James Brown Took 76 Days to Lay to Rest

(James Brown and disputed wife Tomi Rae Hynie)

James Brown died on Christmas Day, December 25, 2006. February 24, 2007, I posted this about Brown and people coming out of the woodwork to claim him as their father or Brown as their child's biological father.

Brown was finally laid to rest yesterday at the Beech Island home of one of his daughters - in a crypt emblazoned with the words "Godfather of Soul."

His wife (in dispute) Tomi Rae Hynie and their son, James Brown II (5), were in attendance and Hynie says she plans to move back to South Carolina to "carry out James' plans" of making their marital home a, "Graceland."

Good to see him laid to rest finally. Finally. Finally.

Trustees Seek DNA From James Brown:Guess they couldn't find it in "da hot tub!"

I couldn't resist. "Rub-a-dub --yowww! In a hot tub -- yow-yow!"

Now on to serious matters:
As we all know, James Brown got around (sorry, didn't mean to rhyme). The trustees of his estate know this and they have asked for DNA samples to be taken from Mr. brown to prove the paternity of any and all who claim him as "Daddy" - or in the case of moms - "My baby daddy."

Probably would've been a bit more respectful had they not waited for him to be dead 2 MONTHS to think about this! Apparently there have been lots of people who have come forward claiming Brown paternity but Brown only named 6 (slacker) in his will. Brown's longtime partner, and his partner, Tomi Rae Hynie, has said her young son also is Brown's child.

As for now, Mr. Brown is presumably resting peacefully in his coffin as he waits to be respected.

STAY TUNED FOLKS!
