GODFATHER OF SOUL GIVES VAN TO HELP THE DISABLED

James Brown is making it easier for some disabled people to get on up and get on in.

Brown donated a handicapped-accessible van Monday to the Rev. Calvin Peterson of Disabled in Action, a suburban Atlanta group which serves the disabled.It's not the first time the Godfather of Soul has helped Peterson, who has cerebral palsy. In 1965, Brown bought a motorized wheelchair that helped Peterson finish high school and go on to college.
