Kanye West - Kanye West Pays Musical Tribute To Gil Scott-heron At Memorial Service

The rapper performed an emotional rendition of his Lost in The World tune, which samples Scott-Heron's poem Comment#1, at Harlem's Riverside Church.

The late icon's longtime backing musicians also performed a medley of his most famous songs Better Days Ahead and The Bottle.

Scott-Heron's daughter Gia read an inspired piece of prose she'd written for her father, called Time, and dedicated a rendition of Bette Midler's The Rose to her father, who died last week (ends27May11).
