Fans are mourning Aretha Franklin at some of the places where the legendary singer performed.
Several people, some visibly mourning, walked or drove by New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit Thursday morning after news of Franklin's death was announced. Franklin's voice on some of the songs she made hits streamed from the second floor of a home across the street.
Franklin's father was the pastor at New Bethel Baptist, and it is where she learned the fundamentals of gospel music.
Karen Weary, 62, also walked to the church to pay respects to Franklin after learning of her death. She was "the Queen of Detroit," Weary said.
