Michael Jackson To Attend Brown's Funeral; Officials Prepare For Celebrities
Preparations are being finalized at The James Brown Arena in Augusta, Georgia for the public viewing of James Brown at services that are being held on Saturday. Mayor Deke Copenhaver has told The Augusta Chronicle that security measures are being altered to accommodate the number of celebrities expected to attend that service. Mr. Copenhaver also confirmed that pop singer Michael Jackson is expected, as are many other entertainment and political figures.
Michael Jackson idolized Mr. James Brown. As a child and adult, The King of Pop emulated the fancy, syncopated footwork and vocal styling of The Godfather of Soul, and at the 3RD ANNUAL BET AWARDS in 2003, BET honored Brown with its Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honor bestowed by the network on any individual. During that telecast, one of the most memorable moments in music television history occurred when pop star Michael Jackson surprised millions of viewers by joining Brown on stage in a spontaneous outpouring of dance and song in salute to the icon's amazing career that spanned more than five decades.
The public viewing Saturday will begin at 9 a.m., with services to be held at 1 p.m and will be officiated by The Rev. Al Sharpton.
