Hey friends- happy Thursday. Hope the week's going well for you so far.
Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, and Shirley Caesar will be among the performers at Aretha Franklin's next week.
The service- to be held at the Greater Grace Temple in Detroit next Friday- will also reflect Franklin’s gospel roots with gospel stars Marvin Sapp and Vanessa Bell Armstrong performing, and the Aretha Franklin Choir and Aretha Franklin Celebration Choir on the program, too. The list of performers- shared with the Associated Press by Franklin's longtime publicist- also includes Ron Isley, Chaka Khan, Yolanda Adams, Jennifer Holliday, and Aretha Franklin’s son, Edward Franklin.
Don't forget to join us for another rip-roaring edition of Saturday Night Karaokelive, loud, and all up in your business this weekend at the Iron Horse Tavern in historic downtown Norcross.
Former Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King- co-writer of Sweet Home Alabama and Saturday Night Special, among others- has died at age 68, according to his family.
A post to King's Facebook page today reads "It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Ed King who died at his home in Nashville, Tennessee on August 22nd, 2018. We thank his many friend and fans for their love and support of Ed during his life and career."
Cause of death was not announced at press time, but King had been chronicling health issues on his Facebook page for some time.
King joined Skynyrd after co-founding Strawberry Alarm Clock in Los Angeles in 1967 and co-writing the band's best-known song, Incense and Peppermints.
No memorial plans have been announced.KT Tunstall has released a new single called The River ahead of her new album, WAX, due out October 5.
Don't remember KT? You couldn't get away from her Black Horse & The Cherry Tree back in 2006.
This one lacks a "hook" (the "whoo-hoo") a'la Tunstall's biggest hit, but it's still a pretty good tune.
