The eight-time Grammy winner, Lauryn Hill, opened her set with a tribute to D’Angelo, beginning with “Nothing Even Matters.” Lucky Daye then joined her onstage to perform “Brown Sugar,” followed by appearances from Leon Thomas, Bilal, and others. The show continued with a performance of “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” before Jon Batiste closed out the moment, then in a flawless transition Lauryn Hill paid homage to Roberta Flack, starting with “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” Batiste returned to the stage alongside Leon Bridges, with October London and Lalah Hathaway joining in for “The Closer I Get to You.” The moment grew when John Legend and Chaka Khan came out to perform “Where Is The Love.” Wyclef Jean later joined the lineup to help deliver a moving rendition of “Killing Me Softly With His Song,”
