BROWN: 'NO REGRETS ABOUT BROTHEL UPBRINGING'

Soul star JAMES BROWN credits his childhood in a whore house with instilling common sense.

JAMES BROWN

The PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE singer grew up under the care of his aunt HONEY, who ran a brothel in Augusta, Georgia.

But rather than being ashamed of his unusual home life, Brown is convinced the experience has made him a better person.

He says, "It (life) would have been worse without that. Because I wouldn't have known that life.

"Suppose a man who knows nothing about that world is made governor. How's he going to tell a prostitute that she could have another direction?

"Even if I was the most educated person on the planet, it wouldn't do any good anyway. I'm much better off with common sense."
