Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@juanromero9815]

True story. I just discovered this jewel. I texted my son and said to him; we are going to go and see him!! He asked me; is he still alive?? I googled it and found out that he had passed in 2017. What a sad disappointment.

[@itsalliKnowreggea]

Brotha, I just discovered this as well. tonight. Feel you.

[@phenominalblak9797]

VERY sad indeed. I discovered his music a couple of years ago. To learn that he had passed was a true disappointment….. same goes for for Sharon Jones of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Both WERE PHENOMENAL talents that didn’t got exposure until late in life.

[@joelmatari6937]

I Just discover in 2024. Believe me, I Love him so much and unhappy 'couse couldnt hear this before 😢

[@bayouboyentertainment2106]

He essentially didn't get his flowers until very late in his life 2011 I believe so most people didn't get to enjoy his presence before he passed.

[@RdG-ll6dz]

😢Nooo....and I just knew from your comment. It was on my wishlist when visiting the U.S. may he rest in peace ... We'll keep him alive by listening to these jewels!

[@xanthirudha]

so much soul,could save a robot

[@pelotasdad]

Jonas Kgomo killer comparison....

[@xanthirudha]

thanks alot ,appreciated :)

[@PHJoy]

It's time for a heavy dose of Charles Bradley brand soul like never before

[@brentcraft4340]

Best comment of all time🤣

[@moihawk666]

hehehehe

[@zikabuk]

His voice makes me want to cry. I was so sad to discover this man's music and then learn that he died 4 months earlier. What a strange feeling... Can't wait to watch the documentary about him. Thanls to Big Mouth for making me discover his beautiful music.

[@dirtymoog]

It hurts so bad

[@thebeardeddove]

but at the same time it is heart warming to know that he spent the last years of his life knowing he had been sucessful doing what he wanted to do. A better fate that growing very old and losing the ability to do what you used to love doing. What a legend.

[@threalismaradona9899]

same I was damn need to see this soul live but he had been gone

[@phenominalblak9797]

Watching him perform “Changes” live hit me HARD….😢. Wish he and Sharon Jones were still with us.

[@fourTWENTYboyzTV]

rest in peace charles bradley

[@josh0g]

I remember listening to this performance on the radio during my lunch break. What a genuine, loving person, and an amazing performer on top of it all. He will be so missed.

[@johnnich7654]

Damn he died? What a genuine loss to music. I'm glad he got to taste fame before it ended, that guy worked hard to get where he got and you could feel it in his music man. So much gahdamn soul and raw emotion. Fuck.

[@mattgiordano2262]

No way!...I just found out about this because of your comment...that's so sad. Wow I wanted to see him perform. One day maybe I will in another place...

[@dmctorun]

@Nunya Business So many folks chuckled in sad agreement ...and then was immediately embarrassed by the thought and filled with guilt by the smile you forced on them. Take this up-vote that so many wasn't willing to share. Oh.. and RIP CB.

[@daves4645]

He died?? I just discovered him.....nooooooooooo.

[@maxquintanilla9511]

"changes" is pure soul, not only the genre, but real soul in the shape of a song.

[@philzimmerman2071]

Im crying my eyes out watching this. For all the beauty of this incredible man and for the sadness that he died far too soon. But his music and spirit will live forever and inspire so many people.

[@ythalorossy]

I am here because KZbin suggested Charles Brandley to me. I am feeling so upset because this is the first time that I am listening his songs. Amazing music, Amazing singer!

[@robertm4050]

Watching this guy makes me want to cry. Named my daughter Charlie after him. Watch his documentary. This guy was amazing.

[@breckflanagan-caldwell7311]

Where's his doc?

[@victorteixeiramaia5416]

Extraordinary!! One of the greatest singers that ever stepped on this planet for sure! Rest in peace Charles.

[@davidrosenow1818]

Couldn't have said it better

[@jackuhuru]

18:17 this version of "Changes" makes me cry !

[@dusk108show]

Every freaking time.

[@ledinochat]

I wept. As Tin Man once said : ‘’Now I know I’ve got a heart because it is breaking.’’

