Episode notes

When the “Godfather of Soul” James Brown died on Christmas Day 2006, his cause of death was listed as heart failure. But intrepid reporting from CNN’s Thomas Lake has surfaced dozens of unanswered questions about Brown’s life and final hours, most importantly to allegations that Brown was murdered. The story starts with one courageous woman named Jacquelyn Hollander who captivated Lake with her outrageous claims and her many, many receipts. In this special episode, we go down the rabbit hole of Lake’s multi-part article called “The Circus Singer and The Godfather of Soul.” 

Check out Thomas Lake’s article on CNN.
