Charles Bradley - The World (Is Going Up In Flames)

[@larrythelobster1595]

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 🙏🏾🙌🏾 ❤️

Shut up. He passed away!? No way!!!!! Discovered him because of Suits in 2011 playing his song in an episode. Love ever since
