RIP Charles. I saw you in Canada about 5 years ago and it was truly inspirational. U turned a metal guy into a huge fan. I just wish u could have enjoyed ur new life for longer. U were truly great, my brother.
Rest In Peace :( Can't believe he's gone. I listened to his music every day.. Budos, Menahan, Daptones will miss you. I connected to every one of his records cause this guy knew pain, he knew the struggle of being brown in this country. Still can't believe this.
I feel this song, everytime i clear one obstacle i get ten more thrown in my way, song makes me feel less alone, thank you Charles, lord bless your soul.
Why is it so hard To make it in America I try so hard To make it in America A land of milk and honey A land supposed to be built with love It take love and understanding To live and let live I was born in Gainesville Florida I traveled far and wide Then I moved to Brooklyn, New York Had hard times, for sometime I hold on Why is it so hard To make it in America I try so hard To make it in America Seemed like nothing was goin' right So I said to myself You got to move away from here I went to upstate New York A little town they call Poughkeepsie Got me a job To get away from all this stress But I couldn't get away No matter how far I went Seems like nothing gonna change Everything still remained the same Why is it so hard To make it in America I try so hard To make it in America Why, tell me, tell me We gotta make a change, in America Help me somebody
Charles Bradley didn't hold a pregnant woman at gunpoint and rob her. Or have a huge criminal background. Disgusting you compared Floyd to the great Bradley
Ernesto Morenov it's hard to come up in a broken system in Mex. Breaks my heart to have to leave the culture in HOPE of a better life here in California. It's still hard AF, but it's weird, as cliche as it sounds, hope is the only thing that makes me work 80 hours a fucking week.
if i only had one person to listen to forever... hard to tell if i go bob marley or charles bradley.... if heavens real, they in my top 10 i wanna meet. lol ( wish i believed in heaven, life would be less sad but i cant kid myself or others lol )
AckShNz if your comment was for me then I feel bad for you. You're obviously immature and don't know any better so I can only feel pity for you. It's ok though I'm just glad you feel better by trying to insult a stranger who you have no reason to bother.
Who is still listening Charles' songs timeless songs in 2023?
2032
Rest in peace Charles
Holy shit it felt like just last week he died....

Just found this guy on Spotify. Amazing album. Ashamed to have not known about him already.
Hopefully you've seen his documentary too. I felt that same "where have I been" when I first heard him.
Thank you for the tip! Just discovered him too. KEXP 's video blew my mind
cfunkproductions I️ feel ya.. unfortunate for me.. I️ didn’t find him until October.. RIP Mr. Bradley
cfunkproductions its never too late to find good music
The fact you found this singer nine years ago makes me sad. For me.
Rest In Peace :( Can't believe he's gone. I listened to his music every day.. Budos, Menahan, Daptones will miss you. I connected to every one of his records cause this guy knew pain, he knew the struggle of being brown in this country. Still can't believe this.

You are not alone.
Why is it so hard
To make it in America
I try so hard
To make it in America
A land of milk and honey
A land supposed to be built with love
It take love and understanding
To live and let live
I was born in Gainesville Florida
I traveled far and wide
Then I moved to Brooklyn, New York
Had hard times, for sometime I hold on
Why is it so hard
To make it in America
I try so hard
To make it in America
Seemed like nothing was goin' right
So I said to myself
You got to move away from here
I went to upstate New York
A little town they call Poughkeepsie
Got me a job
To get away from all this stress
But I couldn't get away
No matter how far I went
Seems like nothing gonna change
Everything still remained the same
Why is it so hard
To make it in America
I try so hard
To make it in America
Why, tell me, tell me
We gotta make a change, in America
Help me somebody
I saw him live at The Bowery Ballroom four years ago and he blew the roof off.
You're so lucky.
CHARLES BRADLEY. GOD BLESS YOU AND REST IN PEACE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC AND THE WAY YOU MADE US FEEL . SHEDDING YEARS BRO
RIP Charles. Thank you for such beautiful and honest music

Charles Bradley didn't hold a pregnant woman at gunpoint and rob her. Or have a huge criminal background. Disgusting you compared Floyd to the great Bradley

This is amazing, but the live version is better
Harvey Spector brought me here :)
Well, imagine how hard it is to make it in Africa..
People move to US from hope, from hope of a better life and what they find is sadness
L V sadly true..
WHY IS IT SOOO HARD.......TO TAKE NORMAL HUMAN SIZED BITES OUT OF SANDWICHES.... I TRYYYY SOOO HARD
Because America has sorely neglected the land value tax dividends that are integral to a fair market.
Rest in peace Charlie
