As Vandross’ gold coffin sat at
the foot of the altar, LaBelle read a
poem written by the R&B icon’s
mother, Mary Ida, who was seated
in the front row. Vandross’ other
family members, nine nieces and
their 11 children, filled in the seats
around the family matriarch to re
member the man known to them as
“Uncle Ronnie.”
Cissy Houston performed the
gospel standard “Deep River,”
while Wonder left the crowd breath
less with his version of the gospel
song “I W on’t Complain.”
But it was Franklin, brushing
aside a slight sore throat, who sent
choir and clergy dancing on the
altar with her version of “Amazing
Grace.”
Before the funeral service, a
hearse carrying the native New
Y orker’s rem ains took V andross
on one final tour o f Harlem, paus
ing outside the Apollo Theater
b e fo re h e a d in g w e st to the
church. Before achieving star
dom, Vandross had twice finished
second at the H arlem theater’s
famed am ateur night.
