“I feel good.” That’s what James Brown’s daughter had to say after she won a small-claims lawsuit against the Godfather of Soul’s longtime tailor reports the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. Deanna Brown Thomas was suing to get custody of a silver cape the Cleveland couple, who produced all of Brown’s stage outfits, had made for him before his death. The couple handed over the cape in court this morning. Brown never tried on the cape in question, which will now reside in his museum.
