Because you might want to check.

Yet another woman has successfully proven through DNA testing that she is the child of Godfather of Soul James Brown. She is the third person to do so since Brown’s death in December of last year. About a dozen such DNA tests have been performed since his death, either by people who genuinely think they’re his child, or who just want a part of his will. The will currently names six children, and is being disputed in court.

One of the newfound children is LaRhonda Petitt, a 45-year-old retired flight attendant and teacher in Houston. Another is a Florida woman who declined to be named.

  • @chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don’t have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.

  • My brother and I were just debating your very topic, he is continually attempting to prove me wrong. Your view on this is wonderful and just how I truly feel. I just mailed my brother this page to demonstrate him your own view. After overlooking your weblog I added and will be coming back to read your updates!

  • My partner and I really enjoyed reading this blog post, I was just wondering do you ever trade featured posts? I’m constantly searching for somebody to make trades with and simply thought I would ask.
