From today's Detroit Free Press:
Aretha Franklin's funeral will be a star-studded musical affair: Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Ronald Isley, Chaka Khan and Jennifer Hudson are among the singers who will perform at the Aug. 31 service in Detroit.
Fantasia, Yolanda Adams, Shirley Caesar, the Clark Sisters and Jennifer Holliday are also on tap to perform, Franklin's family announced Thursday. The full list of 19 performers is below.
Franklin's funeral will be at 10 a.m. Aug. 31 at Greater Grace Temple on Detroit's west side. It is expected to draw a host of dignitaries and celebrities from across the entertainment spectrum.
Bishop Charles H. Ellis III of Greater Grace will officiate, with the Rev. Robert Smith Jr. of Detroit's New Bethel Baptist Church as co-officiant. The eulogy will be delivered by the Rev. Jasper Williams Jr. of Atlanta's Salem Baptist Church.
At this point, the funeral is private, but some public seating ultimately may be made available.
Note: While there could be some crossover, the performers named for the funeral service are distinct from the lineup that will play the just-announced Chene Park tribute show on Aug. 30. That list of performers has not been released.
