Thousands of fans are expected to pay their respects to Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, who died nearly two weeks ago.
Franklin's body will be on view for two days at an African‑American museum in her home town, Detroit, before her funeral there on Friday.
The museum also hosted civil rights activist Rosa Parks's viewing in 2005.
Detroit, seen as the home of soul music, is treating Franklin's death as the passing of royalty.
A week of mourning is being held in the city.
