DNA testing has confirmed that the late James Brown is the father of two more children.Dozens of people underwent foolproof DNA analysis after claiming to be the offspring of the late singer - and now Brown's attorney and longtime friend Buddy Dallas has confirmed that two of the results came back positive. Although he refuses to identify the names of the star's new-found children, LaRhonda Pettit has gone public with the results of her test - a 99.99 per cent probability she is the soul man's daughter. Pettit - the spitting image of the soul legend - claims that Brown picked out her mother from the audience at a Los Angeles gig in the early 1960s, and she soon became the singer's girlfriend, often ironing his shirts before his shows. Pettit met Brown briefly in Texas in 2003, but says he refused to acknowledge she was his daughter.She says, "I was angry that he was out there making all this money, and he wasn't doing anything for my mother and me... I could have had a better life." But the single mum also claims she has mixed feelings about her father, "I love my daddy. When I hear my daddy's music, it just freezes me."

The disabled former flight attendant is also hoping for a windfall inheritance from her late father, which she will use to fund her two daughters' education.

The identity of the second confirmed child has not been revealed. Brown passed away last year (25Dec06), aged 73, from heart failure.
