Publisher's summary

If you think that you know the soul truth about James Brown, think again! My Father the Godfather is a history-changing audiobook about drugs, sex, lies, adultery, racism, murder, religion, politics, deceit, lust, Rock & Roll, and bribery but most importantly, we will set the record straight about James Brown, The Godfather of Soul! James Brown, The Godfather of Soul, may be the most misunderstood man in the last century. Confusion emerges as a consequence of the complexities in his life. His contributions toward modern music pale in comparison to the indispensable role he played in modern history. Brown lifted all races toward the ideals of equality and opportunity. Tragically, while he had the ability to calm the storms of social turmoil - his personal life was a perpetual tempest; sex, drugs, rhythm & blues. My Father the Godfather brings together, for the first time, those from Brown's inner circle. They will correct the distortions of the past and provide for the listener a clear understanding of the brilliance and generosity that was James Brown, Mr. Dynamite. You will see inside the man. You will never be the same. Let us pull back the curtain. It is time to enjoy the show! Five percent of book proceeds are donated to The Fender Music Foundation.
