Looks like "My thanks, James Brown." He usually wrote "God Bless" or something similar, though I'm not sure what he's written underneath his name.

Thanks for your answer Jim. 

What do you think of his autograph - is it genuine?

Yes, in my opinion, it's genuine.

Just a update. I asked for a quick Roger Epperson opinion and he said it looks fine.

Jim, I think you are right about "My thanks, James Brown". Maybe the text underneath his name says "Soul B" (as Soul Brother).

I actually won the action on Ebay at about $98, so I think it was a very good price. The photo about 10*12 inches - you can see the whole photo here:

It might be, but sometimes James' 'Gs' can look an awful lot like his 'S':

That may very well be a "God Bless" at the bottom of the OP's example.
