Stevie Wonder at Luther Vandross' funeral

[tmosho1]

No matter what I've been through in this life, all in all, it's been very good. Thank you Lord.

[sfm1967]

i wish i was with them singing and saying thank you god

[sfm1967]

the people in this church inspire me i wish i was there where is this ?

[TheCello2007]

when my heart is in pain...i always listen to this song......it reminds me that there is always light throughout darkness.... thank you so for that....keeps me going on when everything seems to be so bad....it s so hopeful.so i just won t complain....

[MexicanDrummerboi24]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[NALEDI869]

Yes! Luv it : )

[tmosho1]

What a truly beautiful song. Whatever we have ALL been through--- God, Destiny, the "Fates"---whatever name you attribute to it-------our personal life's course (and HOW we have chosen to respond to it) is truly the essence of what we call "our lives". Not the events that have happened, but rather, how we have chosen (or not chosen) to appreciate our wonderful existence on this planet for the brief period that we have been blessed to inhabit this earth. Stevie Wonder "gets it" and always has.

SW a vocalist in a class that is not open to 99.99999 of pros.

[Messylin]

Luther's songs have been called the soundtrack for lovers - the tragedy of his life is that he never had a boyfriend of his own. Someone that talented did not deserve to stay on the sidelines and watch the lovers go by. My heart aches that Luther felt he could not come out as a gay man because he deserved love like anybody else. I'm so sorry about everything, Luther. God bless.

[colturn12]

I'm crying tears of happines, sadness & Pain....RIP Luther, God Bless you Stevie.

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

It is so hard to sing when you are fighting back tears....i sing at many funerals and some are more sad then others......i have to try and deliver the song but it's not easy. It's magnified if the dead person was somebody you were close to.

[dhonuill]

A true SUPERPOWER of music! I am grateful for such a talent to be around during my lifetime.

[toshay35]

this man got me crying!!! POWERFUL!!!!

[danw1374]

....král vzdal poctu královi! ostatné slová sú už zbytočné...

[freedom2beeee]

So yes, 85 people didn't like it.....why do you have to call them haters? Show some tolerance guys...it breaks my heart to see that the real haters might in fact be among the 2 million+ viewers...

[luckerkd]

and yes ... I hate to admit it ... but I cried during this song. If you don't understand it..."just keep on livin'" as my grandmother says.

[luckerkd]

suffering is a great teacher...ask Job....he didn't complain...

[CostumeKid]

Please watch this whole video. An American treasure.

Thank you Luther. Thank you Stevie

[sofea978]

Impossible Dream

[charlotte9436]

We miss you Luther.

[sweetnessnbk]

@charlotte9436 Yes, YES WE DO!!!! We miss Luthers style and ambiance. He was truly an icon.

[stoklund]

I've had some good days I've had some hills to climb I've had some weary days And so many lonely sleepless nights But when Iiiiiiiiiiii look around I startet thinking things over All of my good days Out-weigh my bad days Iiiii won't complain Sooooooooooooowowowowowome-tim­es the clouds are low I can hardly see the road/room? I ask a question, Lord Lord, why so much pain? But god he knows what's best for me Although my weary eyes They can't see So I'll just say thank you Lord I won't complain

[beekay44]

Too deep to even comment on!

[CostumeKid]

@beekay44 Yes, words are useless...

[tartansoxdundas]

If anyone deserved to sing at Luther's funeral, it was Stevie!

My eternal thanks to Luther Vandross for giving me the belief that I could sing 'Impossible Dream' - a song I battled with for months at karaoke, before eventually finding it.

[amobsternamehere]

85 people are hatin for no damn reason, jus bein a hater.

[SpotOnMusic1]

I see 84 people seriously need professional help....

These 4.47 minutes should be mandatory material at all schools and conservatory's

[Jez2008UK]

@SpotOnMusic1

I played this to my 7 year old son with him sitting on my lap !

That's the homework I give him - hence why he loves hearing his Daddy say "Son, your homework for today......"

Stevie, Luther (I cried when I heard Luther had passed) and all the other creatives, they are our teachers, our messengers, our brothers (by that I mean we are all connected, all one, all brothers and sisters etc).

[honeypie5837]

Miss You, May you Rest In Peace

[ydoggbdoggbigG2]

[Terrail18]

Rest In Peace Luther Vandross.

