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.
Я тоже недавно на него наткнулся и Охренел 🇺🇦👍
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
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
He was such a a gem in this world..
R.I.P. Charles.. ❤
I'm profoundly Deaf and i wear a hearing aids.... This song feels like I'm closer to heaven..... Absolutely amazing
❤️
@@Thacarshee I heard it last night put it on repeat and got right up and started dancing
💙 much love Simon
Well Simon just imagine what heaven sound like in natural hearing ear. PURE HEAVENLY BLISS👍👍
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

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
“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
Man Charles Bradly's music just makes you feel something
This song makes me feel nostalgic. It makes me yearn for something I cannot put into words easily
Me too
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
Best soul track in 30 years, love Mr Bradley’s voice.
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.
Good luck!👍
Hope you're well, friend. 💗
I had the opportunity to see Charles Bradley many times the show was never a disappointment.
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.
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.
Talent, Keeping the culture and Black Excellence. Thank you for keeping the legacy of soul alive. RIP brother
If you went to a Charles Bradley concert you know
He hugged us, he shared. Thank you sir
Thanks Daptone.
Thanks Daptone.
Thanks Daptone.
❤❤❤
So much heart and soul! Charles' music expresses real hardships in the modern world. He put his all into this music. Rest in Peace
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!
He had one powerful voice. Music like this will never die.
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..........
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
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
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
What a legend! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
A rare human being with a talent that was as large as his heart and soul...and, his love for life, people, music and, fir love
RIP Brother 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.
Stumbling on to this man was a gift...💯🙏🏻
It saddens me to learn he passed. He has more soul in his voice than anyone I have ever heard. RIP.
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.
@@jayjay86443 .....
facts 😏
I wonder what Charles would have said 🤔
he'd have burst into THIS song I'm sure
😏🎵🎵take it easy out there👍👍😌
Unfortunately.
jayjay86443 this isn’t a plague it’s a pandemic. And it’s not the first one in centuries, the SARS outbreak in 2003, Ebola?
I keep coming back to this through the years.
It's rare to find gems of artists anymore... He's a brilliant gem🥰
As the world turns, this is the perfect song for the world today.
The man with the sledgehamer voice. Thank you sir, for sharing your soul with us.
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.
Real soul music and the music that new black artist bring out these days need to learn for this guy and the REAL artist from the past. Great song man.
A true song for the modern depression of the world. his voice is so powerful.
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.
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
so much sadness and pain in the song you can feel it to a deep extent
I don't know how on earth I found my way here, but this is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard.
Rest In Power Brother!! Your music still inspires the generations that follow in your path.
The Screaming Hawk!!!
I once got to watch him sing for a few hours only 15 feet away, one of the greatest performances I've ever seen.
That's freaking cool , where was that at ?
@@alejandrofranco4986 Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls
Hey Elites!!!! Keep your evil hands off this guy!!!! he's full of LIGHT!!!! his voice is of the people!!!!!
He’s already dead buddy
@@aferg1986 unfortunately he was a real OG
Oh boy can this dude sing he gives it his whole heart.
Simply brilliant song 🔥 for 2024
God bless Charles. Rip
And of course bless the great menahan Street Band for giving Charles a platform
Feel this man, I feel people that have been harmed as I have. I Love You Charles Bradley.
I love this mans voice! This song is even more true right now.
Rest Easy Charles! thanks for the great music!
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.
@@tasosiakov2911 yeah, I know what you mean, as long as you leave your loved ones with good memories! And yeah I'm so glad I stumbled upon him.
Big man. Big heart. Big respect from Italy.
Jesus Christ what did I just listen to. Sweating profusely right about now.
How in the hell did I sleep on this dude. He's awesome!
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.
💯💯💯

I can feel his blues, his pain deep in my soul...it cuts my flesh like a knife...wow Jesus

I miss him too.
@@AndySalinger33 did you know him?
@@TBAYMenace only through his music
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.
😌😌
From Colombia! Love this song and the soul of his voice! 2020 the year of this theme!
All this years and I never knew this song had a music video!
This song really describes america, specially now....
You can put a human through the worst of things and yet, they come out ever more beautiful than ever.
Thank you Charles for your legacy that I just found today. Rest In Paradise. 🙏🏼

I love this song it speaks the truth of what's going on in the world now
Where is Charles Bradley when the world needs him the most ?
awsome song made me cry. RIP Charles

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.
Hi, his great * Spirit * is alive and well
Charles Bradley was a prophet. He predicted 2020.
Literally just discovered this song. Brilliant, and instantly made me curious for more.
Same here. Very fitting
All of his 3 albums are amazing. Check em out
I remember finding this song tripping of an 1/8th of shrooms and listening on repeat. Great song lmao. RIP to a Legend
Mr. Bradley never disappoints me. Excellent as usual love it
I'm not sure if I have hear more than 5 songs from this man that have mad me cry, either sad or happy cries. Special dude.
Hi, a * MASTER *
This is coming from the stars what a voice my God is good.
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.

This is one of the best ive heard. This man is a messenger. He needs more recognision
Hell yea Raw Soul
This needs to be translated and shared across the world. All people need to hear this and loose the blindfold holding all of us back
Hi, yes, clear sings will fallow
The blindfold is ignorance. People fear what they do not understand, and fear leads to hate.
If bill withers was still alive he would be proud Mr. Bradley…. Thank you for this…. This song is worth a lifetime of listening 💯
Speaking to the soul of the earth and humanity🙌
R.i.p uncle Charles Bradley. Your music will live forever.
