Will James Brown Ever Rest in Peace?

James Brown, the soul legend who died of congestive heart failure on December 25, 2006 was kept on ice for several months due to stupid squabbles among his descendants. Finally, sanity prevailed and his body was buried. But the body has never known peace!



So far, the body of James Brown has been exhumed and relocated for about 16 times. Some of these relocations were brought about by the singer's widow, Tomi Rae, upon the excuse that the man did not get the burial he would have wanted. The same woman also got a court order to get the man’s legs amputated and practically dismembered. This was to have a DNA test performed to determine whether James Brown was the father of Rae’s son, James Jr.



For a man who rose from a very humble background and, by dint of hard work, rose to great heights in the music industry, this is a big shame!

Whatever legacies James Brown would claim he had left to posterity could never compare with the gargantuan mess that now lingers since his demise. This is a huge lesson for all men, irrespective of their financial or social status. The mess men create in their wild days definitely lives after them!
