You betta' say dat Diane Sawyer! From 5:44-5:53 she says, "When they stood up, they were standing up in some truth. They were standing up like monuments" Phew! Just amazing.
It is an important moment in "History!" as well. These women "Changed the World!" In every county "somebody" know who Tina Turner is or Diana Ross... etc. 💖
Wonderful comment. I truly believe this is one of the greatest things Oprah has done. No matter how many times I watch this it still makes me cry buckets because I feel the love and importance of that moment and what each woman there means to everyone. I can just imagine how incredible it must have been to have actually been standing in that room at that moment. I would have used up a few rolls of tissue paper. Lol 😅😅😅😅😅😅. I just love this Oprah special. She out did herself here.❤
5:20 when Dionne Warwick broke down in tears 😢 she was kinda straight faced thru most of the time. Dionne warwick is one of the most under appreciated legend, people rarely even include her when stating legendary singers. Common Kennedy center honors!
OPRAH SHOULD RELEASE THIS ON DVD 📀 I WOULD BUY IT FOR SURE . I AM SO HAPPY THAT SHE DID THIS FOR ALL OF THESE GORGEOUS BLACK WOMEN. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so crying right now; my mother is not a legend and she is not famous but she is so deserving of such an honor. I thank God for her vibrant spirit even in her 80s. I imagine her sitting in that audience because she deserves to be honored for all the love she has given and shown to me and my three sisters, her selfless sacrifices through the years, her unending support and the many trials and hardships that she has endured through the years and her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, sustainer of us all. We are blessed to have a mother so beautiful in mind, body and spirit. "And her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren shall call her blessed". We speak your name...Olive (mom and matriarch of our family). We love you!
Thank you for this. I stand and agree with you in honoring your mother, Olive. My mom, Brenda, is also a legend. I, too, speak her name. GREAT will be her reward in Glory. HALLELUJAH to King Jesus as her Savior, Redeemer and LORD! My Lord, Father - what a gift You have given us in my mother. I am so so grateful. Amen 🌸🌹
The poetry of Angela Bassett. She really has a way with words. I kept watching her little clip over and over. I saw the person she was talking to and the different roles that she spoke of (singer, actress, dancer). The dream.
Watching this on the day Maya Angelou passed. Crying and smiling all at once. Thank you for posting this. I love these women. RIP Maya, I love your spirit.
She gave those ledgendery women their flowers while they were alive. God Bless her. This was really a beautiful show of love,affection and appreciation.
@@joshuamcdowell9745 The next Legends Ball should be for Oprah. Who, anyone with the type of money and influence and power and status today, could host it? Is there anyone even on their way there 😂?
Coretta Scott-King was ALWAYS gorgeous in my eyes. Phylicia Rashad as well. This was a wonderful event Oprah had. All of these GIANTS are so deserving! It brings tears to my eyes, even all these years later.
I feel the same way. God only knows how many times I've watched it and I still cry every time. Like Dr Maya Angelo's said there is nothing better than hearing someone say Thank You!!! ❤
how am i so stupid that this is the first time i've ever seen nor heard of this event with so many Goddesses getting what they deserve. love each and everyone of you ladies, thank you for so much entertainment and memories of soul and strength.
Legends such as Leotyne Price and Dr. Dorothy Height should have received more attention. They are in their own lanes.They deserved their own awards ceremony. Ms Price stood up like a general. Much respect to her.
then give them that special ceremony, this is not about divisiveness but togetherness. My my, my, why do we always have to bring some kind of division. If she did a special for them then one gets to think about, oh I don't know, let say, Cissly, Rosa, Maya, Cloretta, Ruby etc etc etc, you get my drift..
From one perspective to another… so many lives touched. From Mary J saying Gladys saved her life just from her music being on the radio, and that then being a good day; to Mariah feeling out of place as a child and not belonging, to now reciting the poem on stage with all the youngins. All amazing.
This was sooo important. In 1978, I was in Lord and Taylor in NY. I saw Leontyne Price and was so awestruck. I appreciate her legacy. I appreciate this presentation.
As the video goes on I see a lot of the faces of our stars that passed. And it makes me realize how special it was to have all of these people at one celebration! 🌟 👑
When Miss Leotyne Price stood up,..her lips said "My Mother",..I guess she was giving the praise to her Mother for who she became,..which is wonderful !!!