[msrhonda381]

[godfreyhiggs]

I have listened to this song really about a hundred times literally the vocal dynamics of Stevie Wonder is unmatched by ANYONE young or old I'm talking male singers Anyone care to differ ? just on the range of octaves Stevie reaches the ofset / onset rhymatic changes he does Absolutely mind blowing !!!!

[dhowell888]

@godfreyhiggs No doubt about it. And this is at a point in his his life when he has aged and his voice isn't as strong as it used to be. And he still brings it like that.

[Funkredible]

@godfreyhiggs i wholeheartedly agree on that one!! but no surprises cuz he is a genius musician.

[godfreyhiggs]

I have listened to this song really about a hundred times literally the vocal dynamics of Stevie Wonder is unmatched by ANYONE young or old I'm talking male singers Anyone care to differ ? just on the range of octaves Stevie reaches the ofset / onset rhymic changes he does Absolutely mind blowing !!!!

[SedanChair]

3:50 If you weren't in church before, you are sure going to church now

[the44below]

Stevie's voice is perfection

[yotti82]

I love 1:40 :-)

Luther forever!!

[des8472]

82 KKK members dislike this video

[unachakachica]

@des8472 i know thats right baby! Stevie has his own gift and maybe its not quite as healing as Luther's was, he had some spirit back in the day too! I love em both : )

[brandeeee100]

[1BABYDOLLONLY]

[openarms777]

sannng stevie yes Lord

[btaylor9embarqmail]

God and Luther where present in that room during the event. Stevie is and has always been filled with the HOLY SPIRIT.

[2sikkle]

R.I.P THE KING !!! I GREW UP TO YOUR MUSIC AND IM ONLY 17

[foxydre1]

RIP luther vandroos even though i wasn't alive when died I learned his music from my parents so i love all of his music

[1337ube3]

Not to ruin the mood or anything...But did he just say, "When I look around"?

[EmperorXaozx]

@1337ube3 Yep

[seymaSPN]

@1337ube3 he sees much more than YOU.Believe me.

[1337ube3]

@seymaSPN That is physically impossible, fool.

[seymaSPN]

@1337ube3 i wasn't talking about physic, i was talking about much more complicated things that you will never understand apparently.So,stop being rude, and accept the reality :)

[1337ube3]

@seymaSPN You weren't talking about physically*, and from that, I can guess you were probably talking about some sort of spirituality-type shit.

[seymaSPN]

@1337ube3 sorry for the wrong spelling.And yes I was.

[themrduragss]

@seymaSPN

oh yes he does praise the lord

[glslayer]

@1337ube3 You're fucking bad bro LOL. You fucking kill me hahahaha

[iralevifan]

@1337ube3 - lol..why u being funny?

[okdenny]

@1337ube3 Music is the great manipulator of all senses. It can make you see, hear, touch, taste and smell things that are not there. It can change your mood faster than anything in this world. If you do not see this, then it is you who are blind. Or........you just want to be funny and immature.

[1337ube3]

@okdenny It was the latter of the two, don't even mind me.

[Dancer810]

@okdenny Sooooo well put! Music is an amazing thing that accomplishes everything you mentioned...and more! Amen!

[Jez2008UK]

@okdenny

God communicates to us through everything.

If people do not 'see' this through this music, they should not be judged.

They will see God in other ways, other music, art, film, poetry, literature or possibly sport !

Music, from the heart, for me though works everytime.

[ChugbeeAntFodderis]

lol only black people in the crowd

[TheSimplyTam]

@ChugbeeAntFodderis  If you would look closer you will see people of all races just like God wants it to be.

[MrsD7777]

AMEN!!! OMG!!!!!!!!! STEVIE WHY DID YOU MAKE ME CRY???????? SO ANOINTED, POWERFUL & BLESSED!

RIP LUTHER VANDROSS!

[dhowell888]

@MrsD7777 "Thumbs up" a thousand times! :) Stevie is my favorite of all time, and I don't know if he is indeed a CHRISTian, but the Spirit of God was definitely upon him at this moment. People were hurting and needed a blessing. God gave them courage and hope through the voice of Stevie Wonder.

[MrDesanakeievaaij]

There are no words to express how awesome this singing is! R.I.P Luther Vandross.

