Aretha Franklin’s casket just arrived for a public viewing in Detroit — where the Queen of Soul will lie in state for a couple of days — and massive lines are already starting to form.
Crowds swarmed and lines stretched around the block of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History Tuesday morning to catch a glimpse of Aretha and pay last respects to the legendary singer. Her body was on display in an open casket … surrounded by a beautiful floral arrangement.
We broke the story … there is going to be a plethora of big music acts performing at Aretha’s memorial Thursday, including names like the Four Tops, Ron Isley and many, many others.

CNN says this is a copy of the program for her funeral service Friday at Greater Grace Temple … where Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Hudson, among many others, will perform.
Aretha died earlier this month of pancreatic cancer. She was 76.
