California Attorney General Jerry Brown could be drawn into a dispute between the family of pianist Ray Charles and his longtime manager.
Charles’ 12 children are calling for an investigation into their father’s estate and of the charitable foundation that now bears his name.
The charity, originally established as the Robinson Foundation for Hearing Disorders, in 2006 attracted scrutiny from the California attorney general’s office.
The attorney general’s office objected to the foundation’s operation because Charles’ longtime manager Joe Adams was serving simultaneously as chairman, president and treasurer, in violation of state law.
