I saw James Brown at Madison Square Garden, in 1968. Quite a showman. I didn't like all of his songs, but he had some really good ones.

James Brown was not one of my favorites, but I didn't have to turn him off when he was on the radio or tv - like some I could never stand to see or listen.

In 1966 or maybe it was 67 I played a show with James Brown, The Mccoys and Peaches and Herb. It was an amazing experience.The McCoys did their hang on sloopy bit and then stretched out and Rick Derringer (Rick Zehringer then) was the first really smoking hard rock guitarist I ever saw. He blew me away. Peaches and Herb were a throwaway, but James Brown was absolutely incredible. I'll always remember that show. James Brown truly was a legend.

I would have expected his live in girlfriend to have more rights than she's being allowed.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The 5-year-old child of James Brown and his partner, Tomi Rae Hynie, is not included in the will read Thursday to six of the entertainer's children, attorneys for the late singer say.

While the will provides for six children, Hynie's son, James Jr., is not one of those listed in the document, attorney Strom Thurmond Jr. told The Associated Press.

The will was read Thursday in Aiken but has not been filed in probate court, said Buddy Dallas, another Brown attorney.

Brown died Christmas morning at age 73.

The gates to his home were locked soon after his death, Dallas said, until attorneys could get the estate's legal affairs in order.

The house is owned by the trust and "has been that way since August of 2000," Dallas said. "Technically, the trustees own it for the benefit of the trust. It was not in the name of James Brown and hasn't been that way for years."

Hynie's attorney, Thornton Morris, said he doesn't know anything about the will.

"She was locked out of the house so she doesn't know where the will that's being probated was found," Morris said of his client. "She has no knowledge to when this particular will was executed."

The body of James Brown has been removed from his South Carolina home, according to his attorney, Buddy Dallas.

The 73-year-old Godfather of Soul died on Christmas Day and his body, still in a coffin, has been kept in a guarded, climate-controlled room at his Beech Island, S.C., home since Dec. 30.

The body of singer James Brown lies in a casket at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, Ga., Saturday, Dec. 30, 2006. The singer's body was recently removed from a sealed room in his South Carolina home.
(Jeff Christensen/Associated Press) Dallas revealed Saturday the body had been moved on Thursday afternoon but would not say where it was moved to. He said no decisions have been made on the final resting place.

The singer's body was removed the same day his will was filed in Aiken County, S.C. The will, dated Aug. 1, 2000, declares that Brown has six living children: Deanna, Yamma, Vanisha, Daryl, Larry and Terry.

Controversy has swirled around Brown's family and his estate ever since his will was read out on Jan. 11. It was then revealed that his five-year-old son James Jr., his child with partner Tomi Rae Hynie, has been left out of his will. Soon after, Hynie said the family locked her out of the Beech Island home.

Hynie, a background singer, says she married Brown in 2001 and that James Jr. is Brown's son.

Rest of Story

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) -- The six adult children of singer James Brown have agreed with his partner, Tomi Rae Hynie, on where the entertainer will be buried, an attorney for the woman said Tuesday.

Robert Rosen said the resting place is being kept confidential at the request of Brown's children. He said the burial may take place in the "next few days."

Brown died Christmas Day at age 73. His body is in a confidential location, said Charles Reid, manager of the C.A. Reid Funeral Home, which handled Brown's funeral.

He said he checked on Brown on Tuesday, opening the gold casket to view the body.

"I do that constantly," Reid said. "That's the only way I can actually check him ... go in, open the casket and close it. And he's fine
