Here's a cover where, personally, i think is better than the original: ua-cam.com/video/NxPkxUMLH8g/v-deo.html and, if you wanna see what they look like, here you go: ua-cam.com/video/5yGhbIwG-3U/v-deo.html
I had the pleasure of being a personal friend of Charles he played a veterans festival for me before he became big he used to travel as black velvet the worlds best James Brown impersonator. But he was so much more than that in such a genuine human being. I got to watch him have his first top 10 album on Rolling Stone when he was in his 60s.Watch the Netflix documentary on him called soul of America it is fantastic
Bless you and i wish i was there honestly u got to be apart of history and more importanly uave a great freind i hope your doin well and continue to do so
There are only a handful of covers equal to or surpassing the original and the late Charles Bradley performing Changes is one of those artists to do so.
@@georgewest1835 ...first time I heard this wailing version...pure emotion...and now I just found out he passed....what a sweet talented Soul.Safe Passage...Mr Bradley. ❤️🌈
John Farnham covering HELP by The Beatles is another. Even McCartney said it was a better version & how it should have been done originally. That's wicked praise right there. Can't think of any others off top of my head..
Oh, yes! I accidentally Googled Charles Bradley while typing in my own name, lol! I love his music! RIP to the Screaming Eagle of Soul, Charles Bradley!
My momma just passed away from complications from covid. She turned 53 in a hospital bed fully sedated, on a ventilator and a machine that circulated her blood for her. She fought until God said it was time to come home. It's been two weeks, but it feels like forever. This song is just as beautiful as he sang it because it hits home in many ways. Thank you for reviewing this song. She was a big fan of yours, and in turn I have become a big fan. So this a bitter sweet moment thank you.
OMG....his soul crying out, literally. Wow, just wow. That emotion he feels he's able to sing, had me choked up. My mom is going through cancer and I felt every word he sang.
This was PRIMAL! Man, it got me all the way down past my soul into my spirit. This is why I follow you, Brother Jamel... you are always giving us these hidden gems. Peace and Love, Brother.
WOW I lost my husband of forty years six years ago and for the first three years I literally screamed liked that! WOW that’s was amazing! Thanks Jamel you’re the best!
If I could like this video a million times I would. I couldn't help but shed tears throughout his whole performance. I felt what he was singing on the deepest level possible , because I lost my mother a year and a half ago from a heart attack. I'm only 21 years old. My mother, she was only 45, and raised me and my two siblings by herself working her ass off everyday just to feed us. I made it my goal in life to make her happy, but she was taken from me before I could pay her back. I'm still going through changes. Never forget to tell your mama you love her, never stay mad. Hold her tight right now, because when she's gone you're never the same.
My first album in 6th grade. This was always my favorite Sabbath song. It's had so much meaning over the years, like as I watched the love of my life fight a losing battle with cancer six years ago and then lost my 16 year old daughter in a drowning accident one year ago. Honestly, I don't think his version is any better, but not any worse.
Jamel, I saw this spectacular and very special man his last show in Seattle before he passed on. And his POWER live was just.... indescribable. His voice went through you and it was something you could feel. It was amazing.
I never knew Mr. Bradley until he sang as Krampus on American Dad. I started listening to him and he stole my heart and put fire in my soul. His version of this song knowing why it meant so much to him, it blew me away. I'm thankful we still have his music to carry us on even though he can't cheers with us. Amazing singer. One of my favorites.
Love your Aura my friend.. ✊🏼Charles popped up on UA-cam one day… I was amazed and wondered why the heck I hadn’t heard him before…. I asked Siri how old Charles was.. He had passed the day before… 🙏🏼✊🏼 Been listening often since R.I.P. ….still get those goosebumps
As a life long Black Sabbath fan, this man was absolutely meant to sing this song, Charles took an already great song created something truly special, his soul just took over and created a masterpiece, Rest Well Sir.....
I feel like even not knowing his backstory, his performance of this song would still choke me up. It's so real, so raw, there's no way it wouldn't translate. It's so beautiful, yet so melancholy.
Thank you for finally getting to the one and only Charles Bradley. Please explore more of his music. He was such an amazing performer. The man poured his heart and soul into every song. Maybe give "Loving You Baby", "Victim of Love" or "Nobody But You" a listen 🙏❤
Damn!! Yeah, we are feeling it Jamal. How can someone NOT feel this. Beautiful music isn't heard- it's felt. This song isn't an exception. Powerful to say the least.
You should check out Sharon Jones and the Dap kings. She was on the same label as Charles Bradley and boooooyyyyyeee... she could sing! She left us too but her music still lives on 💜
I can never hold back the tears every time I listen to this cover Cuz I just cant imagine the day when she will be gone from me forever never to see and hear her beautiful soul I just cant Shes my best friend :')
Soul shaking, nothing less. Every scream felt like the Lord was talking to my spirit. Thank you so much for turning me on to this, I’ll be listening to it often. Stay blessed brother💜🙏💜🤘🏿🎵💜
What courage to strip your soul bare naked in front of the whole world in order to share feelings and to accompany others who are/were on the same road. And shout out to Jamals´ deeply felt comment at the end!
He owned this song,i watched the video numerous times since i came across it. Its always been one of my fav sabbath songs. I love this version too. It hits hard when he sings it. Love it
I've watched this cover on a few reaction videos and have found myself dropping tears everytime... This is my last one! My soul needs to heal... RIP Charles Bradley.. I hope there's a heaven and you're laughing and singing this song to your mother right now.
I remember the first time I heard his version. I was absolutely floored. One of those rare times where someone covers a song and it’s kind of their song from then on.
Sometimes other people hear or see a different message in a song. What he did with this is truly inspirational. Doesn't matter whether its better or worse than the original. The song spoke to this man and he blessed us with his rendition.
Holy moly. I gave not heard that song before. This is beautifully done. I can't for one minute believe this us a black Sabbath song? Mr. Bradley killed it!!

