[UltraDOG17]

Kinda sound like James Brown in our timeline. It's so welcoming to hear this type of sound back in "an age of the wack & the copycats" nowadays. It's fresh! Thumbs up!

[loris749]

[cassidy542]

I got here by accident but damn he has talent

[antonioviolas]

Very Good music blues / jazz............

[Psycho420x]

Good taste in music brought me here.

[vintagevibekeyboards]

O.V Wright is smiling- this is perhaps the last great American soul singer. This man should be honored by all. I know for one I am in awe of this artist ,band and label for making this real. Could have come straight out of Memphis , a Hi records label masterpiece.

[MoinMoinSir]

I wanna hear the mix with LEFT BOY !!!NOW!!!

[cartman1066]

Really should have watched Top Boy if it would have let me find this guy earlier

[basslove3200]

God bless daptone records... Doing it right.

[andrejohnstone1]

If you only heard of this guy from Top Boy then perhaps you have a job, a wife, kids & a life, perhaps u even pay taxes, but enjoy good music when u hear it but ain't got time to sift through every piece of s**t that comes out.

So get off your high horse & enjoy the music.

[Ariadnimusiclover]

[Lion4888]

Top Boy ~ Shazam ~ listening to this classic every other day !! #Nicceee

[MrJdfineline3]

Top Boy - Shazam - Now Im Here - Copy & Paste URL - Youtube Converter - Download - Sync iPhone = Makin commuting on public transport that little bit bearable :P

[jamafrican657]

If you haven't heard of this guy before top boy then your a fickle mainstream sycophant who needs to stop waiting for delights like this guy to find his way to the front shelf and actually do a bit of digging for yourselves once in your life.

[cliffanthony1]

Thanks Top Boy. Great show., great tune.

[wilozey]

Thanks top boy

[fossilfuelmusic]

[neoprana]

that a music that touch my soul so fuck off

[BrooklynBred5]

Wooooooooo All I Gotta Say



[dejaentendu247]

7 people smell like poo.

[jameshungrydego]

This is one of my favorite artist. Charles Bradley is keepin it real. No plastic Lady Gaga or Brittany Spears here. Just great musicianship combined with raw, dirty, stripped down, honest and beautiful soul music. All of it sung from the heart and his real life experiences. Enjoy.

[tylerchhatesyou]

Too much godamn soul! i fucking love it.

[Cobhammar]

not usually into this type of stuff, but this is killer

[lilDeon661]

A skate video brought me here :D

[misterobvious]

Quality. Honest. Gritty.



[Phill1478963]

Suits brought me here. 

[MissGharbinia]

@Phill1478963  i heart harvey

[poh86]

thumbs up if suits brought you here!

[rustyshite]

music like this could hopefully save the world, but humans are too far past that. let's all live for the moment and get down to charles bradley. a diamond in the rough.

[brittany3228]

sounds like hospital bed by coldwar kids

[rustyshite]

@brittany3228 you mean cold war kids sound like this.

[bailinhodajojo]

this is absolutely the bollocks

[kassandra0412]

soul straight from the <3

[davidwesson2107]

you can see the pain on his face now this is soul !!!!!!!!!!

[Prophetu]

Who the hell dislikes this? this song is so good it hurts!

[wiesbadener1988]

yess

life`s always unfair....

dont give up the hope

[MrThetruth89]

What the hell is wrong with youtube? Why in the hell would there be a dislike button on this song !

[vspec20026]

Alot of Soul, very emotional, Great song!!

[Shawnruss]

Lots of soul, quite cheesy though.

[YogeyThaYogetta]

My new theme song

I instantly fet this one

[AlohaBay]

404,404 views yay!

[hijkl12]

This is some real blues for yo ass. Some good throw back flava here.

[alexrmilani]

Realmente muito bom esse clip, quando escutei a primeira vez este video ja achei muito bom e agora viciei neste som e no timbre da voz dele , realmente bom, nao conhecia CHARLES BRADLEY antes achei seu video por acaso, e simplesmente ja estou me tornando um fanatico por suas musicas e sua historia! Pena aqui no BRASIL a gente nao conhecer muito ele e nem termos oportunidade de conhecer ele mas muito boas suas musicas!

[oktopete]

heard it on the radio.. it went straight to my fav's

[blitzgawd]

brilliant



[teanlong]

THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE, SCROLL UP AGAIN

[saled44]

like if this is fitting today

[hempolics]

Finally a black man giving us some real shit

Real lyrics

Go on

Smash that shit!

[ImClearlyCanadian]

I saw him in Montreal at Osheaga and he was excellent

[bio2lenta]

So beautiful it made me cry.

