AUGUSTA, Ga. --- The Reverend Al Sharpton preached at another Augusta funeral on Friday.

This one is for Ella Overton, known as Ms. E. She was the late James Brown's personal assistant for 35 years. Ms. Overton died last week in an Augusta Nursing Home.

"She was like dad's sister. I mean, she did his hair at home. If he needed her on the road, she went on the road," says Deanna Brown-Thomas. "She was very instrumental in his personal life for 35 years."