Man... I CRIED On This One! When Nancy Wilson And Della Reese Speak About How They Had To Go Thru The *Coloreds Only* Entrance.... And How Della Reese Said She There With Group That Opened Up Las Vegas... Like During The Mobster Era And Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennet n'Those Dude Were There, And How Her Group Couldn't Eat Or Sleep There!! WoW... These Women Are Our Great Grandmothers, Our Grandmothers, Our Mothers, Our Aunts, Our God Mothers, Our Sisters, Our Cousins.... These Women SHOWED US How Treat And Respect And Love Our Future Wives And Girlfriends And Female Friends As Men!! I Mean... SO MUCH VALUE THAT ARE THESE WOMEN!!! Im INCREDIBLY PROUD TO JUST VIEW THIS AMAZING TRIBUTE These Women Are Our Mother
Black Americans are the MOST inviting people in the world. They go above n beyond so that Everyone feels included and has a great time at 'the function'--PeriodT!
I’ve watched these videos so many times. It’s a great reminder of who we are and who we have the ability to become. It was not easy but they did it and so can we. Thank you Oprah.
The fact that a good number of the people present have gone on to Glory, Legends and Youngins, is so powerful. So glad that they did get their flowers whilst still among us. Rest in Power and Glory Queens🙏🏽🕊️🙏🏽🕊️
I can stop crying.. the power of the dreams, the power of the love and the power of your soul... can touch some people amazingly.... God bless everyone...!!!
Oh I know me too! I know that this is old but my god you can still fill the energy! I've been watching all of the parts for a few days. and every day it touches and motivates me!
Pearl Cleage poem is right on and just so full of wonderful drops of wisdom. I will be reading her as of next year. This poem is about the beauty of black women.
All those tears that were shed were not only for the honor they so much deserve, but for all the suffering too often endured by Black women tears of pain and suffering. it is so endearing to see them cry tears of joy and happiness for having inspired so many of us through their talents. Thank you Oprah.
WOW I am just blown away by this! I can understand why it was so emotional for everyone involved. Hell 54yo man here with a tear in my eye. It is unmeasurably moving to see all of this goodness and great women who have paved the way for so many.
@Susie , You are proud that we now have a RACIST , UNEDUCATED GRIFTER, who LIES EVERYDAY, trump SULLYING OUR WHITEHOUSE. trump is the WORST person, let alone he became president...trump is UNFIT to be Dogcatcher...he is a DISGRACE to the office of the presidency...a Russian Plant, a traitor.
This was one of the most moving shows I've ever seen on televison. I would have given just about anything to be there. Nothing else will ever come close to the greatness of Oprah's Legend's Ball.
It's 2021 and I still see this to remind me of Love of greatness. As a black woman who look at this and feel proud. I grew up with Diana Ross Cecily Tyson Chaka Khan Ruby Dee Tina Turner Patty LaBelle. Now I am old and still wish I was among them. Oh Natalie Cole was me!
Just ecstatic that this took its place in time when it did. Only God knew who and when... I feel very proud they were honored when they were. God bless you Oprah and Gayle for your marvelous work and deed.
To be a fly on that wall I would of drowned in the wave of emotions I salute all of you and thank u all for standing your grounds for us all may the lord continues to gracefully bless you all I LOVE ALL OF YOU BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS 😘
I'm a white girl ... And not even from America... New Zealand in fact so as far away as you can get across the sea. .. But I know of almost all of these Legends....they are Amazing Women who are famous Worldwide. I love Tina Turner esp, Della Reese (the swing era) amazing, n know body can out sing Patti LaBelle...Dion Warwick's sweet soft sounds...Cicely Tyson what an actress ..and Rosa Parks bravery... I love what Oprah did for them and I found it incredibly moving. I'm glad it was done whilst so many of them were alive to realise how respected n loved they are. ❤💙💜💛💚💖
Coretta King, Maya Angelou, Della Reese & Natalie Cole & Cicely Tyson, many more. Rest in Heaven & she showed them Appreciation while they were here!! She give them their flowers 💐 while they were alive. Legendary ❤️😘🥰
Looking at this again brings tears to my eyes. So many of these legends are no longer here, but I’m so glad they got their flowers while they were still here. This was so beautifully done. 💐❤
I believe in peace, love and forgiveness. This is really beautiful. I love Tina Turner, Patti Labelle , Aretha Franklin, and Diana Ross. Those five women are my favorite. My other favorites are Sandi Patty and Twilia Paris.