Omg Charles passed? His Heartaches and Pain was genius.
I didnt know he died, thanks for making my day sad, lol.
I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan but Bradley really made this song his own. Amazing, powerful performance!

Bradley had a way of ripping out a person's soul and giving them something even more precious every time he sang. Such a brutal, beautiful artist.
Brutal and beautiful...I like that summary. His life was brutal but he created beauty out of it.
Im calling my mom as soon as this song is over, shes 88.
Oh, yes! I accidentally Googled Charles Bradley while typing in my own name, lol! I love his music! RIP to the Screaming Eagle of Soul, Charles Bradley!
Looks like you loved his music so much you had to put that II at the end of your name to confirm his OG status. Charles Bradley is the truth.
My momma just passed away from complications from covid. She turned 53 in a hospital bed fully sedated, on a ventilator and a machine that circulated her blood for her. She fought until God said it was time to come home. It's been two weeks, but it feels like forever. This song is just as beautiful as he sang it because it hits home in many ways.

Hope healing love has consumed you... I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️🙏
The tone of the guitar, is so complimentary, to his voice. Makes the whole experience much more.
"If you don't feel this performance, you might be souleless" lol nailed it
Charles is with his mother now loving her eternally. Rest in peace, brother.
Charles just got life. Miss his voice every day.
The Screaming Eagle! That man sang that song with every bit of himself! RIP Mr. Bradley
RIP Charles Bradley. Haven’t been able to listen to this Version since my own Mum passed last year. Thanks for doing it.
My condolences, man.
Sorry for your loss. I hope you find healing 😔
Im glad you reacted to this. This performance is FANTASTIC
SOOOOOO much soul in his voice. You could hear the pain in his voice and see the pain in his face. That was a religious experience. 🙏🙏👏👏💯
This version is so beautifully painful... you have no choice but to feel it deep inside your soul
Charles Bradley was a damn treasure. Taken from us just when we got to know him.
It was so quite in there that you could hear a tear drop.
every, every, every time I hear this... tears.
This should bring you to tears. This guy is incredible. You got to hear it without the pauses EVERYONE!!!
OMG....his soul crying out, literally. Wow, just wow. That emotion he feels he's able to sing, had me choked up. My mom is going through cancer and I felt every word he sang.
This was PRIMAL! Man, it got me all the way down past my soul into my spirit. This is why I follow you, Brother Jamel... you are always giving us these hidden gems. Peace and Love, Brother.
This rendition was nothing but pure heart and the pain of loss. A beautiful tortured soul.
Nope. Nonono. This cover wrecks me. Perfection. RIP, Charles.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give us more of this man Mel.
Agreed, whole heartedly..
Truly wonderful artist, I am constantly proselytizing about Charles Bradley's music
I lost my grandmother to cancer back in 2016 and when I hear his cover I think of her. I cry everytime I hear it. I miss her so much.
Sorry for your loss..
Thank you
Such a great cover shit hits me right in the soul
One of the greatest covers of all time! Ozzy loved this.
You can feel his feelings through his voice.
This means voice just oozes pain, sorrow & loss.
Painful goosebumps immediately.
Charles.... R.I.P. you beautiful soul you...
This version is f'ing incredible. Just takes it to another level.
Yes, Yes, Yes! I absolutely love this cover. What a soulful voice. RIP Charles.
I lost my wife Dec 23rd 2020. this song bring me to tears because it reminds me of us so much.
WOW I lost my husband of forty years six years ago and for the first three years I literally screamed liked that! WOW that’s was amazing! Thanks Jamel you’re the best!
Sorry for your loss 😔
Love this man's voice, so rough, but yet so heart rippingly beautifull. Rip.

