Listen Later

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Deanna Brown, daughter of TGOF James Brown. Deanna tells us all about growing up with Mr. Dynamite and his loving as well as his difficult ways. A one woman advocate for the Augusta, Georgia Tourism Board, Deanna gives us details about The James Brown Family Historical Tour, the charity work that the family keeps alive in their father’s name and the James Brown Academy of Musik Pupils along with much more.

We hear about Deanna’s years growing up around the man known as The Hardest Working Man in Show Business when he wasn’t on the road. We discuss his business acumen, his work for civil rights and his interest in helping the less fortunate. Deanna was transparent, honest, forthright and candid to say the least.

We also hear some very funny as well as some very sad stories too. She really didn’t hold back. From Eddie Murphy and Soul Train to her father’s sudden passing, we hear it all. So sit back and let the daughter of Soul Brother Number One tell it like it is. Or was, growing up with a celebrity known the world over. It’s Mrs. Please, Please, Please, next up on the Rarified heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.
