No Kidding: Ray's Family Feels 'Disrespected' by Manager

It seems none of our soul legends can ever afford to rest in peace. On the heels of a GQ blog detailing the travails of Godfather of Soul James Brown comes news that music legend Ray Charles' longtime manager, Joe Adams, is being accused by several of Charles' children of mismanaging his estate.

Seems the children have complained to the California attorney general, the Los Angeles County prosecutor's office and the FBI, seeking a formal investigation into Charles' estate, trusts and foundation for possible wrongdoing by Adams. They're crying foul over Adams having too much control over Ray Charles Enterprises and the Ray Charles Foundation, claiming he's showing "disrespect for the family and children" by excluding them from business dealings.

We shake our heads and hope this matter gets resolved quickly and without too much of a public spat. Now, I'm off to listen to Genius Loves Company, and remember the legend that was Ray. [EUR]
