Protecting His Greatness

My siblings and I agree that it is best that we share only the best of our father, James Brown, with the outside world. My dad was a very good, spirited and determined man, and America loved him despite his flaws. I also loved him above and beyond our biological connection; I have suffered greatly in my life and I still do, but maybe that was to be my lot in life, and perhaps I will be rewarded for it later in some other capacity or in some other way.

James Brown, “Mr. Please, Please, Please” and the “Hardest Working Man in Show Business”, you were not perfect, by far, but what you will always be is great, determined, and real. And I am proud to say that your spirit lives on in my siblings and me, and our children. And I want to say “thank you” for giving me life and thank you for giving me your spirit. I am going to make something of my life, Pop. Thank you for all that I have inherited from you in every way, I promise none of it will go to waste. That I vow to you and your memory.

And, Deanna, please, I am reaching out to you; please find it in your heart to contact me. You can get my information from Julie Moss @ 800-610-0666 or 916-569-0667, or by fax @ 916-569-0665; I believe that you are familiar with my attorneys. I just need to talk to you. I will be back very soon, in approximately 120 – 150 days or so.