[sassymojo282]

R.I.P. Mr. Vandross, I miss you dearly.

[TheElizabeth016]

First time listener and this almost made me cry...sings from the heart

[dgfuck777]

T-Pain 25 years from now, but not far asgood as Stevie

[mjdrummer9]

82 persons has no soul!!!

[greenday7891]

I do feel sorry for Stevie Wonder, he's been to more funerals than the Pope. Do love him though

[Jez2008UK]

@greenday7891

Why feel sorry for him ?? Doesn't that show that he's a) very popular and b) had a lot of friends ??

Don't you expect to die one day then ?

[greenday7891]

@Jez2008UK

It was a joke you self richeous prick. Stop trying to prove yourself as deep and respectful by using comments on Youtube, and annoying people like me. I understand that you probably like Stevie Wonder, but if you could keep to yourself and not annoy me again for a bullshit reason, that'd be fantastic.

[Jez2008UK]

@greenday7891

Oh dear, an annoyed person easily annoyed. How sad, never mind......

[TheJimmyj92]

idc what anybody say..aint no voice like Stevie's..(tears in my eyes)

[rosieprospects]

Gosh, that's why they call it "Soul Music" Thank You Lord!!! Gratitude is the answer! Man, that piano! These guys are angels on earth. DramaBiatch, we all have to die unfortunately.no one said it was easy!

[SkyeColes]

because of this voice, stevie wonder will live forever.

[cenalover386]

if anything happens to another amamzing singer im putting away my headphones and closing down my youtube account for good!! cause this is to much

[mantaishere]

Agree with recent musings about the pianist.  Been watching this video for two years, and am mouth agape every time. Pianist is INCREDIBLE. Does ANYBODY know who it is?

[EddieRamon]

every time i feel like my life sucks i listen to this song and realize life is worth living. RIP LUTHER! one of the greatest!

[dxarmy94]

Why doesn't this happen at white people funerals?!?!?

[katherossy]

@dxarmy94 coz white people aint got the soul

[dxarmy94]

@katherossy I guess so. :(

[katherossy]

@dxarmy94 :(

*hugz*

[maxpleckabc]

@katherossy how can you say that?

[emmanuel77000]

@katherossy Soul don't care about the skin color...;)

[lovejazz42]

WE all know how great Stevie is, but by all means, who is this great piano player man?! Do you hear those chords he is using?!!!

[bjazz11]

amazing

[diogolmferreira]

The guys who hit the dislike button are a bunch of morons.

Honestly, who can not like this?

[somethingorotherism]

Easily the 20th time i've watched this video. never gets old. and i absolutely love stevie. but you know who isn't getting anywhere near enough credit for the beauty of this song? that pianist! holy shit he's good.

[MannyG90]

What the name of the song?

[desfreissined]

@MannyG90 The name of this song is "I Won't Complain"

[tubefreak924]

@MannyG90  I WONT COMPLAIN IS THE NAME OF THE SONG!!!!!!

[tinyman12323]

How old is stevie right now?

[shydmples]

@tinyman12323 will be 61 on 5/13

[Yungrobt]

beautiful tribute Stevie, the right man the right song..the threat to no more soul music should be motivation to the great vocalist of today.

[starter7771]

No one will ever forget you Mr. Vandross.......

[dbakerone]

you will NEVER be forgotten Mr. Vandross your music will touch the lives of many forever rest in peace my freind

[Celiomusicbrasil]

God bless you Luther! Your music lives forever!

[cutemjrakizta]

@Celiomusicbrasil yes! it will always be!

[GodivaKitty]

Mr. Vandross was up there smiling at this moment knowing and feeling that he will be loved FOREVER.

[glaster57]

There are Singers out there that are returning to giving great music such as: El Debarge, Freddie Jackson, Phil Perry, Will Downing, Maxwell the list goes on, however we will miss the talent from Lady T, Issac Hayes, etc.

[natalieoliver1]

The is the product that Berry Gordy, put forth, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Supreme's, Wouldn't that be enough? Well theres is a lot more..It's Temptations The Cheryl's and on and on, there's not enough room to write it all down ! Thanks to Mr. Gordy, the world heard some of the "Greatest Talent" the world has ever seen.