Jamel, I saw this spectacular and very special man his last show in Seattle before he passed on. And his POWER live was just.... indescribable. His voice went through you and it was something you could feel. It was amazing.
Bradley was such a great voice, him doing this song was powerful as hell.
I had the privilege of seeing Brother Charles in a small outdoor concert in Salt Lake City. He touched my soul and I miss him.
This is real music . This man really nailed that song. RIP Charles Bradley . One of the greatest singers ever...
I LO💚E THAT "JAMES BROWN" YELL 💚
Yep. I thought of James Brown each time he screamed.
I heard he actually worked as a james brown impersonator when he was younger.
I never knew Mr. Bradley until he sang as Krampus on American Dad. I started listening to him and he stole my heart and put fire in my soul. His version of this song knowing why it meant so much to him, it blew me away. I'm thankful we still have his music to carry us on even though he can't cheers with us. Amazing singer.

Brother got that Otis, James echo in his soul, making it his own. RIP, Charles Bradley

Best cover of a Sabbath song ever. Amazing. Soul music inspired these English performers. It comes full circle. Much love.
What can be said that hasn't already...thank you for giving more light on a beautiful soul! ☮️❤️
Give his song Strictly Reserved a listen, greatness! 🔥🔥🔥
I miss Charles Bradley. What soul that man had!!
Mr Bradley is amazing. But don't overlook how great the guitar is as well. A perfect compliment.
Man his voice sends chills to the bone.
My husband has been playing this version for the past few weeks every night.
Thank you Charles...for bringing gospel and Black Sabbath together as one...music is good!
What Johnny Cash did with “Hurt”, Charles did with this song. ❤️❤️❤️
As a life long Black Sabbath fan, this man was absolutely meant to sing this song, Charles took an already great song created something truly special, his soul just took over and created a masterpiece, Rest Well Sir.....
This made me cry brother. I could feel every single word! Love and reach out to your loved ones! Thank you brother Jamel.
I feel like even not knowing his backstory, his performance of this song would still choke me up. It's so real, so raw, there's no way it wouldn't translate. It's so beautiful, yet so melancholy.
There is actually am amazing documentary about Charles Bradley - Soul of America
Thank you for finally getting to the one and only Charles Bradley. Please explore more of his music. He was such an amazing performer. The man poured his heart and soul into every song.
Maybe give "Loving You Baby", "Victim of Love" or "Nobody But You" a listen 🙏❤
I always have a hard time not getting tears when listening to his rendition of this song
Still get chills to this day when I hear this song. RIP
Damn....The chills just covered me wholly with his cover of this classic! What a great version....You don't just hear the song....you feel it !
Damn!! Yeah, we are feeling it Jamal. How can someone NOT feel this. Beautiful music isn't heard- it's felt. This song isn't an exception. Powerful to say the least.
This is one of the best coversnive ever heard. It tears me up everytime I hear it man is a powerful soul singer
This is an outstanding cover.
You should check out Sharon Jones and the Dap kings. She was on the same label as Charles Bradley and boooooyyyyyeee... she could sing! She left us too but her music still lives on 💜
She was on an episode of Netflix's Luke Cage too.
@@artheisenbergscourier5726 oh how cool! Glad her music has been spread around.
RIP to Brother Charles Bradley. Was very fortunate to see him a handful of times and he was an incredible performer 🙏🏼

I am at a loss for words - so I'm just gonna say "Thank you Charles Bradley, for sharing this masterpiece with us." RIP...
Now all my days are filled with tears
Wish I could go back and change these years
Man this song always makes me she’s some tears when I hear him. R.I.P. You couldn’t be more right.
This song already meant the world to me. He made this sound like it makes me feel when I hear it. Right in the heart!!
Soul shaking, nothing less. Every scream felt like the Lord was talking to my spirit. Thank you so much for turning me on to this, I’ll be listening to it often. Stay blessed brother💜🙏💜🤘🏿🎵💜

I know that pain myself when my Dad left for Brighter Shores, still miss Him, guess I always will until I set sails myself. Great review Jamel. ✌️
Lost my dad 11 years ago next month. Sending you some love broski 💛
Huge Sabbath fan here. This is the best cover of a Black Sabbath song that I’ve ever heard.
Man this song had me in tears last night. In a way I relate to it because of the changes we all have had to go through the last year.
What courage to strip your soul bare naked in front of the whole world in order to share feelings and to accompany others who are/were on the same road.

Yes bro ty I always try to get a react to this , the soul in this amazing. Might be my favorite cover.
Blessed to have seen him live at the 2013 Love Supreme Jazz Festival
One of the reason I love reaction videos is because its like listening to a new song with your friend or family.
Such pure, raw emotion. You can feel the anguish in his voice.
There is music in this world that will grab your heart and make you listen
I've watched this cover on a few reaction videos and have found myself dropping tears everytime... This is my last one! My soul needs to heal... RIP Charles Bradley.. I hope there's a heaven and you're laughing and singing this song to your mother right now.

One of the best covers of all time. This particular performance is incredibly powerful and i can’t believe you reacted to it. So awesome.
