Several of Ray Charles' children called Sunday for an investigation of the management of the late entertainer's estate, including a charitable foundation he set up and a profit-making company that manages rights to his music.
There are "many unanswered questions," said Lisa Nkonoki, a spokeswoman for family members.
The dispute over Charles' musical and financial legacy was the subject of an article in Sunday's Los Angeles Times. The article reported that the rights to Charles' music had become the subject of several lawsuits in state and federal courts. The litigation pits several of the children against Joe Adams, 86, Charles' long-term manager, who after Charles' death in 2004 ended up in control of Charles' company, his foundation and the trusts set up for the children's benefit.
