Charles Bradly deserved far more recognition then he got. It's so unfortunate that most people have only discovered him after his passing... RIP Charles Bradley. Edit: This comment is two years old, and yet I still get replies from all of you expressing your love for Charles Bradley and his music. That's so cool. I really appreciate y'all 🙏🏾🙌🏾 ❤️
i think he rests peacefully and happily knowing his heart and soul lives on in his music and continues to soften hearts and brighten days long after his mortal veil was lifted :)
I would rather discover these gems then never... Wow ive never seen hit after hit from one guy... Just what i needed too tragic lives can relate to these Powerful Pipes. Rest in Peace well keep him alive through his Wonderful music.
How am I just finding this man by accident? And he's no longer with us? Damn shame people don't push music like this anymore. I saw his face and KNEW this had to be special. I was not mistaken.
Me too😔😔🙈saw him 2x. Was aiming 4 a third time when he flew away. Sad. Great artist. Humble man. A star in my eyes. A true gem that we have lost. Glad I got to hug him n grab his hand and kiss his cheek. The guy next to me kissed his mouth. Charles just kept cool m calm n greeted the crowd. May He sing out loud in heaven or wherever he's flown off to. 👍👍👏👏 We miss you Charles. 😌😌
This world Is going up in flames And nobody Wanna take the blame Don't tell me How to live my life When you Never felt the pain Oh, oh, oh Come on babe They don't hear me cry They don't hear me try They don't hear me cry For what I gonna do, yeah baby I can't turn my head away Seeing all these things The world Is burning up in flames And nobody Wanna take the blame You oh you You oh you Me oh me They don't hear me cry They don't hear me try Don't stomp on that light It's killing me Oh babe Come on babe, get it right Gotta be A better world Gotta make it baby Gotta make it right Ooh Yeah, yeah, yeah baby, aha aha, oh baby
For real. It’s like the instrumental is a love letter to the soul classics of the bygone era of the late 60’s/mid 70’s, and the is song itself is the theme for the year that followed its release.
Charles Bradley was a guy that sang with his heart. Once his heart started talking, you knew something wonderful was gonna come from his mind and out of his mouth.
The Stronghold brought me here. WoW, I never knew something special like this existed until I watched The Stronghold. It felt like I was in heaven listening to that song.
Unfortunately, I found his music after he passed. This makes me cry today in the situation we are in here in the United States. Blame, blame is the way of the world now, breathing causes global warming, blame the rich, or somebody who has actually did something with their lives, blame the poor, blame somebody who cares about something that you don't agree with. Look in the mirror. It all starts with you.....
I'm probably headed to the hospital tomorrow or day after. My sickness isn't getting better (not Covid). Finding Charles Bradley is helping me through the stress right now. I don't feel so scared and alone and down about it. My illness is just part of the world being upside down right now.
So I’m not the only person who felt this song is very relevant at this very moment. It really is all going up in flames and it’s starting to look like less and less people care. Tragic.
hey, we're all here feeling this together right? I'm out there, we're out there. We care, we struggle together sister. Never give up!!!! We stand toegther, we win together. We got this bitches, we got this.....
Don. Sorry to hear. I saw him 2x. What a show. What passion. What humility. Got to hug, grab his hand, kiss his cheek. I cherish those memories. 👍👍👍😌😌😌
I discovered him only a few weeks ago and have been listening to all his stuff non-stop. How has he not blown up yet? His songs perfectly encapsulate this last decade and this moment we're living in.
@@BBBBBBBBBBBX I know, I learned about it soon after listening to him. I'm finding myself recommending him to everyone I know because I still just feel like it's crazy that he didn't blow up in the time he was alive, or even now.
What a heart of gold, the eagle of soul. We have to do something, we have to change. He didnt have money for a proper video but he had the biggest heart of all. I had the pleasure to see one of his shows and I cried every song... Dont worry Charles, your message of love and change will always be remembered
Agreed even though it’s from yrs ago, it seems Charles knew what was down the road. Been forever playing this song, sad that is has come to fruition…smh…RIP Charles
why have i only just come across the beautiful voice that is charles bradley at quarter to 1 in the morning today... youtube really needs to just shove this man into peoples feeds to make the world a better place.
One of the best Most heartful people ever lived on this Planet. He struggled all his Life been such an Angel and his thankfullness as He got recognized was endless.
God said the worst of times will come. There's always been a terrible world and we're living in one now. We have to just follow God's word and be good.
I was fortunate enough to see Charles open for Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings just after this was released in early 2011 at the Town Ballroom in Buffalo NY. Still one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. Charles is a reminder that it's never too late to achieve some dreams. RIP Charles, and Sharon
