Macon fans of r&b legend Aretha Franklin plan to hold a prayer vigil for her Thursday night.
That's according to former Mayor C. Jack Ellis.
He says the event happens at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Rosa Parks Square, off Poplar Street.
He says they’ll pray for the Queen of Soul and play some of her music.
Franklin, 76, died Thursday morning.
Her best-known song -- "Respect" -- has a Macon connection: It was written and first performed by Otis Redding.
