Who are James Brown's daughters?

Deanna Brown is a radio presenter as well as an entrepreneur who has a keen interest in music, just like her father. Brown learned music from her father, James Brown, while working her own jobs. Soon, the elder daughter of Brown took over the position of executive vice president at the James Brown Enterprise.

In an interview with an entertainment portal, the radio personality honored her father by saying, "I was able to travel around the world with Dad, work under him, and watch him before he got to the stage. And seeing a man who went as far as seventh grade be able to do what he did—I mean, he's a conglomerate. But just think of where he came from and to have the acumen like you speak of, with no education."
