James Brown's daughters launch royalties battle

The daughters of soul star James Brown have filed a federal lawsuit against him, seeking more than $1m (€923,000) in back royalties and damages for 25 songs they say they co-wrote.

Deanna Brown Thomas, who works at a South Carolina radio station, and Dr Yamma Brown Lumar, a Texas physician, say Brown – known as the Godfather of Soul – has withheld royalties because of a family grudge.
