I'm in awe of the respect that the former President of the United States Bill Clinton showed for our Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin! I especially appreciate his story of being 'summoned' to Aretha's presence!
Honestly, when Bill played "Think" on his phone, I was tickled to death. I was worried that was a ringtone, but when he played that song, I realized, "Oh! That's a Tribute Song!" That song can't leave my head- I played the Blues Brothers version quite a few times, after this speech, myself, too. Well Done, Bill!
I love Bill Clinton. He always shows up when invited. I love his comfort with the Black Community; and the Black Community will show him much respect when his time come to leave this world behind. Thank you Bill for your time and dedication. RIP Aretha
Clinton's favorite song was "Don't Blame Me," I am a democrat and above the law. Democrats can do anything they want with impunity and the rest of us are supposed to lay down and die
Thank you for your kind words about The Queen and President Clinton. He acknowledged The Queen and spoke from his #heart the way a President should. Mr. Clinton shared his wonderful #memories about The Queen . God bless you. #RESPECT
I'll always love this man, he has a heart. When he came to Seattle and saw me and my daughter (6yrs old at the time) had got stuck downtown because they had stopped all buses for Clinton's arrival. He saw us standing there on the corner and rolled down his window and waved to my baby when sheet waved to him. He's human and bless him for speaking so well off this Queen even if he's high as the sky itself.😊💋💜
He may be a liar but he's also a good story teller; that's my goal here-what's yours? To remind us he's a good liar? Okay. I think Trump has got him beat by a million.
Sir Winston Lennon Such disrespect he loved & respected ARETHA praising her for Everything she accomplished adding his memories of his time with her GREAT job MR BILL CLINTON!
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother lately :)
That was really nicely done by Bill Clinton he appreciates her soul, her talent, her heart and who she was as a person. God Bless!!!! RIP Queen of Soul. Thank you for bravely and happily sharing your gift with the world!
50 years ! I've been on this planet for 50 years by Gods grace. I grew up around the corner from the church. We love C.L Franklin and we showed our appreciation. Detroit buried a Queen I've never seen this much love
The most sincere, un-canned not-phoning-it-in testimony. Bill Clinton is really good at connecting with people...and taking small anecdotes so they shine a light on character.
Clintons ruined the lives of hundreds if not thousands of Black people ( and thats just in America). but on the bright side its good to see Bill age so slow and horrible and feeble looking, no one of this level of evil deserves a quick Death. ALSO- shouts out to the Minister for keeping playa among a bunch of fakes
I love Aretha Franklin and I love Bill Clinton. I am sure Aretha Franklin would be very disappointed with all these negative comments. Please guys show some R.E S.P.E C.T.
I am amazed to see all the comments that does not pertain to Aretha....So much hate in this world..It is not about Bill Clinton, IT is about Aretha.. Some people here wont see that..GOD HELP US WE SURE NEED IT
So damn true. Media and wealthy 1% are doing great job dividing this nation. It because they are terrified of people uniting. It's crazy how they shape our perception
You dont know how it went down for you to say that! First you put laws in place, then remove the jobs and bring in the drugs. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that is the formula for destroying neighborhoods and setting folks up for criminal activity! While sheeple like you continue to blame the victim! "...they put themselves in jail..."...WAKE UP TO THE GAME!! They did it in LA with Crack and many other cities!
@@aloehawk582 There are at least 20 books out that expose the Clintons for the lying, racist scumbags that they truly are! Not my fault that you freely drank the kool aid!!
Baby Destiny - very well said, thank you! Stay open to some of the other comments below and stay abreast of your world surroundings... lots to learn about life & politics in this world and I think you're on the right track. "keep your head to the sky!" - Earth, Wind & Fire. You're a beautiful young female and a very positive person, keep it up and thanks for sharing your views!!!
That was an amazing sincere tribute to his friend. God bless you Bill Clinton. God bless her beautiful family and give them strength. RIP Beautiful Angel. God has the best soloist in his choir now.
Respect is not given but earned. Awe Bill💖💖💖 I loved his speech. I hope he is doing ok💖💖 Emotional men touch me deeply and I can tell he was struggling. His words were well put.
Marquesha Harris you done fell into the Kool aid, haven't you sis?...your boy Clinton isn't who you think he is, do some research on him sometimes...The truth will blow your mind!
X people are so mean. You have something to say disgraceful about this man who is doing such a wonderful job speaking about an icon in our culture. Do it Bill, we love you as we did Aretha. She loved you too so ignore the ignorants.
Tina Eith, yes, we have to over look , what people say now and days. Keep believing what you believe in and God will watch over you and your family, and we just have to pray for the people that are confused that we all may be able to come together like God wants😇😇
Beautiful, so many people truly loved her president Clinton is one of them. She will be missed but never forgotten her music will for live on FOR EVER ,RIP QUEEN OF SOUL..
Aretha was one of a kind her music was all ways. The best and I loved it so much as I did her I pray her family. They will miss her my prayers go out to. Children
I had the personal privilege to not only shake his hand but to accompany during a tour of a community college I had attended. He was attentive, respectful, and took our input seriously at the time. I Am VERY HONORED & PROUD to have experienced this moment in my life....BTW....I am Dine' from the 4 corners area. 😇
Oh Mr. President, you are still a great human being. Your love is my love, thank you for allowing history to be a great thing. I am happy that you loved her as much as we did. God Bless you and God Bless America.
For all of you people that just don't get it, listen to the words delivered from Reverend Al Sharpton and the song performed by Jennifer Hudson and then, start a meaningful conversation.
"She cared about broken people, she cared about people who were disappointed!": Thank you President Clinton! I know one other person who shunned any form of publicity but walked such a walk in remote Nambale village, Kenya, Africa from the 60s to the early 70s: Mama Patricia Nangulu Spurin of Burnley United Kingdom! Thanks!
I will always love Bill Clinton. A wonderful human being. So real and humble. Aretha is smiling...".Black President of USA." Hillary and Bill are an amazing couple. God Bless them! Rest in peace Aretha you are a great addition to the Angelic voices in heaven. Sing ARETHA! SING for Our LORD AND SAVIOR!
Hononary 1st Black President will always be Mr. Clinton legacy he always I feel is a lover of the entire human race he will ALWAYS be my President just like President Barack Obama 💖 Rest in Paradise Ms. Aretha Franklin 🎵
Just came from hearing Obama speak at McCains funeral, which was awesome, and now watching Clinton being at least as awesome regarding his respects for Aretha. This binds the US together...
This was an heartwarming Eulogy. President Clinton is a decent normal men like many but somehow a man cannot simply please everybody, except Monica Lewinsky. Point is, RIP My Queen Aretha Franklin, you’ll be missed wholeheartedly.
I was shocked when I heard this the first time, although it isn't so bad after more viewings. My dad is 90 and not yet this bad with speech, etc, nor is anyone I have seen or known who is around 70 and in good health. Bill was kind of like this right after heart surgery, so I wonder if something has happened. He always had a very dry mouth, even in the 90s, and perhaps it got the best of him here. He sounds very weak, too, though. RIP dear Aretha.
Love him or hate him this man is an amazing public speaker. You could listen to him for hours
Watching in 2024. And you can just see the excitement. And love President Clinton has for Aretha. It’s awesome to see. Great tribute to the queen
I'm in awe of the respect that the former President of the United States Bill Clinton showed for our Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin! I especially appreciate his story of being 'summoned' to Aretha's presence!
Honestly, when Bill played "Think" on his phone, I was tickled to death. I was worried that was a ringtone, but when he played that song, I realized, "Oh! That's a Tribute Song!" That song can't leave my head- I played the Blues Brothers version quite a few times, after this speech, myself, too. Well Done, Bill!
This was a great eulogy and I enjoyed listening to Bill Clinton speak. May Aretha Franklin rest in peace.
I'm still an Aretha groupie, she was blessed with a terrific voice!
I love Bill Clinton. He always shows up when invited. I love his comfort with the Black Community; and the Black Community will show him much respect when his time come to leave this world behind. Thank you Bill for your time and dedication. RIP Aretha
Right on.
Tell him to show up for his Black Son Danney Williams Clinton. He Needs Him to Show Up.
Why cause he lied to your community's for votes and raped a couple women
didn't he endorse/sign off on prison measures for profit and sentencing against low income/peoples of color???
He stole millions from Haiti. Not much love for the blacks if you ask me.
This was a beautiful tribute. So comforting.
When I lived in DC Clinton would have her sing at the white house a lot a whole lot. He loved her.
A E What's the difference between Trump, Bush Jr., Bush Sr., etc.?
Clinton's favorite song was "Don't Blame Me," I am a democrat and above the law. Democrats can do anything they want with impunity and the rest of us are supposed to lay down and die
Thank you for your kind words about The Queen and President Clinton. He acknowledged The Queen and spoke from his #heart the way a President should. Mr. Clinton shared his wonderful #memories about The Queen . God bless you. #RESPECT
Eagle Pass What's the difference between them and the republicans?
Eagle Pass Do you remember 911? 👀
it is clear he loved and respected her and they were friends...beautiful!

