N.Y. Grammy Award-winning Funk singer Rick James has been laid to rest in his hometown of Buffalo, where before his hit, "Super Freak," he was a choir boy from the projects with a soft spot for his mother.

About six thousand people filed past James' open casket after waiting hours in a line that stretched more than two city blocks. Seventy gospel singers and a band performed a lively tribute.
