Deserves a celebration in his honor that we were able to benefit from his contribution to society. His music was a view of his Soul.

Heard this morning two of his children have filed complaint stating he was poisoned. Now conducting an autopsy and I'm sure there will be a lengthy civil law suit filed. These two daughters hadn't saw him for quite some time. He was being cared for by his Management team. Money, money, money. Pretty sad.

I read he had 15 kids (most with women he was not married to at the time) and over 50 grandkids as of 2004. By now the grandkids could have kids. That is a lot off folks who can claim being an heir and want their piece of the pie.

Estate planning is very important.

This reminds me of the James Brown estate that has yet to be settled after more than eight years. He left a will, but it has been contested by his children and a "wife." See http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/14/u...godfather-of-soul-a-will-in-deep-dispute.html.
