Local 4 will air a special on Aretha Franklin Thursday night at 8 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 31: Funeral service in Detroit
When: 10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 31, 2018
Where: Greater Grace Temple, 23500 W Seven Mile Rd, Detroit, MI 48219
Who’s performing: An all-star lineup that includes Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Shirley Caesar and many more will perform at Aretha Franklin’s funeral on Friday morning.
Also slated to perform are Ron Isley, Chaka Khan, Yolanda Adams, Jennifer Holliday and Aretha Franklin’s son, Edward Franklin.
Who’s speaking: Former President Bill Clinton, Smokey Robinson, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Cicely Tyson will be among the speakers.
Franklin’s rep, Gwendolyn Quinn, says other speakers will include former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, music mogul Clive Davis, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Bishop T.D. Jakes.
Clinton and the Queen of Soul were longtime friends. She sang at both of his inaugurations. Robinson and Franklin grew up together in Detroit.
The service will reflect Franklin’s strong gospel roots. Among the gospel stars performing will be Marvin Sapp and Vanessa Bell Armstrong. The Aretha Franklin Choir and the Aretha Franklin Celebration Choir are also on the program.
Tickets: The event will be open to the public. Tickets are required for admission and will be available online through Ticketmaster beginning Monday at 10:00 a.m. Guests are allowed a maximum of two tickets. The tickets are free.
The Associated Press will livestream her invite-only funeral service Friday starting at 10 AM ET, with news outlets around the globe expected to pick up the coverage. BET said Thursday that it will have commercial-free live coverage of the funeral on TV and online, starting at 10 AM ET. ABC News Live, ABC News’ 24-hour news channel, also will have live coverage beginning at 10 AM. Bounce also will televise the service, and its Scripps sibling Brown Sugar will livestream it.
Local Detroit TV stations also will have live coverage, and national cable news outlets CNN, Fox News and MSNBC will air portions of the service from the Motor City’s Greater Grace Temple, the same church where Franklin sang at Rosa Parks’ funeral in 2005.

The Most Unapologetically Black Moments At Aretha Franklin’s Funeral
Posted 8 hours ago
Written By NewsOne Staff
Now that is what you call a homegoing. Aretha Franklin‘s funeral was yesterday at Detroit’s Greater Grace Temple and for over 8 hours, the service took over the country. From television to social media, no matter who you were, you had to take a minute to sit down and take in the Queen of Soul’s final bow.
The funeral included former President Bill Clinton, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Al Sharpton, Hillary Clinton, Clark Sisters, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Faith Hill, Shirley Caesar, Chaka Khan and more.
There were several classic moments that let you Aretha Franklin truly, and unapologetically, never forgot her roots.
Check out the Blackest moments from Aretha’s funeral below:
Ms Tyson & Paul Lawrence Dunbar. She took my BREATH AWAY.
