Papa's got a brand-new settlement

The legal battle between the family of the late soul legend James Brown and his widow, Tomi Rae Hynie Brown, has ended.

US judge Jack Early ruled that Hynie Brown would get a quarter of Brown's fortune and assets, a quarter would be given to his six children, while the remaining half would go to a charitable trust.

The singer, dubbed the Godfather of Soul, died on 25 December 2006, at the age of 73.

His widow and Brown's family had been battling over his assets ever since.

"I am so relieved and happy that the court has approved this settlement," said Hynie Brown after the hearing.

"I want to be able to work with the trustees and other Brown family members to promote James Brown's legacy."

Deanna Brown, the singer's daughter, said: "It has been a struggle, but God has blessed us and we are thankful.

"We look forward to working towards the goals of our father by providing education scholarships for impoverished students and his own grandchildren, and making his home a museum for the world to come and see."
