Courtney R. Brown Sr.

A Gangster and Gentleman

Courtney Brown Sr, was 2nd in command of one of the top 5 Black drug organizations of the 1970's. During the 1980's he worked with elements of the Medellin Cartel and in the late 1990's he was convicted of heroin conspiracy with various Pakistani and Afghani co-defendants. He was featured in my documentary "Motown Mafia" - his son Courtney, Jr, and I have become good friends and we are currently working on developing "Motown Mafia" into a major Television Series. This is the 82 minute (almost) uncut interview I conducted with Mr. Brown for "Motown Mafia". He is alive and well today in Detroit, enjoying his family, friends, and Chinese Food. A true Gangster and Gentleman