Shady Tyrell her billion the recognition she richer than any body she honoring .. but she on some fuck shit now trying to help them lying greedy fucks cancel Michael Jackson hell nah never he will always be the king 👑🔥👑
Omg i'm crying like a baby!!!!! This was Beautiful, I Pray and Dream about the day that I can give a HUGH thank you to the one lady who TRULY has changed my life tremendously. Phylicia Rashad is my Legend, I Love that Lady just as much as I love my own Mother!!!!! and one day I know I will be able to say Thank you just like Oprah did for all of them. This was amazing!!!!!
Omg this is so beautiful I just came across this video and in the middle I started crying all them legends it's so nice that Oprah did this Legends Ball 💗💗
Remembering some of those who were there, but have since left us - Dorothy Height, Natalie Cole, Maya Angelou, Coretta Scott King, Ruby Dee, Nick Ashford, etc.
i myself would never forget those legends. i watched them over and over , sang their songs and even performed them . How wonderful it is to see all of them at this special event. Oprah when i look at this it makes me feel like im all alone in this world. May God bless you all.
Honor is such a powerful key..... we must learn to honor all those who have come before us - not just with words and dedications, but with the way we represent their sacrifice as we stand on their foundations. We still represent them as we go about our lives and make our own ways. We must remember how they held themselves and maintained their dignity - they were teaching us to do the same.
My goodness each one of them stood up like a 12 foot monument, I’m so happy to see them receive their flowers.
You betta' say dat Diane Sawyer! From 5:44-5:53 she says, "When they stood up, they were standing up in some truth. They were standing up like monuments" Phew! Just amazing.
And she said that with so much respect and love
Mad props to Diane Sawyer for speaking all that truth for The Legends
"They were standing up like monuments"
How powerful was this statement?! I really enjoyed everything Diane Sawyer had to say.
no,it was like moutains
I felt that with the strongest intensity in my soul.
Spectacular!
is
This is a Important event in Black history. We will never forget Giving those Queens their flowers while they were still here !!!
Yes it was oprah this was very moving
It is an important moment in "History!" as well. These women "Changed the World!" In every county "somebody" know who Tina Turner is or Diana Ross... etc. 💖
Great comment!!!!

Agreed
Yes, this should be re-aired now!! Too powerful not to.
Agreed FrFr
2023 and I agree ✨💫
They should do it again
Oprah never forgets her ancestors, which is shown by her dedication to the elders. May God continue the blessing.
5:20 when Dionne Warwick broke down in tears 😢 she was kinda straight faced thru most of the time. Dionne warwick is one of the most under appreciated legend, people rarely even include her when stating legendary singers. Common Kennedy center honors!
OPRAH SHOULD RELEASE THIS ON DVD 📀 I WOULD BUY IT FOR SURE . I AM SO HAPPY THAT SHE DID THIS FOR ALL OF THESE GORGEOUS BLACK WOMEN. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love you, Tina Turner!
I could listen to Diane Sawyer, Phylicia Rashad, and Cicely Tyson narrate this entire event. Their words were spot on.
I am so crying right now; my mother is not a legend and she is not famous but she is so deserving of such an honor. I thank God for her vibrant spirit even in her 80s. I imagine her sitting in that audience because she deserves to be honored for all the love she has given and shown to me and my three sisters, her selfless sacrifices through the years, her unending support and the many trials and hardships that she has endured through the years and her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, sustainer of us all.

We speak your name...Olive (mom and matriarch of our family). We love you!
That was so Beautiful...
We speak your name "Olive"......
Thank you for such a beautiful tribute to your mom.
All moms are very special, but Black moms are truly blessed.
Wonderful tribute to your mom🙏🏾
Same thing I feel about mine. She is a Legend!!
Thank you for this. I stand and agree with you in honoring your mother, Olive. My mom, Brenda, is also a legend. I, too, speak her name. GREAT will be her reward in Glory. HALLELUJAH to King Jesus as her Savior, Redeemer and LORD! My Lord, Father - what a gift You have given us in my mother. I am so so grateful. Amen 🌸🌹
The poetry of Angela Bassett. She really has a way with words. I kept watching her little clip over and over. I saw the person she was talking to and the different roles that she spoke of (singer, actress, dancer). The dream.
Lol yes me too
greatday124 That's that Harvard education!!!! 💯
She’s a goddess
Im watching this after the passing of THEE GREAT TINA TURNER....and this gives me absolute chills
Watching this on the day Maya Angelou passed. Crying and smiling all at once. Thank you for posting this. I love these women. RIP Maya, I love your spirit.
