20 year olds.

She and Aretha were friends, and singing for a dead friend's funeral, in front of your friend's casket, trying to honor your friend and do something to lift people up, while you yourself are grieving, emotional and need lifting, is one of the toughest gigs there is. Aretha would be proud!

LOL SHE'S FAR FROM UNDERRATED. SHE HAS HITS, CRITICAL ACCLAIM, AND PLENTY OF GRAMMYS. SHE'S A BENCHMARK INFLUENTIAL VOCALIST. SOME OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT SWEAR BY HER TALENTS. IE. DIZZY GILLESPIE, PRINCE, STEVIE WONDER, AND WHITNEY HOUSTON. CHAKA IS AN ADMITTED REBEL WHO REFUSES TO PLAY THE GAME. NOT MY FAVORITE BUT UNDENIABLY AN ICON.

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
