James Brown's will, which was read last week and excludes his partner, Tomi Rae Hynie, and their five-year-old son, was drawn up 10 months before the child's birth and more than a year before their marriage, a newspaper reported.

The five-year-old son of singer James Brown and his partner Tomi Rae Hynie is not included in the will read to six of the entertainer’s children, lawyers for the Godfather of Soul say.

James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, was released from jail today after being charged with domestic violence and ordered not to contact his wife.