I was just thinking! Thank god this happened while she was still alive! Thank god
@@latricecarson6056 I've always ❤ Madame Maya. Truly inspirational. Thank you to these courageous trailblazers. Love to the "young ones".
She gave those ledgendery women their flowers while they were alive. God Bless her. This was really a beautiful show of love,affection and appreciation.
Oprah should Re-air this on OWN
BoiToy08 she did earlier this year
BoiToy08 Great idea start the campaign!
Brandy Spain what was the date?
Oprah should do the Legends Ball again
@@joshuamcdowell9745 The next Legends Ball should be for Oprah. Who, anyone with the type of money and influence and power and status today, could host it? Is there anyone even on their way there 😂?
Coretta Scott-King was ALWAYS gorgeous in my eyes. Phylicia Rashad as well. This was a wonderful event Oprah had. All of these GIANTS are so deserving! It brings tears to my eyes, even all these years later.
Yes Coretta was a goddess. And my grandmother looked just like her and her name was Loretta. Amazing but true 😊❤
I feel the same way. God only knows how many times I've watched it and I still cry every time. Like Dr Maya Angelo's said there is nothing better than hearing someone say Thank You!!! ❤
We've lost so many of these legends, please re air OPRAH. IT'S 2023 don't let this moment pass us by ❤❤❤❤❤
Whitney Houston should've been there she would've taken them to church for real
how am i so stupid that this is the first time i've ever seen nor heard of this event with so many Goddesses getting what they deserve. love each and everyone of you ladies, thank you for so much entertainment and memories of soul and strength.
You're not stupid. You didn't know! Just enjoy it as many times as you like!!!
And Tina Turner was the queen among legends
WOW! If I could have just been a server or clean up person there or whatever.... I WOULD HAVE BEEN HONORED.
NuDah08 it would have been an experience.
Me too😢
You posted this five years ago and I'm sitting here tearing up thinking what an honor it would have been for me as well. OMG.
Omg yes me to it couldn't get any better then this. God was truly in that place
I feel the same way just Legendary
THANK YA'LL 4 FIGHTING 4 US - CRYING
Legends such as Leotyne Price and Dr. Dorothy Height should have received more attention. They are in their own lanes.They deserved their own awards ceremony. Ms Price stood up like a general. Much respect to her.
Hat Sheshupt they wouldn't want it any other way, just to be there with there sisters to be honoured collectively.
then give them that special ceremony, this is not about divisiveness but togetherness. My my, my, why do we always have to bring some kind of division. If she did a special for them then one gets to think about, oh I don't know, let say, Cissly, Rosa, Maya, Cloretta, Ruby etc etc etc, you get my drift..
I didn’t even know who Ms Price was until this so I thank Oprah because now I know
Our ancestors will be so proud of all these women.
If Angela did not read the good mess out of her part!!!!!!! She betta do it !
SHE DID THAT!
The truth!!!!!
With that Yale art degree come on Mrs Bassett
YEA SHE DID❤
My God this is black excellence!😢👏🏿❤️❤️❤️✊🏿

Plenty people have seen this it was on ABC years ago. It has been veiw over million of time on oprah channel. ✌🏿
It will never be like this one bro.
Black Americans are the MOST inviting people in the world.
They go above n beyond so that Everyone feels included and has a great time at 'the function'--PeriodT!
This is a tearfest! I'm just crying and carrying on. Aretha just passed away, I'm all tore up in the Villa of Color.... This is awesome!!!
❤❤ Oprah u did a wonderful job ❤️ all your guests looking to seeing forward to see another one 🙏
It is time to re air this as many of the legends are gone. 😢
"He's Coming ( Tom Cruise) but I've already done the seating"🤣🤣🤣. Gayle was wore out and fit to be tied!
I’ve watched these videos so many times. It’s a great reminder of who we are and who we have the ability to become. It was not easy but they did it and so can we. Thank you Oprah.
To watch this is 2017, Im just thinking WOW. most of the youngins are now legends. Wow I need another one of these
The fact that a good number of the people present have gone on to Glory, Legends and Youngins, is so powerful. So glad that they did get their flowers whilst still among us. Rest in Power and Glory Queens🙏🏽🕊️🙏🏽🕊️

At 5:59 when it points to John travolta crying 💀💀💀 I’m laughing so hard
What would this country be without black people. How can people blindly hate. I'm glad they got that tribute before some of them died.
