James Brown really was a Sex Machine: “That man died trying to come”<\/a><\/h2>\n

TDS EDITORS<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sean Flynn\u2019s lengthy James Brown profile in this month\u2019s GQ (excerpted online\u00a0here<\/a>) is\u00a0making headlines<\/a>\u00a0for its claims that the Godfather of Soul had a vasectomy in 1984 (thus throwing doubt on one of the paternity claims filed against his estate), while going a long way to explain why the late soul music legend fully intended to omit most of his blood kin from his will, and how it was almost inevitable that his extended family would battle for their share after his death.<\/p>\n

Flynn adds plenty of dirty details about just how and why Brown managed to sire so many children in the first place:<\/p>\n

When Mr. Brown grew up, when he was a famous performer touring the world forty, fifty weeks a year, he fucked a lot of women. That is a\u00a0deliberate term, fucked, because Mr. Brown was not a man who made love or even had sex. Mr. Brown fucked. \u201cHe did not know about the soft,\u201d a longtime friend says. A lot of times, he\u2019d let one of his cronies deal with the preliminaries, make small talk with a girl, get her a drink, keep her company. \u201cShe ready?\u201d he\u2019d ask. \u201cI ain\u2019t got no time now. Make sure she ready.\u201d He\u2019d hop on, roll off. Straight missionary, straight to the point. He never saw a reason for much else. \u201cWhy\u2019s a white man eat a woman?\u201d he once asked a white friend. \u201cWhat\u2019s he get outta that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hell, the man was in his sixties before he discovered doggy style on the Playboy Channel. He called up Roosevelt Johnson at three in the morning to tell him about it. \u201cYou sittin\u2019 down, Mr. Johnson?\u201d he asked, which is what he always said when he had an astonishing new fact to report. \u201cBlack man don\u2019t know nothing. Black man don\u2019t know a damned thing. A white man, he get up in his woman from behind.\u201d Johnson pretended to be surprised by that. (\u201cYou had to go there with him,\u201d he says, \u201cbecause you didn\u2019t know anything Mr. Brown didn\u2019t know.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

So how many women? How high can you count? Mr. Brown always kept a few girlfriends on the side, some for decades, and he always found a woman or two in whatever city he happened to be playing. \u201cThere\u2019d be times, literally, when one would be coming in the front door while another one was going out the back,\u201d says Buddy Dallas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, some of them got pregnant.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, even after age, diabetes, prostate cancer, and copious drug use had rendered him impotent, that didn\u2019t stop him from digging into the dust and trying:<\/p>\n

\u201cMotherfucker was crazy,\u201d says Gloria Daniel, a girlfriend he kept on the side for forty years. \u201cIt was the drugs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Brown smoked his drugs\u2014PCP, until that got hard to find, then cocaine\u2014mixed with tobacco from his Kools. \u201cYou sitting there rolling tobacco out of a cigarette\u2014that\u2019s a woman\u2019s job\u2014and you sitting there naked so he can look at you \u2019cause he getting ready to fuck you,\u201d she says. \u201cYeah, right.\u201d She rolls her eyes. The drugs, to say nothing of the diabetes and the prostate cancer, made him impotent. \u201cHe tried like hell, though,\u201d she says. \u201cHe\u2019d wear you out. That man died trying to come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"JamesOne night in the summer of 2001, after he\u2019d slathered her in Vaseline (\u201cHe liked you all greased up,\u201d she says. \u201cLike a porkchop\u201d) and wore her out trying to come, he gave up and left the room, and Gloria dozed off. When she woke up, Mr. Brown was standing at the foot of the bed in a full-length mink coat over his bare chest, a black cowboy hat, and silk pajama pants with one leg tucked into a cowboy boot and the other hanging out. He had a shotgun over his shoulder and a white stripe of Noxzema under each eye. \u201cI\u2019m an Indian tonight, baby,\u201d he announced. \u201cC\u2019mon, let\u2019s let \u2019em have it.\u201d Then he dumped a pickle jar of change on the floor, told her to get a machete, and went out to the garage. He took the Rolls, drove ten miles to Augusta, weaving all over the road, clipping mailboxes, smoking more dope, and screaming about being an Indian.<\/span><\/p>\n
