Christina Aguilera performs at Etta James' funeral
The 31-year-old singer sang her classic hit At Last in memory of the star.
Etta's funeral was held at the City Of Refuge Church in Gardena, just outside of Los Angeles, California.
Stevie Wonder performed three songs including Shelter In The Rain.
Christina, who counts Etta as one of her idols, told fans on Twitter two days ago: "One of the greatest moments of my life...Singing with my idol, the legendary Etta James. You will be forever missed."
Playing the blues ... Stevie Wonder
Etta died on January 20 at the age of 73.
The triple Grammy winner had been battling dementia and leukaemia.
She passed away at hospital in Riverside, California, with her husband and two sons at her side.
James, best known for her hits At Last and I'd Rather Go Blind, first charted as a teenager with The Wallflower.
A sad day ... mourners pay their respects
