Legenda soul muzike Areta Frenklin sahranjena je u petak u svom rodnom gradu Detroitu. Višečasovnoj ceremoniji pored članova porodice prisustvovali su i brojni prijatelji kao i mnoge poznate ličnosti.
“Kraljici soula” poštu su, ispred crkve u kojoj se nalazio kovčeg s njenim telom, odali i vlasnici desetina ružičastih “kadilaka”, u znak sećanja na njen hit “Freeway of Love”, prenosi AP.
