The Four Tops have led stars from the worlds of soul, gospel, jazz and blues at a tribute concert for Aretha Franklin on the eve of her funeral.

 

A People's Tribute to the Queen, held on the waterfront of Franklin's hometown Detroit, ended with a mass performance of her anthem Respect.

 

Her granddaughter Victorie Franklin thanked the crowds, saying: "It's truly inspiring to see how many hearts, how many people my grandma has touched."

 

Franklin, 76, died on 16 August.

A great great woman.  World is a poorer place without her

Wonder if trump will use his legendary invective and charm to honour the passing of another famous american who actually had talent and positively affected people?

That she was female and a person of colour suggests he will say nothing or be dismissive/scathing given his renowned racist  and misogynistic leanings.

The man is a disgrace and all those who voted for him and support him need help.
