Stevie Wonder began his moving tribute to Aretha Franklin by playing the harmonica before singing, "As." "The reason we are here today is because of love -- because of how much we love this woman," he said. Wonder encouraged mourners to remember today's remarks and that the "greatest gift that we have been given in life itself is love." And if we love God, then we know truly it is our love that will make things matter when we make love great again. Watch:Note: The post has been updated to reflect that Stevie Wonder performed “As” at Aretha Franklin’s funeral.
