The Kennedy Center Honors will be broadcast on CBS Dec. 26. Rapper LL Cool J said Brown “broke down mental and social barriers and made it possible for me, a black kid from Queens, to stand in front of presidents and say, ‘Say it loud. I'm black and I'm proud.’” Younger R&B stars covered some of Brown’s hits, with Anastacia performing “Sex Machine,” Joss Stone singing “It’s a M an’s M an's M an's W orld” and Brian McKnight tackling “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag.” HOURS Monday 11:00-9«) Tuesday CLOSED Wed. & Thurs. 11:00-9:00 Fri.& Sat. 11:00-10:00 Sunday 11:00-8:00 CATERING ALLEVENTS Fish Sandwich — $858 ™°A Y & Fish Dinner — $11 69 SATURDAY * * * N ew L ocation * * * 5 4 1 0 N .E . 3 3 rd 5 0 3 -2 8 8 -3 8 3 6 MILLENNIUM M James Brown PROPERTIES Ex-Ronette ‘Devastated’ Over Spector Case (A P ) — R o n n ie S p e c to r G reenfield, who with her sister and cousin made up the black 1960s girl group the Ronettes, was "devastated” when ex-hus band and record producer Phil Spector was charged with m urder in California. "I had never seen him violent like that, with a gun or anything,” Greenfield said. "I feel awful.” G reenfield, now 60, acknow l edged that Spector often threat ened her while they were married, from 1968-74, and after they d i vorced. She said he w arned her he would send a hit man after her but was never violent himself. Spector, 63, is charged in the Feb. 3 shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson in his hilltop man sion in Alhambra, Calif. He sug gested that Clarkson, 40, may have shot herself. Greenfield said she hadn't con tacted Spector. “I really wanted to stay out of it," she said. "I think we'll always be friends because we have children together. I think it best if I don't talk to him now.” Her com m ents cam e outside a court hearing in New York where negotiations were underw ay to settle a lawsuit against Spector that w ould give the R onettes $890,000 owed for recordings but not for royalties for uses that include advertising and movies. The Ronettes' lawyer, Alexander Pelt/., says the women are due at least $1.5 million. The difference between the sums required a hear ing before a judge who will do her own calculation of what the women are owed.
