Thank you Steve, it was an unforgettable day ❤️💙🧡

Omg... Pig tails and a bass guitar. Absolutely precious!

Who can watch this without crying tears of joy for Ellen? Not me. Her reaction to meeting Bootsy Collins was heartwarming, but her reaction to EW&F was priceless! Her parents were very moved as well. Keep on bringing us joy, Ellen!

This is an old soul in a young girl!!! She's going to be amazing when she grows up!!!

I'm a fifty five year old bass player watching this and completely tearing up. Ellen is a diamond in everyway possible. shell go very far and already is. wonderful to meet her heros. This is so great .

man, her face when her idols gave her props......priceless.

Father and daughter were touched by EWF. What a spectacular moment for this young, sweet person.

Seeing your young guest get overwhelmed and going into Uncle Steve mode to help her through it was classy.

I’m a 66 year old Black man and m not crying, there is something in my eyes…

Bootsie Collins 🔊 Earth, Wind, and Fire 🔥 Are you kidding me, for that precious bass player Ellen- right on!

She is precious and VERY talented. Her father is an excellent guitarist and his pride in her is glowing.

Ellen is not only an accomplished bass prodigy, but she is an absolute joy to watch. Thank you, Steve, for sharing her with so many and for your genuine surprise!

i just found her a few weeks ago...omg, not only her TALENT but her JOY!! i am 67 & i just bought a bass a couple of weeks ago, cuz you are never too old!!! Bravo to her parents...as a retired school teacher, i know for certain the fruit does not fall far from the tree!

She is 11 now. Been watching her and her father for a few years. It's fun to watch her because she just loves it so much.

This is what happens when the FATHER is in a child's life. She is truly a joy to watch, and she is a pure soul. Keep up the good work young lady and Dad! You are an inspiration!

I don’t know what is better, creating music singing, piano, guitar, bass, drums…, or seeing the joy that radiates from her as she plays. She has a KZfaq channel “Ellen plays bass” for those who don’t know her go, watch a legend grow.

Keep playing baby girl and never lose that “old soul” groove! You’re definitely listening to the right music!! Good job mom & dad for putting her on the right track!❤

that is ALWAYS the BEST ADVICE,"just ALWAYS BE YOURSELF!"

Oh wow!!! So awesome for EWF and Bootsy to take time out for this little genius🥰🥰🥰 Steve you rock!❤❤

That was one memorable experience for young Ellen. Wishing her all success. ❤

Mr Harvey is correct; mom, dad raised a great kid. Aedin

Steve Harvey did a masterful job putting this little girl at ease.

Thank you Steve for having Ellen on. She is an inspiration and so incredibly talented and sweet. So kind and has an infectious smile and laugh. Way to go Ellen. So cool .

That was so amazing!!! The older she gets she will be a wonderful bass player!!!! Hats off to Bootsy and EWF for taking the time to acknowledge her talent.

Brought a tear to my eye seeing young Ellen's reactions to meeting her idols. Mum, Dad, you must be beautiful people to have raised such a charming, talented and beautiful daughter...

Only 9! She's an awesome old soul! The artists and their music she chose for her inspiration shows just how impactful and timeless their music is. That's the music I grew up on. So much raw talent in the '60s & '70s.

Earth, Wind & Fire!! Love those guys!! Little Ellen sure had a great day!! She made our day too!!🎉🎉🎉

Thank you Steve ! Ellen is a great Bass player. I have been watching her play now for about a year and she is ALWAYS happy and smiling :) She is a very lucky little lady with GREAT parents ! Ellen always make me happy !

Wow, I cried too. It's just everything from those times of music that will never be replaced. The child is going high into music. Thank you, Steve. Blessings

I watched with tears in my eyes... so many incredible people together! Ellen is a very talented and adorable little angel.

This is one of the sweetest, most heart warming things I have seen in a long, long time. Steve Harvey seems like such a good man.

“You were Thumpin that thing!” Steve Harvey 🎯

She is awesome with a beautiful smile ! I would like to share a story of how Mr Phillip Bailey called my wife in her hospital bed after having😮 cancerous brain tumer surgery in Philadelphia Pennsylvania a few years ago. He took the time to speak with myself and my wife during which he spoke from the heart and offered beautiful words of encouragement. Unfortunately the treatment that follwed the surgery was unsuccessful and my wife passed away shortly after her treatment was over ! I have had the pleasure of meeting all three original members of EWF and they are all class acts ! Ralph Johnson went above and beyond by taking a photo that I had taken from the front row of Phillip Bailey. We were back stage at the Allentown music fairgrounds and he took my photo to Phillips bus to have him sign it for me ! Thanks for reading my message!

