This world is colder without him here.

[Badfish]

This is the kind of music we've all been missing, truthful, honest, and real. Rest in peace my brother.

Love this song, Bradley was underrated. Literally not one bad song from this guy.

[MrTastytae]

No more heartaches and pain, Charles. Rest well.

[jonathanmillner]

I just like how you can just tell Charles's life has been so hard. Some people wear it on their sleeves. Some have the thousand yard stare. Mr. Bradley sings it like an angel.

[stclemmons]

Knowing that his brother was really killed, it just rips me up when he sings "your brother is gone!" then lets it rip.

[JeremyGould-qw]

His voice hugs you're heart and tells you it'll be alright.

[Levelprod]

He amazes me every time I watch him. Its almost like hes losing his brother all over again every time he performs this track. Its seems he's revisiting that horrible memory and it really comes through. Theres been alot of great people/bands that have come along in music through the years but I feel he is most definitely one of the most authentic things to happen to music since janis joplin. I also think people that appreciate his sound definitely understand the true definition of "good music"

This Man was a alchemist, he could turn pure pain and emotion into the most beautiful sounds.

[introvertedstoner]

The bass player is amazing in this band. Damn I want to experience this live for myself. Charles Bradley live shows seem like quite the experience.

[samdorsalis]

The whole song from the beginning to the end brings to mind that painting by Munch called " the scream"(1893)😮

[samdorsalis]

Man thats what we call " crying one's heart out" thanx hearfully!😊

[brivido]

I want everything. I want to play trumpet like that dude in the band; I want to cry listening to his songs; I want to invite him over to Norway for some gigs; I want listen and listen; I want to write songs like he does; I want to believe in time coz Bradley recorded his first LP last year when he was 63 god-damn!

[MrFredRacer]

What a great singer. I'm so sad that he passed. Keep it up wherever you are!

[sashalima]

[leejohnson]

[TarantulaTattoo]

[zmk]

Any musican never made in me soo deep feels, sometimes when i focus on his music I droping few tears

[oldsoularcher]

Charles exemplifies the true definition of soul, what a tremendous display of emotion and compassion for what he does. A true artist in my book. The trumpet player is truly amazing the way he plays that horn makes my foot stomp, The face. haha
