Don Cornelius has been cremated at a private service attended by friends and family who were led in prayer by Rev. Jesse Jackson.
A spokeswoman for Cornelius’ son Tony says the service was held Thursday at the same cemetery where Michael Jackson and other celebrities are interred.
Tony Cornelius wrote in statement that his father and Jesse Jackson were very close, so it was only appropriate that the reverend deliver a prayer in the “Soul Train’’ founder and host’s honor.