I miss him and Sharon Jones SO MUCH! I only had one chance to see them both live when they toured through my hometown of Buffalo, NY years ago and it is still one of the greatest shows I have EVER been to. The artists, the bands, all of them were AMAZING! It was incredible, I was awestruck, and getting to meet Mr. Bradley and Ms. Jones, talk with them, and get them to autograph my albums was such an experience that left an indelible impression on me.
Somehow this song ended up in my music library on my phone when I was downloading songs, but boy am I glad I did! Such a great song that sounds like it came straight out of the 1950s/60s and was pleasantly surprised when I saw that it came out only 9 years ago! Fell in love with this song first time I heard it, but reading the comments only to find that he passed away pretty recently which is so sad, we need more songs like this now more than ever with all the other crap that's coming out, this is certainly a breath of fresh air to the ears!
Everyone is just passing by in this world.The thing is , you've got to leave something behind otherwise you had no porpoise.Charles Bradley for sure left behind a beautiful legacy.
Powerful! Moving! Unforgettable! Saw him at Monterey 50th festival.He stood out, one of a kind, moved your soul. A crying shame that he died a few months later
I'm a middle class white guy from Liverpool, England, never really knew anyone black.... listening to Charles Bradley generates affection inside of me for my black brethren.
Well it's been 4 years this month that you left us Charles. This song is and will continue 2 be the anthem 4 this year and years 2 come I'm sure of it. I love this song yet can't listen to it 2 often. It's too deep, real, raw and heavy 4 me😌but thank you 4 this masterpiece. I miss you Charles. I hope we'll meet on the other side... 🙏😌🙏🎈🎈🎈
A truly talented artist, taken from this world. This song in particular is beautiful, it speaks to me. It really feels like he was singing from a very deep place within his soul. This song is more relevant right now than ever. We miss you Charles Bradley.
Thanks Charles. I didn't know that I was so hard into your sh*t since I heard it! I learned of you after you left my reality but whatever you have my heart!
Je n'ai jamais fais de concert de ma vie , le jour où j'me décide d'aller voir un artiste en concert , c'etais pour lui , il meurt la semaine où j'allais prendre une place pour le voir à Paris 😓😭 c'est pas grave , pour moi ce mec est une légende de l'ombre , paix à ton âme Charles je t'écouterais jusqu'à mon dernier jour et ferais connaître ton œuvre à tous le monde ❤️
Charles Bradly deserved far more recognition then he got. It's so unfortunate that most people have only discovered him after his passing... RIP Charles Bradley.
Edit: This comment is two years old, and yet I still get replies from all of you expressing your love for Charles Bradley and his music. That's so cool. I really appreciate y'all 🙏🏾🙌🏾 ❤️
I was heartbroken to find him after his death this man deserved to be bigger and more famous so damn good
Shut up. He passed away!? No way!!!!! Discovered him because of Suits in 2011 playing his song in an episode. Love ever since
@@artisticskillz01 Yeah, it's a shame. He's without a doubt one of my favorite soul singers of all time.
i think he rests peacefully and happily knowing his heart and soul lives on in his music and continues to soften hearts and brighten days long after his mortal veil was lifted :)
I am 1 of the people of which you speak,never heard of him until yesterday
Charles Bradley deserves so much more respect than he recieved
That is an understatement
true
Yes sir he does
I found out about him via Luke Cage on Netflix with the “Ain’t it a sin” scene right after it was released. Became an instant fan
@@EpicDrivenLee you are true thank you
Damn shame I find this man after his passing.
Ikr. Me too.
Same man
I would rather discover these gems then never... Wow ive never seen hit after hit from one guy... Just what i needed too tragic lives can relate to these Powerful Pipes. Rest in Peace well keep him alive through his Wonderful music.
Understatement. This is the kinda artist I wanna see jam at a Intimate venue.
@Ms. Savage cancer
This should be the official song of 2020
Hi, yes a Prophetic tune which becomes reality now. His Great Spirit still works hard to get us to awaken !
C'mon dude, its not a first time when something goes wrong. We can take it, live your life and will be fine. Cheers from Poland
th-cam.com/video/n-T0GjrMSs8/w-d-xo.html
Oh my gosh. I so agree. In fact, just posted it on my FB page for that very reason. ❤️
So f***ing true. Things going for the worst with time
He was such a a gem in this world..
R.I.P. Charles.. ❤
“Don’t tell me how to live my life, when you haven’t felt the pain.”
That verse describes "the last temptention of christ" in its most profund meaning, didn't ?!
Song mainly we don't accept our down fall and destruction we cause 2 ourseleves and every1 else, thats what hit me anyways.
Burnin up burnin up
I'm profoundly Deaf and i wear a hearing aids.... This song feels like I'm closer to heaven..... Absolutely amazing