[lesherbs]

He's fantastically amazing! "Classic" Soul in 2011 - what a mindblasting experience!

Simply great!

[theradiorahimshow]

I am so proud to have produced so my shows with him, he is a man of honor, indeed he is channeling the late great James Brown. IF you ever get a chance to see his show you will see what i mean.

[iralez]

Big Respect from south Poland !

[theradiorahimshow]

My MAN SINCE 2005 WE BEEN TOURING IN DENVER COLO

[osovagabundo1]

find of the year- soul full and true. its muscle shoals and 1971 all over again

[MizPersnicket]

He is AMAZING. If Otis Redding and James Brown had a love child it would be Charles. Dude has pipes. I'm shocked that he's never released a full length LP until now. He should be a household name by now! Guess it's never too late!

[helloandhello]

Can't wait to see him perform at outside lands in SF

[crystal69robert]

he's singing the truth from his point of view...

[DestroySweater]

gotta make it rain....UHHHH!

[negotrendz]

this song is so fucking amazing, thumbs up if u think this shit is awesome!

[CitylinefilmsHD1]

Its funny how cool this video is but how half the crew who helped out never got credit

[ukfirebird]

saw charles live tonight and although seeing him on you tube is great, nothung can prepare you for the emtion in his voice when you hear him live, he was outstanding!

[ElevatedMooD]

...incredible...gorgeous.... I don´t know what to say right now....

I heard his music yesterday the first time.... after two videos I said to my brother... that is the best music I´ve ever heard!!!

If I had to choose only ONE artist for the rest of my life...the chosen ONE is HE....

--> GOD BLESS HIM <--

[WilburyVision]

I was blessed to come across Charles at a recent music festival in Arras, France. He was a real joy to watch, and the band were wonderful too - real music! Thank you Charles - I am so glad you had the determination to keep going with music. You have shared so much love with us all - thank you.

[zYnology]

Tell it like it is Charlie B. Xlent bro

[teuhm]

The world is a golden topic, but leave the babies out of it please!

[kwabe86]

Mr Brown had a brother!



[agmpconcerts]

Charles Bradley plays his debut London headline show on Thursday 7th July at Islington Academy.

Daptone favourites THE BUDOS BAND are also on the bill. Who's coming along?

[MATCHINGMOLE1]

@agmpconcerts NOT his debut - he opened last night (06-07-11) at The Barbican for SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS and was fantastic. A REAL find!

[BotheredHat]

@agmpconcerts ME!! It's going to be awesome.

[BEASARTS]

WOW!!!!!

[capleton48]

5 people have no soul

[kco2245]

[cocochanell7]

[EvoRonEternal]

[ALfaDuB101]

This restores my faith in modern music, brilliant!!

[onevoiceboom]

Real music!!! Big respect

[whitessx]

Now that's some music!

[songstreszz]

[BMWMTEAM1]

KEEP THE SOUL MUSIC ALIVE

DOC-K

[icehouse1112]

"The Sreamin Eagle of Soul" sounds so much like James Brown, but he makes the hooks his b/c he's singin his LIFE n no 1elses n he tells his story so amazingly. Thanks 4 keepin real SOUL/BLUES around.

[AriseDstcrewEastLA]

mr.wayans

[Rossoneri205]

He's playing at Roskilde Festival this year. I can't wait to see him perform live :o

[labaaby1]

I'm loving his voice and this song! I gotta get tour info. I want tix to wherever this man's gonna be!

[thesinester83]

Love this song!!!

[SleepyDoughnut]

It feels both disgusting and appropriate that Rebecca Black is a related video, giving the song title

[jmurdaj]

wowwwwwww. i have no words. its sad it took all these years for sum1 to come out with some real music. james brown was prolly the last person to SANG like this. this is true talent. not no studio singing. i luv my funk, blues, and soul and he is the truth. him and raphael saadiq need to make a song together. r kelly has songs like this too. luv it!!

[Somethingaboutjazzy]

I love this song !

[MagicStarER]

TELL "EM, CHARLES! YEAH!!! 

[TheLukieBoi1]

Can anyone suggest some similar artists to this ? With that old 60's / 70's soul sound...

[polishdog90]

@TheLukieBoi1 Aloe Blacc, Mayer Hawthorne, Jamie Lidell, and Raphael Saadiq all bring the soul vibes.

[THESUPREMEPLATE]

@TheLukieBoi1 the new birth, b.t. express, isaac hayes,

[americansailorman]

Holy Cow! Best song I've heard since listening to my Otis Redding CD!!!! CLASSIC (CLASSY) SOUND!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!
