Lord only knows how many times I've watched this and miss this man. He could have had done so much more but God wanted Him home more 😥

[Davemountain-rpid]

I love that there's still a man with soul still preforming.

[loudoge]

I could literally listen to this all day.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Bradley🎙🎶

Charles Bradley is the kind of man that is, unfortunately, a dying breed in this world.  SING IT CHAAAARLES.

People watching this should be far from upset, disappointed, jealous...Charles Bradley is one of the few who are bringing back a generation of music that changed history. This music speaks love, peace, sadness, prosperity...ups, downs...this music can encapsulate all of the feelings we've had throughout our time. More artists need to go this direction :)

Oh my, this man is incredible. The lyrics are so straightforward and from the heart. He is not occupied with being pretentious but speaks from the heart. I only recently discovered you sir, thanks for being you and putting your heart out there. Rest in peace brother.

someone please turn on the mike of the backing singers jaja

[mindmurder]

This song to me has meaning. It makes me think of my two boys. I would want them to push forward after I'm gone. I don't want them to stop for me or because of me.

[Courageouswolftarot]

He is my inspiration for pursuing this crazy dream that I have! Amen Charles and Bless you!

[ominousmaximus]
