As the public viewing of the late Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin begins this week, more details regarding additions to the performers list for her memorial have been unveiled.
It’s been confirmed as of Tuesday that Ariana Grande will be among the performers who will pay tribute to Aretha at her funeral Friday according to an official report from Associated Press:
Grande will be among entertainers Steve Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Faith Hill, Shirley Caesar, Chaka Khan and more. Franklin’s rep, Gwendolyn Quinn, says Franklin met Grande when the two performed at the White House in 2014 for then President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as part of the “Women of Soul” concert. Quinn says Franklin enjoyed meeting Grande at the time. Franklin’s family was moved by Grande’s performance of “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” after Franklin’s Aug. 16 death.
Grande performed the song with The Roots on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Besides performers, speakers include former President Bill Clinton, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Smokey Robinson.
This one is a no brainer. If you need convincing, get into her recent performance of “Natural Woman” below.
