James Brown charged with domestic violence

James Brown was booked in Aiken, South Carolina, Wednesday.

AIKEN, South Carolina (AP) -- Soul singer James Brown was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly pushed his wife to the floor during an argument, authorities said.

Brown, 70, was charged with criminal domestic violence and was to remain jailed until a bond hearing Thursday morning, Aiken County sheriff's spokesman Lt. Michael Frank said.

Investigators say Brown shoved his wife during an argument in a bedroom at the couple's home in Beech Island, 70 miles southwest of Columbia.

Tomi Rae Brown, 33, had scratches and bruises to her right arm and hip and was taken to a hospital, Frank said.

James Brown's publicist Simone Smalls declined to comment Wednesday.

Brown is known as the Godfather of Soul for a multitude of hits, including "I Got You (I Feel Good)," "Sex Machine" and "Living in America." Last month he was honored at the Kennedy Center as "one of the most influential musicians of the past 50 years."

Brown served a 2 1/2-year prison term after a 1988 arrest on drug and assault charges and was convicted of a drug-related offense in 1998. He was granted a state pardon in May.

That alledged behaviour is not to be condoned.

There was an interesting profile of JB on the telly not long ago in the UK. Funnily the whole hour of interview was subtitled, at JB's suggestion, presumably because he recognised that people couln't understand him. Quite right too! He talked about his prison experience and how it had made him stronger. Was it in jail all those years ago that he started singing? I think he spoke about being his own judge a lot. I hope he hasn't let his standards slide.

Interesting that he actually got a pardon having served 2 and a half years.
