Detroit will celebrate the life of Aretha Franklin on this morning at 9 a.m. (CST) 

Over two dozen people -- including heads of state, a record mogul, and music legends of nearly every description -- will take the stage of the Greater Grace Temple to speak, sing and pray in honor of the gift that Franklin so readily shared with the world.
