soul singers James Brown and Aretha Franklin sing during a Home Box Office taping at the Taboo night club in Detroit. Franklin is scheduled to undergo a medical procedure Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010, one day after a community prayer vigil was held in Detroit on behalf of the legendary Motown singer. Franklin wasn't at the vigil, but in a statement she thanked the City Council, saying "all prayers are good." (AP Photo/Rob Kozlof
