CHARLES BRADLEY // DINOSAUR JR. :: "HEART OF GOLD"

Live at the Bowery Ballroom, New York City, NY on December 5th 2015.
RIP CHARLES BRADLEY
"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Charles Bradley.
Always a fighter, Charles battled cancer with everything he had. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer in the fall of 2016 and underwent treatment. Bradley headed out on the road earlier this year after receiving a clean bill of health but the cancer recently returned, spreading to his liver.
Born on November 5, 1948 in Gainesville, FL, Charles then moved to Brooklyn, NY at the age of 8. He lived across the country throughout his life including Maine, Alaska and two decades in the Bay Area before returning to New York City, his home for the last 20 years. Bradley passed away in Brooklyn on September 23, 2017, surrounded by family and friends including members of the bands he worked closely with: Menahan Street Band, His Extraordinaires, Budos Band and the Jimmy Hill Allstarz-his band from his time performing as Black Velvet.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the following organizations:
- All-Stars Project: allstars.org
- Music Unites: www.musicunites...
Thank you for your prayers during this difficult time. Mr. Bradley was truly grateful for all the love he’s received from his fans and we hope his message of love is remembered and carried on."

Charles didn’t sing with his mouth. He sang with his entire soul. He is so missed. 🖤

[@GREG62944]

Rock the blues

[@drewa1999]

This is the best Neil Young cover of all time! And the most bizarre thing Dino has ever done!

[@Domkid118]

This is the greatest musical infusion ever

[@laundry1799]

I never would have expected it but it works so well

[@SurfingBullDog]

No disrespect to the legend Neil Young, but I think I dig Charles Bradley’s version better than the original!

[@GREG62944]

Rock, Country blues

[@jameswarnock4863]

R.I.P. Brother. You were an amazing soul put on this Earth for a reason. You definitely left an impression on us.🙏 Thank you

[@benasslick67]

J Mascis is just looking at Bradley the entire time in awe.

[@harry012197]

Ben Asslick I would like to see j cover this as well

[@pungeon]

he's watching to know when to change chords, the phrasing of the verses makes it hard to play this song. plus he's in awe.

[@seanclarke8255]

@@pungeon yeah the way Charles sings this tune he really floats around the groove. You can hear J get caught off guard by it at the start of the second verse haha

[@Just_Ve]

What a Legend he was, so sad that we lost him.

[@phile3741]

didn't realize that CB was gone until I saw this video. RIP

[@Just_Ve]

yep, it is really sad, I went to his concert twice, he was amazing.

[@walterreese6647]

Pulling my heart string...rip my brother

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

At least he got to have a brief taste of fame in his later years before the time for him to explore a musical career, full time, ran out.

[@drewa1999]

The horn in place of the harmonica boosts the super soul vibe!

[@thousandhearts.]

He called him The Screaming Eagle of Soul :3

[@BootlegFightVideo]

Great pairing Dinosaur Jr. knows how to be his band.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Thought they completely and totally ruined the entire performance with that overbearing noise.

[@Anton-xh5ii]

It’s Gospel baby

[@leviathanbathory6903]

None better

[@johanakermyr1437]

Tuning the saxophone?

[@atoms4sail]

Why is the sax playing lead guitar and jay on rhythm

[@gabeanzek3148]

probably how Charles originally recorded the cover

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

He didn't think it was loud and disjointed enough.

[@EzequielPestanianena]

No fuzz? Wow

[@versnellingspookie]

They probably wanted to spare Charles a bit. Also, it might not make sense in context of the song

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Man the band sucks so very much! Stomped all over this and left him no place.
