A public memorial service bursting with music, including a planned performance by Stevie Wonder and a surprise one by Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean of the Fugees, celebrated the life and legacy of the Grammy-winning singer and pianist Roberta Flack.

Flack, whose intimate vocal and musical style made her one of the top recording artists of the 1970s and an influential performer long after, died last month at age 88.

The memorial was at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, a historic Harlem institution in New York City.

“Her existence was a form of resistance,” Hill said in her speech, holding back tears.

Hill then launched into a cover of Flack’s transformative song “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” followed by “Killing Me Softly With His Song” with Jean — and Wonder joining in on harmonica.

Hill’s appearance was unexpected but fitting. In the 1990s, the Fugees did a masterful take on “Killing Me Softly With His Song.”

A legend who needed no introduction but certainly received one with roaring applause, Wonder followed up.

“The great thing about not having the ability to see with your eyes is the great opportunity of being able to even better see with your heart. And so I knew how beautiful Roberta was, not seeing her visually but being able to see and feel her heart,” Wonder said.

Wonder performed his song “If It’s Magic,” accompanied only by a harpist. Then he sat at the piano to sing with the harpist a song he wrote for Flack, “I Can See the Sun in Late December.”

Earlier, songwriter and performer Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson played piano and sang “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing.”

Flack “put a soundtrack to Black dignity,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who gave the eulogy.

“The reason we’re here is because she made a difference,” Sharpton said. And we should all ask ourselves when it comes our time, will they pack a church for you? If Roberta were here tonight, she would tell you, ‘Don’t just praise me, emulate me.’ ”

As many said in their tributes, Flack’s musical genius stemmed from her ability to seamlessly move between soul, jazz, gospel and beyond.

Osment files for divorce: Actor Emily Osment has filed for divorce from her husband of less than five months, musician Jack Anthony Farina.

Osment, 32, filed the petition to end her marriage to Farina, 42, in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday.

The court filing says the two were married on Oct. 12 and separated Dec. 7. It cites irreconcilable differences as the reason. They have no children.

It was the first marriage for Osment, the sister of “The Sixth Sense” actor Haley Joel Osment. She is known for roles on the TV shows “Hannah Montana,” “Young & Hungry,” and “Young Sheldon” and its spinoff, “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.”
