    I saw Charles perform live shortly before his death. Never heard of him or his music before that day. His concert truly changed my life. His voice, the way he carried himself, and all the love he gave to his music and a total group of strangers truly touched my heart. I've never heard a musician with so much passion in their voice before. After knowing his struggles and his story, I have nothing but an even deeper respect for him as a man.

    I'm going to show how ignorant I've been now but never have I found an artist by chance, absolutely loved every piece of music I hear from them, then found out that they had already passed, then been so interested to look into their life, checked out interviews and been so moved and saddened by someone I only just discovered.
    I regret that I didn't find him sooner, but what a talent.

    Charles lived his music. It seems like poverty, pain, losses, and sadness made him want to connect deeply with his music, audience and people in general. I feel joy and connection to human spirit, not money, made this man shine brighter in life and his music made him who he became.

  • @vincentcastrillo3914

    Sometimes when I listen to CB, I picture a time traveler from 1971 coming to the future and instead of seeing the mess we keep getting into and the shit stain we call a culture, he first hears Bradley's music and thinks "oh yeah, still all good, right on schedule". I feel like an Otis Redding type titan made it quietly through the 60s to now, absorbing 50 years more ammo for the blues and then unleashed it in his last years. What a sweet thought. Great music.
