      Rip Charles Bradley. Saw him perform in Burlington, VT back in 2013 or maybe 2014. Incredible performer. The man had soul, and style. See ya in the next one, Charles.

    Found this man by chance, searching for something completely unrelated (a wrestler called MVP) on Google image search and thought he had an awesome purple suit. After I downloaded his 2011 album I was *certain* he must be a legend of soul. It's ridiculous that he's just now getting his break! Damn right I bought his album after - it's instantly one of my favourite discs of all time. Live long and stay strong, Mr. Bradley, I want to hear a lot more out of you.

      People gettin' awake.
      Hopefully they find their way to the real Truth of Life.
      ------------
      Jesus says: I am The Truth (think about all the lies in this world, who's truthful?),
      The Way (to Heaven, follow Jesus)
      and The Life (forever life with the Living God in the Light not the darkness of this world)

      What a robbery that Menagan Street Band didn't get the credit for writing the Soundtrack for Rocky "Gonna Fly Now". I kinda knew a white man didn't write that.
      RIP Elder Bradley 🎩

    What a breath of fresh air. Daptone: if you think he is going to break on radio or video or through retail come up with a new strategy. How about hooking up with a liquor distributor that gives you money and puts the music code inside a label on a bottle of wine? And/or BBQ sauce? The liquor companies are looking for a way to stand out on the shelf. If you like alcohol, chances are you like music. No way Al Green breaks in today's environment. Tim Hyde in LA, real estate guy.

    I grew up in the UK and my Stepfather raised me on a diet of Motown, Stax, etc... I was always jealous that I missed going to see these shows and actually being able to live in an era where that kind of music was released...
    Well now I'm living that and it makes me miss my Stepfather, but the music soothes my soul!

  • @theradiorahimshow
    @theradiorahimshow 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am so proud to have produced so my shows with him, he is a man of honor, indeed he is channeling the late great James Brown. IF you ever get a chance to see his show you will see what i mean.

    I knew in my heart of hearts when I first saw this video back in 2010 that Charles was going to be somebody the world would love and take into their hearts because there's a true honesty in his heart that just pours from his voice. I recently watched the documentary made on Charles on Netflix and it was a really amazing story to hear. I'm glad he's made it and I hope to hear many more albums from the man in the coming years. : )

  • @clovisinlove
    @clovisinlove 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm willing to guess that the 21 people who didn't like this song are young people who listen to garbage such as Lady Gaga or that Nikki chick and do not see how absolutely powerful this song and its message is. I especially love to hear music that does not come from a fake looking person who has to be and appear outrageous to be popular. This song is way more meaningful than any song any of those people will ever create in their lifetime!

    @thealphamale31 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This sounds like a cool 70's soundtrack. I am truly feeling the soul and 62 years today isn't that old especially if he's taken good care of himself.
    Charles Bradley is the exception but a damn good exception
    to the rule.
    Keep it 100 Charles!!!! I too am a James Brown Tribute artist and I know for sure performing James Brown brings out the essence of true soul; however what's even more surprising is that Mr. Bradley put that essence into his music. Love it!!!!!

    @jameshungrydego 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is one of my favorite artist. Charles Bradley is keepin it real. No plastic Lady Gaga or Brittany Spears here. Just great musicianship combined with raw, dirty, stripped down, honest and beautiful soul music. All of it sung from the heart and his real life experiences. Enjoy.
