There will be a public viewing for the singer on Friday in Inglewood and a private funeral held Saturday in Gardena, with Rev. Al Sharpton providing the eulogy. A rep for Sharpton released a statment Tuesday saying the funeral will include performances by celebrities, although no names were revealed.

The family is asking that any donations be sent to the Philadelphia-based Rhythm & Blues Foundation. James became a Pioneer Award honoree of the nonprofit organization in 1989.

James died Friday at the age of 73 after her battle with leukemia. The legendary singer also suffered from dementia and hepatitis C.