Wow I got to meet him also
Bill is a great story teller. RIP Ms. Aretha. Thank you for bringing us your music/voice.
moreofawave you meant to say “lie teller” didn’t you?
moreofawave he was extremely experienced at telling lies. Almost as experienced as b.h.o..
He may be a liar but he's also a good story teller; that's my goal here-what's yours? To remind us he's a good liar? Okay. I think Trump has got him beat by a million.
u should you tube. how she met Hillary. if you support a rapist you should be in jail too.
@moreofawave, surely this is this item is about love and paying respect. Johnx
I love Bill he's so real.
This tribute is so touching and truthful about a woman's life ....It takes a lifetime to be great!
He got paid $100,000 for thatspeech
Sir Winston Lennon Such disrespect he loved & respected ARETHA praising her for Everything she accomplished adding his memories of his time with her GREAT job MR BILL CLINTON!
Sir Winston Lennon REST IN PARADISE ARETHA
Did you see the story about Bill ogling her while singing? lol
u support rapist if u think this is ok .. shame shame shame
Thanks Aretha and former President Clinton. APPRECIATED.
When he played Freedom by Aretha Franklin I lost it God bless you Aretha
The song you heard the former President play on his phone is entitled "Think" brother, but the sentiment is thoroughly understood.
King lord, me too I cried more, can't stop happy tears are the best tears😂🤣😇😇🤗🤗
A great understanding of a great person may she rest in peace love her music
wow after all these years, he still got the charm
If nothing else Bill has the ability to charm & relate to the people.
At least he shared personal Aretha moments, it was all about her instead of Trump-bashing politics. Nice.
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother lately :)

