The late “60 Minutes” journalist Ed Bradley was eulogized as a man who believed he was doing God’s work at a memorial Tuesday that drew admirers including National Basketball Assn. Commissioner David Stern and shock jock Howard Stern.

Former President Clinton was a surprise guest, remembering Bradley as “mesmerizing because you knew you were watching a master at work.”

Bradley died of leukemia at 65 on Nov. 9. His family organized a memorial at the Riverside Church that doubled as New York’s hippest concert venue for the day: Aaron and Art Neville, Jimmy Buffett, Allen Toussaint, Wynton Marsalis, Lizz Wright and Irma Thomas all performed in tribute to Bradley, a music lover.