💙 much love Simon
Well Simon just imagine what heaven sound like in natural hearing ear. PURE HEAVENLY BLISS👍👍
How am I just finding this man by accident? And he's no longer with us? Damn shame people don't push music like this anymore. I saw his face and KNEW this had to be special.
I was not mistaken.
I feel like this is the soundtrack to the earth right now.
That's so f***ing true
I feel the same
Yes it is. Charles we miss ya brother.
Yea man. Fck fonald dump
Couldn't have said that any sooner my friend.
This song is even more relevant than it was 4 months ago now
The world has been up in flames for 50 years
This song is older than four months
@@ShakedownTactics I should have replied directly to the comment from four months ago that say this is so relevant now :( instead I made my own
@@seanweatherall3151 Don't focus your energy on the small stuff. We all know how relevant this song currently is :)
@@jamesagwe2981 more than 50 years.. Just look at all history, all prejudice all, hate, humans can be the worst
This song is more relevant now than ever
Yes....u are so right😌👍👍😏😏👍👍
Especially now, since we're in the first ever plague in centuries.

I wonder what Charles would have said 🤔
he'd have burst into THIS song I'm sure

Unfortunately.

I miss him too.

And nobody
Wanna take the blame
Don't tell me
How to live my life
When you
Never felt the pain
Oh, oh, oh
Come on babe
They don't hear me cry
They don't hear me try
They don't hear me cry
For what I gonna do, yeah baby
I can't turn my head away
Seeing all these things
The world
Is burning up in flames
And nobody
Wanna take the blame
You oh you
You oh you
Me oh me
They don't hear me cry
They don't hear me try
Don't stomp on that light
It's killing me
Oh babe
Come on babe, get it right
Gotta be
A better world
Gotta make it baby
Gotta make it right
Ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah baby, aha aha, oh baby
Thanks, Bruno.
I appreciate the people who post the words so I can go over them and think again.
Hi, very soon all will understand
@@terryallen9546 me either!
Why am I just now hear about this artist? Was I living under a rock. That sound ... wow.
You should search for the Documentary of his life story. WoW❗
Ditto!!!!
For real. It’s like the instrumental is a love letter to the soul classics of the bygone era of the late 60’s/mid 70’s, and the is song itself is the theme for the year that followed its release.
Daptone Records!!!!
I've heard some of his stuff. I recognize the voice. But I never caught his name,till now. Amazing!
The world is diminished without you in our lives, Charles. We miss you - your smile, your laugh and that voice that is bigger than the sky.
Hi, his great Spirit still does not rest until the message of this tune is understood..........
Charles Bradley was a guy that sang with his heart. Once his heart started talking, you knew something wonderful was gonna come from his mind and out of his mouth.
what an absolutely beautiful statement
Best soul track in 30 years, love Mr Bradley’s voice.
If you went to a Charles Bradley concert you know
He hugged us, he shared. Thank you sir
The Stronghold brought me here. WoW, I never knew something special like this existed until I watched The Stronghold. It felt like I was in heaven listening to that song.
Unfortunately, I found his music after he passed. This makes me cry today in the situation we are in here in the United States.

So I’m not the only person who felt this song is very relevant at this very moment. It really is all going up in flames and it’s starting to look like less and less people care. Tragic.
But... cheeseburger.

Have you considered going vegan? Saves animals.....The planet. Yeah?
Hi, a tragedy yes it is, but now wi'll get order how to handle, that will be a BIG SHIFT and all are involved
hey, we're all here feeling this together right? I'm out there, we're out there. We care, we struggle together sister. Never give up!!!! We stand toegther, we win together. We got this bitches, we got this.....
This song makes me feel nostalgic. It makes me yearn for something I cannot put into words easily
Me too
There is no artist I wish I could of seen live more than Charles
Don. Sorry to hear. I saw him 2x. What a show. What passion. What humility.
Got to hug, grab his hand, kiss his cheek. I cherish those memories.
👍👍👍😌😌😌
I do not despair... I missed him also... I miss him still and miss Sharon Jones RIP.... we still have our chances...Life is fleeting
Got to see him at Summerfest. It was so much fun.

What a legend! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Jesus Christ what did I just listen to. Sweating profusely right about now.
It saddens me to learn he passed. He has more soul in his voice than anyone I have ever heard. RIP.
So much heart and soul! Charles' music expresses real hardships in the modern world. He put his all into this music. Rest in Peace
This is one of the best ive heard. This man is a messenger. He needs more recognision
This should be the official song of 2022
Agreed even though it’s from yrs ago, it seems Charles knew what was down the road. Been forever playing this song, sad that is has come to fruition…smh…RIP Charles
Simply brilliant song 🔥 for 2024
Dear Charles, you were true, the world is burnin, and nobody care.
Rest in peace.
