James Brown, the iconic godfather of soul, has new music on the auction block.

The late James Brown's former producer, Jacque Hollander, announced that there will be a James Brown Auction in Chicago Studio today, July 7, and tomorrow.

"It's time to return James Brown, the greatest music legend in the world, to his fans and the people who love him," Hollander says.

Thirty years ago James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, entrusted Hollander with a massive amount of material. "Fight for the truth," he told her. Hollander has carefully kept it secreted away from malevolent hands.

Hollander is ready to break her silence. 

The producer to the "Hardest Working Man In Show Business" is also telling stories about corruption and sex crimes.

"This story has everything: meteoric rise of an unknown, idyllic fame, betrayal, love, hatred, violence, corruption, drugs, embezzlement, murder," reads the press statement.

"It sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster movie.   A victim of violence herself, Jacque Hollander successfully fought to end the statute of limitations on sex crimes. She has been opposing the corruption of men who have been embezzling the funds of a children's charity that she co-founded with James Brown."

She is ready now to unlock the memorabilia, souvenirs, stage outfits, recordings, masters, written material and hidden secrets.

Jacque Hollander will talk to reporters about betrayal, tribulations survived and the upcoming auction of her entire James Brown collection.
