Family and friends are set to bid farewell to R&B legend Nick Ashford in Harlem on Saturday.

A star-studded funeral procession is planned, along with a service Abyssinian Baptist Church for the writer and performer of hits like "Solid."

Ashford, who with Valerie Simpson formed one-half of the songwriting duo Ashford and Simpson, died of throat cancer on Monday at the age of 70.
