James Brown was known by a lot of titles: The Godfather of Soul and The Hardest Working Man in Show Business among them, but as Alicia shares, his personal life was more than a little bit of a catastrophe. From trouble with the law, to trouble with the IRS, to extremely abusive relationships with women, this musical legend's legacy is mixed at best. And was he murdered?Content warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of domestic violence.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
