    I'm a nearly 50 year old man who grew up listening to this song and I always felt it. Growing up and losing people thought life changes (no pun intended) how thing "hit" you. I haven't listened to this in years because I lost my girlfriend to a brain hemorrhage in 2003. This is the first time I have in ages and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Cried. Literally sobbed at this man's version of the song. It felt good to cry honestly. I miss her still. Thanks for posting this Beth. I didn't realize how much healing I still need to do. Love your channel. Love your reactions and your insight. And lastly... I love and miss you Theresa. My beautiful angel. ❤️

    Charles was a very kind soul> I was able to meet him once before one of his shows. He was walking around talking to people and thanking them for coming to the show. I was able to talk to him for about 10 mins. It was actually my birthday and I went to the show by myself. I told him that and he was taken back that I wanted to see him on my birthday. I was able to get a picture of the both of us. I was very sad to hear of his passing. There is a reason why he was called the Screaming Eagle of Soul. He will be missed.

      You should definitely check him out! Inspiring life story. It explains why it rips through your heart when you hear him sing. (But he also really enjoyed singing because it was a late calling if I remember correctly.)

      The story of Charles Bradley an inspiring one more than anything. He was born into poverty, worked hard all his life, and worked his way up from the bottom. He sang for most of his life, often while working other jobs, and didn't really make any money or garner any fame at all until about 2010, by which point he was already in his 60s. He died in 2017, but those seven years in between justified all the hard work and sacrifice. He got a record contract, recorded albums, toured huge festivals, got the fame that was long overdue, appeared in TV shows like Luke Cage, and died surrounded by his friends, family, and the musicians he'd worked with those seven years, doing what he loved. And he leaves behind a legacy, a great story, and some of the most amazing music you could ever hope to hear.

    My mama passed away this September 23rd. I flew into LA to see her. Spent the night with her in the hospital, talked about making changes in our lives and promised that she'd move in with me so I can take care of her. Liver cancer got the best of her that night and she fought the next couple of days, until the Lord said otherwise. On my way home from the airport, this song came on and finished as I parked in the garage. Fuck, that was rough last 5-minute drive home. I love you Mama.

    YES!!! I was hoping that you would be reacting to this cover. Charles Bradley is a very talented singer. He has so much soul, and you can really see the heartache, pain, and hardships that he has gone through in his life.

    Beth, I followed your vids to some of my favs songs for awhile now. Love your technical assessment and how you study the range of vocals to a measure of mathmatics. Some artists' reach a scale that is indescribable but you did it in 4 syllables.... "He just lived".