Pay tribute to the billions of slaves who built ur country
i have a new outlook on OPRAH... Only GOD COULD LOVE LIKE THIS..... I'm a new fan..... I love her
Oprah has always been classic and authentic.
It's 2021 and I still see this to remind me of Love of greatness. As a black woman who look at this and feel proud. I grew up with Diana Ross Cecily Tyson Chaka Khan Ruby Dee Tina Turner Patty LaBelle. Now I am old and still wish I was among them. Oh Natalie Cole was me!
Rewatching this in 2023 & seeing all the beautiful souls that have left us is very sentimental
This was on time. We have lost about ten of them since this BEAUTIFUL BALL.
Just ecstatic that this took its place in time when it did. Only God knew who and when... I feel very proud they were honored when they were. God bless you Oprah and Gayle for your marvelous work and deed.
Now that a handful have since passed on makes these moments more cherished... How lucky for anyone legend youngin guest or hired hand!
To be a fly on that wall I would of drowned in the wave of emotions I salute all of you and thank u all for standing your grounds for us all may the lord continues to gracefully bless you all I LOVE ALL OF YOU BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS 😘

So admired by the Latinos too. You are everything we should look up to. This moment as an American born was emotional. RIP to the Black Queens.
What a Legendary moment in Time.
Looking at this again brings tears to my eyes. So many of these legends are no longer here, but I’m so glad they got their flowers while they were still here. This was so beautifully done. 💐❤
EPIC!!! No other words.....we stand on the backs of these great women!!!
I know this is old...but it still makes me cry when I see it.
priceless I can't stop crying wow legends job well done its hard to believe that some of those legends has passed away Oprah Winfrey did her thing yes

When will Oprah get her recognition? Hopefully not after she passes.
Shady Tyrell Oprah definitely needs to be honored like this...she is a beautiful soul
I'd be a part of that.
Yes Lord please!
She was. Honored when her show went off the air...
Shady Tyrell her billion the recognition she richer than any body she honoring .. but she on some fuck shit now trying to help them lying greedy fucks cancel Michael Jackson hell nah never he will always be the king 👑🔥👑
Omg i'm crying like a baby!!!!! This was Beautiful, I Pray and Dream about the day that I can give a HUGH thank you to the one lady who TRULY has changed my life tremendously. Phylicia Rashad is my Legend, I Love that Lady just as much as I love my own Mother!!!!! and one day I know I will be able to say Thank you just like Oprah did for all of them. This was amazing!!!!!
Omg this is so beautiful I just came across this video and in the middle I started crying all them legends it's so nice that Oprah did this Legends Ball 💗💗
What's so amazing about this is that "We Speak Your Name" is an African concept, I wonder did Oprah know what she did, this completely breath taking
This was amazing. So many of these people have passed away. I love that this moment still stands in their absence.
I love watching Angela Basset read her part of the poem. Shes phenomenal!
Opera singer Leontyne Price, one of the absolute greats in opera.
This was. Beautiful
This is a beautiful tribute and unique show of appreciation from Oprah Winfrey and all the women!!!.... thank you to the legends!
Living Legend Tina Turner!
Aaahhh 2020 is missing out with positive vibes 😥...I wonder when are we going to have stuff like these again on television.
Remembering some of those who were there, but have since left us - Dorothy Height, Natalie Cole, Maya Angelou, Coretta Scott King, Ruby Dee, Nick Ashford, etc.
I was thinking that and I am glad they were told how much we Love and Appreciate the paths they paved for Us and the Blue Prints the Left Us💙💙💙
Yesss Dianne Carol, Della Reese, Nancy Wilson we are losing our legends I am so glad they got their flowers and praise while they were here
Being able to say Thank You to your heroes before they go has got to be one of the greatest things a person can ever feel.
@@sistamaryclarence
Thank you* for mentioning Nancy💝Wilson in your response...and I second you too!💚*🙏
Watching this made my proud to be a black girl
Man I wish I was there. They look like they're having so much fun!

CORETTA KING IS SO GODLY N HUMBLE RIP OUR LEGENDARY/ANCESTORS 🙏🏾👏🏾😇
I Love you and Thank You
Wow it's 11/2019 can't get enough of this function. Only Oprah could have pulled it off
Honor is such a powerful key..... we must learn to honor all those who have come before us - not just with words and dedications, but with the way we represent their sacrifice as we stand on their foundations. We still represent them as we go about our lives and make our own ways. We must remember how they held themselves and maintained their dignity - they were teaching us to do the same.
