rest in peace all of you
especially michael
I have to nitpick at one thing. That’s the wrong picture to use to for the Bar-Kays. All of those guys are still alive. It was the original members that died in that crash and none of them were on that picture.
BEAUTIFUL, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Don’t forget about Phyllis Hyman 1949-1995
Where the picture of Bernie Mac?? He died before Michael did
this video could be longer, as we know that the amount of stars from the black community would take a couple of hours to get through. only some music forms are shown here.
Great song, almost prophetic.
This was wonderful, but I was disappointed not to see Curtis Mayfield
This is better then great!
Outstanding!!! Thank you so much Gospel Zone. Bless you all for doing this and most of all sharing this beautiful tribute with the world. Let’s always remember our icons and the great music they gave us!!!

Very nice but it would have been great to put eveeryone name up on the screen. Thanks!
You can say what you want about Elvis. The man knew where the talent was..It was across the tracks in those little Blues joints and dives. Give him credit for at least learning what he got from these greats of soul music!
