The funeral of music icon Aretha Franklin is taking place in Detroit, Michigan.
The 76‑year‑old singer died of cancer on 16 August.
Former US President Bill Clinton ended his remarks at Aretha Franklin’s funeral by letting the singer speak for herself.
Clinton first praised the values and virtues Franklin lived by and said, “She cared about broken people.”
He continued by saying she cared about people who were disappointed and she cared about people who didn't succeed as much as she did.
Clinton then put his phone to the microphone and played Franklin's 1968 hit “Think” which features Franklin singing about freedom.
Two‑time Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson also paid tribute to Aretha Franklin with a stunning rendition of “Amazing Grace.”
Her performance drew people to their feet, while others raised their arms in praise.
