Aretha Franklin's eight-hour funeral at Greater Grace Temple on Friday in Detroit was broadcast on TV and online.
The iconic musician and civil rights activist was eulogized by former presidents, fellow entertainment greats and religious leaders like Reverend Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton and Chaka Khan.
But according to Rolling Stone, additional details were missed if you weren't physically in the sanctuary, including:
1. The wide variety of massive floral arrangements in the lobby, from a diverse group of musicians, including Barbra Streisand, ?The Jackson Family,? Mariah Carey, the Four Tops, Tony Bennett and Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
2. Gospel performances resonated more than pop with the audience.
Although pop singers like Arian Grande performed, musicians like The Clarke Sisters and Chaka Khan?s gospel renditions electrified the crowd.
3. Aretha's role as a civil rights activist was spotlighted more than her voice.
According to Rolling Stone, Reverend Al Sharpton said, ?She never ashamed us, she never disgraced us,? said "If you leave here today and don?t register to vote, you?ll dishonor Aretha.?
