May he rest in peace! He was a legend and will be sorely missed.

Yes he will! So far, Jesse Jackson (as minister, not politician for once), Clint Eastwood, Willie Nelson (doing "Georgia On My Mind"), Glenn Campbell, Stevie Wonder, and Cicely Tyson have either spoken or performed. B.B. King is at the pulpit now. And just a short while ago, they played Ray's version of "America The Beautiful."
