BROWN TOLD LAWYERS TO DNA TEST HIS SON FROM HIS DEATHBED
JAMES BROWN instructed his attorneys to carry out DNA tests to determine whether his wife's son JAMES BROWN II was really his in the hours before he died on Christmas Day (25DEC06).

Family lawyer DEBRA OPRI insisted the soul great wanted his kin to know the truth about the parentage of the five-year-old child his wife TOMI RAE HYNIE always insisted was his - but refused to find out for himself while he was alive.
Opri says, "James Brown intentionally did not do any DNA testing of that child during his life. And there was a reason for it.
"He uttered comments to his attorneys before he died and he said, 'When I'm gone, get it done so my family knows...' It's an issue that's going to be resolved very shortly."
Meanwhile, Hynie, who welcomes the idea of a DNA test, reveals her late husband left a small fortune for her and her son and instructed her to get hold of it in the days following his death.
She reveals, "My husband was so smart. He told me that the day he died to go to the bank and get something that he had left for me and my son.
"It was a cheque for $80,000. And then he told me I would need it to take care of him (son) until things went over. And then I also receive his Social Security; my son receives his Social Security in my name.
"And then I also get my husband's Social Security that will help me to get by until I get a job."
Of the cheque and Social Security windfall, attorney Opri says, "If it does exist and she got it, enjoy it."
