James Brown Headlines Apollo One Last Time

Brown, who died of heart failure in Atlanta at age 73, will lie in repose Thursday at New York's Apollo Theatre with a public funeral in his boyhood home of Augusta, Ga., the following day.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Wednesday that the services in Georgia would be at an 8,500-seat theatre with Brown's friend the Rev. Al Sharpton, officiating. City officials expect an overflow crowd.