[@RealBradMiller]

@@ledinochat I say the same thing about my brain. :)

[@Mredanreyful]

He is not sweating, he is crying with his entire body. SUCH EMOTION AND INTENSITY.

[@jj-eg5up]

We all say that.

[@AndyVodicka]

Charles Bradley is one of the greatest artists of all time--a late bloomer (Born in 1948) Charles grew up in poverty and was a journeyman moving often and working a number of different jobs in different cities-- he moved back to Brooklyn New York where his mom lived in 1996. Daptone records found Charles and recorded and released his 1st and tremendously successful album "No Time For Dreaming" in 2011--Charles was then age 63 years old!! I was lucky enough to see Charles Bradley perform live at Festival Internationale De Lafayette in Lafayette Louisiana, and at the New Orleans jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans. His music reflects his life long journey! RIP Charles Bradley

[@RodrigoSantos-oj2cq]

The true meaning of SOUL Music, R.I.P Charles, forever remembered.

[@marcelodiniz1274]

Thanks KEXP to keep this man alive forever!!!! Thanks Mr. Charles Bradley!!!

[@lawrencestringer2066]

Seeing this saint live was a priority the minute I first heard his music a few years ago, absolutely gut-wrenching it never happened but sets like this are a massive step to making up for it. One of the most underrated performers of his generation and deserves to go down as a legend. Rest in peace sir, I can assure you my children will hear your music

[@mortenhansen3455]

It's called soul music, because we are not robots. We are not zero's and one's. Why feel. We mote AND emote

[@scot0151]

This performance and a glass of whiskey is the way to bring in a new day.

[@でなしろく]

夢を与えるのは残酷だけど 夢のない世界ってどうなの？って彼の声をきいて思います。 こんな聴かせる力のある歌声 本当に尊敬する。 長生きしてほしかった。

[@gadget00]

that last song was incredible! the guy is a treasure in this times of soulless sounds

[@CincoTNews]

Best fucking cover of Black Sabbath ever made.

[@Sabrina-963]

💚💚💚

[@TheTrueReiniat]

So much soul he's melting before our very eyes.

[@mattgiordano2262]

I can't believe this LEGEND is gone...what an incredible singer, performer, and most of all person. I come back to this performance every few months to be reminded of how great he was. I wish I had the chance to see him live...

[@grungil7570]

One of best discoveries i made in 2022, so far. Thanks KEXP.

[@ohudshow]

Charles was a thrully poet: he din't feel fear in demonstrate your love: he expressed the love freeless

[@munoz055]

I was listening to his album Changes one day and suddenly just started crying. I felt his soul through his music. I then decided that I wanted to name my kid Charlie. Rest in peace Charles you were a beautiful human

[@edisonculajay5213]

This man was and still a beautiful soul.

[@mysteryhombre81]

RIP king

[@alanarguello435]

Acabo de darme cuenta recién hoy, gracias a este hombre y su historia, que el verdadero motivo... Ni la familia, ni la plata, ni tampoco la cobardía... Por el cual todavía no me suicidé, es que todavía no haya creado música significante para mi y quien pueda oír. Vivir y resistir hasta poder haber realizado mi sueño. Descansa en paz.

[@Infested_Terran]

Get well soon Charles! This world needs you!!

[@bigreremy1514]

RIP CHARLES BRADLEY🕊🕊🕊

[@martinlatvian5538]

Oh, Charles doesn't just rest in peace or silence. He rests in His songs always alive.

[@MockyRock]

from 4:54 to 5:09 gives you an insight to this man you have to love. What a fella.

[@jonattan08mendoza]

Can't believe he's gone !😭😢 He might be in a better place for sure!! Thanks to life for letting us enjoy his beautiful voice ! 🙏🙏

[@zakryersbach5264]

Rest easy beautiful. You are bathed in the light of total love. You are missed.

[@KRAKEN91O]

Too much soul for this earth, we're not worthy I imagine god is really enjoying himself now, cant wait.

