DNA & Godfather of Soul

The Godfather of Soul is also a father many times over. In addition to six children of record, three additional children have now been proven to have been fathered by the late soul singer, James Brown. About a dozen DNA tests have been performed since he died in December 2006 of heart failure at the age of 73. Some people have been ruled out as Brown's children, while other tests are still pending.

The emerging offspring are adding even more twists to the legal squabbling that emerged after the Sex Machine's death. The estate disputes between the singer's children already involves as many as two dozen lawyers.
