Woman says she was James Brown's wife Yahoo! News - 11 minutes ago COLUMBIA, S.C. - A 73-year-old Georgia woman claims in court papers that she married James Brown in 1953 and they never divorced.

[Edited 11/8/07 8:27am] This can get rather messy. If this is true that means none of the other marriages were ever valid. | |

She picked a good time to come out with her story of never getting divorced by JB. She waited a whole 54 years, awesome. PRINCE: Always and Forever

You mean 37-38 years, right? Because apparently James "divorced" her in 1969 or 1970, depends on what biography (or autobiography) you read about him. | |

Some peeps believe they are officially divorce when they get the Decree Nisi but they are still technically married  | |

But didn't she say he filed for divorce? Therefore some kind of divorce process probably took place but wasn't completed. | |

Probably it was something his people failed to comply to her. They were probably too scared to tell him.  | |

Yeah that is hilarious to believe but James was a handful. If things didn't get done accordingly, either he fired them or beat they ass up, lol. | |

 Wasn't he hilarious on that interview?!
Woman: "How did all this (his legal problems with Adrienne) come about?  "
JB: "(SINGS)  Living in Ameeeee-rica... Something wrong?  "
Woman: Nothing wrong at all James but you're out on bond. JB: "NO I'M NOT! "
Woman: "  Have all the charges been dropped?"
JB: "Yeah I'm out on LOVE! "
Woman: " Are you out on love or out OF love, which is it?"
JB: "Out on love! (SINGS) I've longed for night to night, you find me"

Or how about this part:
Woman: "Your fans are going to be asking some questions about this, aren't you even concerned?" JB: (speaking in gibberish) No, Danke Schoen, I'm not concerned 'cause there's nothing wrong. "
Woman: "And what are you gonna say when fans ask you about this?" JB: "I'm gonna say I FEEL GOOD! PAPA'S GOT A BRAND NEW BAG! IT'S A MAN'S WORLD! (does a dance)"
