It's a Man's Man's Man's World
Not just the hardest working man, but the hardest working father(er) in showbiz turns out to be James Joseph Brown Jr.
There's another child. An anonymous Florida woman, has come forward with DNA testing, to claim a piece of a legend, unacknowledged prior to the Godfather of Soul's 2006 Christmas day death. More genetic allegiance with the man whose signature lyric (well, one of them anyway) was "I Feel Good" (from the song, "I Got You"). And apparently he did. And often.
From his four church-sanctioned marriages, Brown gave the world eight children (five men, three women), although his eldest son passed and there are some questions left from his final marriage about the "legitimacy of his youngest child. Is this all? Time and testing — other men and women have already come forward to have their Brown-paternity denied — will tell.