[@jhandel6415]

How I would have liked to have seen him live. He deserved every bit of success he had, and more. What he did with "Changes" is just amazing. He's with his Ma now.

[@nickfenstermaker5936]

Damn I get tears listening to him, miss him

[@gunkmasterflex942]

Charles Bradley is and will forever be an outstanding artist. ARTIST! thank you for everything! thank you for "Changes" I hope you're with your mother smiling down on all of us. thank you.

[@MegaM563]

This sound engineer nailed it! Wel will miss you Charles

[@kellysvihus113]

I feel my legs give out everytime he sings. RIP to the Screamin' Eagle of Soul.

[@jorgeamaral80]

Hay canciones que me conmueven hasta la médula, pero "Changes" es de esas que logran hacerme llorar

[@jaimebalderas8297]

Es un cover de Black Sabbath

[@jorgeamaral80]

@@jaimebalderas8297 Lo sé, y me gusta más que la versión original

[@hunterthompson6574]

Even in your passing you stir and inspire emotion Mr Bradley thank you for your contribution to the arts 🙌🏻

[@chrissandoval7675]

i have no doubt that as the years pass, his legend will grow to what it deserves to be. rip my lord.

[@NunoRosas]

Obrigado Charles Bradley! Agradeço por nos permitir ouvir sua arte, mesmo em outra língua, apesar de entender, não há quem não se emocione. Obrigado!

[@yonkipop]

RIP Friend of us!!! great performancer and singer,,,RIP Charly!!!!

[@RealBradMiller]

Every instance I have seen him sing this song it seems he is reliving an exact moment in which he draws that soul and story.

[@hoon4tw]

Blessed be the soul of Charles Bradley. He was beaten down most of his life and eventually found his point of content and a short order of redemption (it seems). God rest his soul because he gave a lot of himself in his life. I wish Charles Bradley had a few more years to share his brilliance with us.

[@bulldoginformatica]

A real singer!!

[@TheGhostPanel]

He has a classic style obviously, yet it feels fresh and pertinent. It sounds like the music of the times.

[@mightyturkeyneck1349]

I would never have thought that Black Sabbath's "Changes" could be reimagined as a deep soul number... & I would be dead wrong. Charles Bradley OWNS this song the way that Johnny Cash owns "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails.

[@mpianalto]

Paul Snider I had exactly the same thought first time I heard him do Changes. I’m a bit late to the party.

[@lucianogaldino2391]

The King Charles

[@antonelloditano1744]

I love this performance

[@Wakeupgrandowl]

I wish I could have felt this in person.

[@earthamessenger3149]

LOVE !!! Him !!! Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires !

[@antoinebelan9368]

31 december 2020: I listen to Charles for the first time in 2011 and have always found his live performances stunning! Not a fan so I listen to him through youtube only a few times per year. While listening to him today I was as usual loving it ! I wanted to see him live at the end of this pandemic and decided to check his wikipedia and discovered his story and also his death... 2020 has been tough. Rest In Peace and thanks for your talent and music Charles.

[@felix4093]

i got chills all over

[@jo997]

4:53 The moment of a beautiful smile and a genuine happiness. Capture it.

Impressionante... isso é música! Fugindo da pandemia C19 por alguns minutos, música de qualidade sempre bem-vinda. Um forte abraço as pessoas de bom gosto musical! Anápolis-Goiás, Alguém?

[@brunosantana5790]

Bruno Santana diretamente de Salvador-BA, ouvindo esse monstro!

[@formlessval]

This guy knew his time was coming, what you are experiencing is a man at the end of his life that feels so accomplished, the best he could have done despite his age is giving all his remaining love as he is so grateful to be there. This is my first time seeing this and I am totally magnetized to his soul, pain and music. Its truly a piece of art.

[@davegbro]

What a legend.

[@ave423]

Got in on knowing about the Screamin' Eagle of Soul a bit late. Just a couple of years ago. What a fucking powerhouse! I miss this man and never knew him. RIP Mr Bradley. Thank you KEXP for giving us these awesome performers and performances. Amplifier Joe Average. I support listener powered radio.
