To the Family of Jean Knight,
We are truly saddened to hear about the death of Jean Knight, and we send our heartfelt condolences to you during this difficult time. We have certainly lost a talented person. We are thankful she shared her remarkable musical talents with us, and she will certainly be missed by all who loved her. I fondly remember listening to "Mr. Big Stuff" in the 1970s when it was released. It became a smash hit and went double-platinum. Thank you, Ms. Knight, for sharing your musical skills with others. You will not be forgotten. Most certainly, your legacy will continue to inspire others.

Please continue to treasure your good memories and may they soothe your saddened hearts. May prayers strengthen you and your cherished memories comfort you, and may God soothe your hearts and comfort you always. (23rd Psalm)

Condolences to the family of Ms. Jean Knight -

Many of us knew her name, her musical talent, beauty and hearing her music again brought back fond memories. You, her family, knew she was much more than that and you knew the good name she acquired for herself. A good name is something precious. You knew the person who wore the good name. A famous proverb says: "A good name is to be chosen rather than great wealth..". Keep those special times as a family to help you each day. Why not write down and look up some of the scriptural references of comfort and hope on this site to help you, too, as it has helped many who have lost dear ones.

That song came out, when I was in JHS. I remember, ny friends & would sing along with it, evertime it came on the radio. Brings back memories of my youth, in the 1970s.
RIP Ms. Knight.

I would like to extend my condolence to the family of Ms. Jean Knight. She was a lady with a sense of style and grace. "Mr. Big Stuff" was a hit song that touched the lives of many during the seventy's and thereafter. That song will be a part of music history for all time. There's no doubt that she will be missed by all who knew her personally and professionally.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May you always keep treasured memories of Ms. Jean Knight in your mind and heart. And may you always find comfort in knowing that those who have passed on in death God keeps in his memory because they are all precious in his eyes.

Sincerely,

RR

One of my all time memories of Jean was at Ernie K-Does funeral held at Gallier Hall, where she sang Mr. Big Stuff ! It was so fitting for Mr Big Stuff Ernie K-Doe´s big personality.
Jean put her sassy twist into the song and the audience loved her for it.
She was Lovely lady.
