12/20/06 AUGUSTA, GA: Michael Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Reverend Jessie Jackson paying their last respects to The Godfather. While he would not get up and dance at the festive celebration, as M.C. Hammer did, Michael did pay further respects in a short, but heartwarming, speech in which he told of his Mom waking him up from bed, as a youngster, to allow him to see James Brown performing on TV.
