Saw JB do the cape routine at a Minnesota casino about 10 years ago. I’ll never forget it.

every night, when me and that man were in bed together, all we did was talk about this day and what I was going to have to do and how if I wanted it I was going to really have to fight for it."

Yeah, I bet that's all she did endlessly talk about.

It’s one thing to bury a legend

quite another, to divvy his fortune.

“”My only regret is that the children cannot accept the will of their father,” Dallas said. “He left household and personal effects to his children. He left a trust fund to educate his grandchildren. And then everything else on the face of the earth that he owned he left to the needy and underprivileged children of Georgia and South Carolina for educational purposes. And he named his three friends (Brown’s trustees) to carry out that purpose.””

If this is an accurate description of the will, it would explain why the family moved to remove the trustees.

If Brown simply didn’t include his wife and she was already married, presumably his attorney’s knew what they were doing.

That said, the article is very short on details of the will.

James Brown invented funk music. It’s tough to name anyone else who singlehandedly invented a genre of ANYthing, especially in music. I saw him and his band at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, 1982. Amazing.
