James Brown's Last Show at the Apollo

James Brown is making one last stop at the Apollo today, his body lying in repose at the historic Harlem theatre where Brown made his debut in 1956, where he so often performed over the years, where he recorded one of his most memorable albums, and where thousand of mourning fans came to today to pay their respects.

Brown died on Monday, Christmas Day, after being admitted to an Atlanta, Georgia, hospital with pneumonia. He was 73


Brown's close friend, the Reverend Al Sharpton, said it was going to be "a royal day in Harlem" as the Apollo stop begins three days of wakes and memorial services for the soul legend. Brown's body, prepared in a Georgia funeral parlor, had to be transported overnight to Harlem by van after missing the last flight out last night, Sharpton rode along with his friend's last remains. "He never missed the Apollo," Sharpton said. "If we ride all night, that's fine."
