      LaToya Russell I agree it started with Martin Luther King Jr , Charlie Wilson's brother Robert David ruffin Marvin Gaye Michael Jackson Prince Richard Pryor Leverts son Sammy Davis Jr Whitney Houston Kennedy honors ETC he's been through enough losing his celebrity friends but he's strong-willed for his loyal support and song dedications other than THE GAP BAND Stevie Wonder is my idol ( Charlie Wilson's influence) I'll cherish Aretha Franklin talent and watch her in debut Movie The Blues Brothers in 1980 she nailed scolding her hubby not to leave her with her sister singing background and dancing. love her in it .Dan Akroyd give his respects now looking for John Landis I'm surprised I didn't hear from George Benson I love that ballad in 1981 Love the hurt away Thanks Stevie a dedicated friend for loss of love ones God bless Aretha and family and brother From the Mighty ☁️ s of Joy .

    Luther Vandross, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince and now Aretha Franklin... Stevie Wonder is a true human artist who gave a sincere tribute to all of these artists... and all these great artists have been inspired by himself !!!!! Thank you Stevie for your generosity... i can't stop crying....

    At the same time, memorials to two very different and equally great Americans, Aretha Franklin, and John McCain. They came from different backgrounds and reflected different political parties, but the similarities go deeper than party, religious denomination, or skin color. Both were people who did care, had courage, and were true to their own better angels. They exemplified the American spirit that often seems to have disappeared from public life. We have to remember that this is who we really are. We have to remember to be, as Stevie says, love. If we live strong in faith and with love, hate cannot​ prevail.