Amazing I'm in tears, LOVE, LOVE his message, him and his family, my President 😘😘
Praying for you, enjoy your day!!😇😇
The most sincere, un-canned not-phoning-it-in testimony. Bill Clinton is really good at connecting with people...and taking small anecdotes so they shine a light on character.
Yeah, I remember Clintons connecting real well "I did not have sex with that woman." Ooops, Linda had the blue dress.
Clintons ruined the lives of hundreds if not thousands of Black people ( and thats just in America).
but on the bright side its good to see Bill age so slow and horrible and feeble looking, no one of this level of evil deserves a quick Death.

Its almost like were programmed to hate on something. RIP the queen of soul.
So damn true. Media and wealthy 1% are doing great job dividing this nation. It because they are terrified of people uniting. It's crazy how they shape our perception
Thank you for saying that.
Very True
She "summoned " a president! And he went! She is the Queen.
False!Trump did not show up.

Obama is better

Always Loved President Bill Clinton & First Lady Hillary Clinton...I remember when Aretha sung at Bill Clinton inauguration after being elected...
Bill and Hilary are libturds. No they're libshit
Take it back to Russia "Donna"...if that is your real name. You are trash.
Donna is right on! The Clintons have a hit list 100 names long. I'd like to see Hillary in a prison orange jumpsuit. Soon!
A unique, inspiring and classy eulogy.
Still a great speaker. Thanks Bill.
He is a sex offender
Beautiful, so many people truly loved her president Clinton is one of them. She will be missed but never forgotten her music will for live on FOR EVER ,RIP QUEEN OF SOUL..

He was a GREAT President. #Wouldhavevotedforhimathirdandfourthterm
What a Awesome Chance to Tell the Gospil mesage. COME ON BISHOP!! DO YOUR JOB !

Disappointed that Bill Clinton did not play the Sax at Aretha Franklin Funeral.