Wow, she's amazing she did an amazing job. She definitely got sound old school in her bones and finger. She was so amazed as her favorite people took time out for her

That little girl looks cute and adorable!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

EARTH WIND AND FIRE , THANK YOU GUYS , MORE POWER TO HER AND ALL OF YOU .RIGHT ON STEVE HARVEY

What a sweetheart with some sassy attitude. Much love to Ellen and her family. Thank you Steve for making everyone's day with Bootsy and EWF. Love from Australia

She Has Me In Tears With Her WAY To GO....

Wow! What a beautiful shoutout from these legends.

I've been following Ellen for about a year now. She always brings a smile to my face no matter my mood on that day.

Her dad is an amazing guitarist and has played with Victor Wooten and Dream theater . He taught her the basics , but i honestly believe ahe was born to play bass.. And shes so full of joy when we she plays !

You're at the right place, Steve Harvey is going to make you famous.

For 9 years old, she is very talented..you go girl..keep playing ❤

I'm speechless,she is great you go Girl!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am here because I am a solid Ellen fan, and have been for well over a year. Love seeing her get recognition.

Dad's are so important in a child's life, not just mom only... Ellen is a favorite of mine.. I watch her progress through her journey.. Love ❤️ her.

What a great little girl with stacks of talent and a dad that took time to help her and advise her ….brilliant

That's sweetheart, she'll play everything her daddy teaches her. God bless you Ellen ❤👏

Ellen is amazing!

Very touching reaction she had for EW&F😢 Her heroes obviously! My dad was a bass player in a band in the 60's and toured out to California...best time of his life. He still has his bass and plays now and then. He absolutely loved this video. You go Ellen! Amazing!

I'm looking forward to watching Ellen's star rise. She's an amazing talent. I was brought to tears watching her tear up. ❤️🌸

Aww, her response to them 'watching her on KZfaq', was so beautiful. When they realized she was crying, it just melted their hearts. And their wonderful encouragement is so special. Smiling thru tears!

the relationship this girl has with her father is beautiful they share the love for music, this is an amazing show to have those superstars make an appearance is incredible.

I've watched several of Ellen's videos. She is an incredible young lady. Here father is to also be credited with his love and attention to Ellen's progress. Way to go dad (and mom too)! Ellen I am so proud of you!

God bless this young girl. ❤❤

Lil ELLIE PLAYING THAT BASS...WAY TO GO DAD...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ..

Simply outstanding, massive to see Ellen, her skills, the great Bootsy Collins and the great Earth Wind and Fire, Thankyou Steve, thankyou.

Ellen`s bassplay open your mind, hear Ellen laughing open your heart

If she doesn’t, she should have her own KZfaq channel. She’s awesome 🎉🎸. Well done, Dad!

Absolutely inspiring. Thank you to Ellen for the funky sounds and the family who fostered that dedication.

This was done a while ago. I think Ellen might be 12 now. Been following her dad and her for a while. I first found her playing a Rush cover Tom Sawyer she nailed it! Then playing with these other kids Led Zeppelin’s The Ocean. I love hearing kids playing music I grew up with 😊

Congratulations Ellen for your time on Steve Harvey! You're skills are amazing. Love your playing and your joyful smile. Am a huge fan!

Who wouldn't wish this charming young lady a great life!

Super Steve! You gave this talented little girl, with these masters of music, a wonderful blessing.❤ You are the best!

She's proof that teaching love is better than teaching hate...and judging by her smile, teaching love is way more fun!!!

You better play it young lady! So talented.

Sweetest thing I've seen in a while. Been following Ellen for a couple of years, wonderful to see her interact with her heroes.

Been following her for 2-3yrs. She’s awesome! Great job, parents!

let's just talk about this wonderful girls dad who is so supportive, and also one of the greatest electric guitar players nowadays !

Two of my favorites 😍 I remember the graduation song in high school for 76, 77, and 78 were all EWF songs. Devotion, Keep Your Head to the Sky, and Be Ever Wonderful. I guess our music teacher loved them so much since 3 of them came from Denver, CO where I went to high school.

how awesome is that girl?even better= that her heroes took the time to recognize her...wow

I'm speechless, she's amazing at such a young age!!

See what u do in the world Steve , do you know how happiness u bring to the people old man/women /kids u think that God gonna forget what u do. Be always blessed Steve and God keeping u alive we gon’ shake hands one day I got tha faith
