Grungy Gaye Gets It On

[lev0n3241968]

It's one thing to be a white person at The Apollo. It's another to be looking disheveled. To be both and win this Apollo crowd only seconds into his performance is just crazy! He did though.

[lavashamosley]

this never gets old i remember watchn this lol i LOVE it

[SeniorMojo]

S.O.U.L.

[goodmusic11102011]

[dtbrowder]

AWESOME! wonder what he is doing now?

[hlikes]

Awesome! :-)

[dleet101]

A White man singing like that Dam, Marvin would be proud of him, He is getting it on at the Apollo, I'm a Black Man and I can't sing shit, I wonder if he would teach me. Lets get it on ah baby lets get it on,

[eatmytwinkie]

he should go on the show "the voice"

[thework4444]

The future is unity, it can happen tomorrow.

[TheEssence1987]

[catanan]

I wished I just heard the audio

[fezthecat1]

[TopHat]

24 people don't have as much soul as this guy... Keep rockin', Brad.

[LuLu1965]

[hotahota27]

the man is singing from his heart, which is pretty rare to find from singers these days.....he must have been really horny.

[daddyoca69]

[jwh1999]

Nick Nolte's son lol

[lindseyreine1]

couldn't they have at least cleaned him up a little bit?

[tiana1017]

@lindseyreine1 i think they had him come out like that on purpose as a gimmick

[MultiGuillard]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooW AMAZING

[Cigarboy73]

Elton John n Bruce willis........2 in 1 !!!!

[richardcavell]

He has great vocal control. Good on him for having the confidence to belt that out.

[cusick6364]

This is raw tallent at its best!! Im glad the auidence can get past his appearence and really LISTEN to him!! I live in NYC and ive sen this guy in a few bars around the Village..Bleecker St, that area and THIS IS his real voice!!! Its really amazin' when he starts singin!!

[CARNELLZxoxoLADY]

I Love thiis ever since the first time i've seen it i cant qet it out of my head .

Thiis quy killed it . In a qood way lOl

2 thumbs up and 100000 stars !

[Zasmine]

[MrsD7777]

*LOL* Did he REALLY want somebody to "Git-it-Onnn" wit Him? Does he Really Got-to-Git it? :P

[tshirt214]

He's GREAT in that Killers' video. My new favorite holiday video. Definitely check it out!!

[cunterkooter]

black folks be funny

[notoriousb3nni]

lol big dude at 1;26 feelin it like its marv G himself ..hahaha

[ridemfast55]

Grungy Gaye....lol! Dude can sing though.

[MrDdrmr]

This is "Super Bad Brad" , the Jukebox man. I checked with the Apollo and they, reluctantly, told me he really does live in a cardboard box, has some mental issues, and a LOT of talent!

[dijonisdman]

@MrDdrmr have you seen the documentary on him? its amazing...check it out

[RideThatSymphonyHome]

@dijonisdman Ya, and he's in The Killers' video for their new Christmas charity single called 'Boots'!...he's great!...check it out! :)

[dodamers]

@Draigo69 YOU need to wake the fuck up buddy!! Because this is what life's about!! Finding something you're passionate about!!

[mooshimashiroom]

eric clapton + bruce willis = brad prowley

[draigo69]

such a set up .....people need to wake the f*** up

[QnzkiddGrimeyy]

Dont let the looks fool you!!!

[TerneroBill]

amo este video!!

[FUJIWALOVER]

懐かしい。。。リアルタイムで観てたよ。

[DAVIDSILVERCA]

He wins for most surprising version of "Let's Get it On" since Jack Black in "Hi Fidelity."

[pkzathruz]

anyone who doesn't think this guy is a plug is an idiot!

[OneWayRoad]

it's not bruce willis retards

[junghesse]

nice karaoke, but truly speaking this guy is not even 50% of the original, not authentical, nor unique at all - just tryin to make some pseudo-blues

[2handsforchrist]

@junghesse truthfully speaking I think this guy has great stage presence, and your assumption that he's trying to be the original is totally off of the mark. no one can be Marvin Gaye but Marvin Gaye. He sang this song and sang it pretty well for having not quite the voice to really carry the song.

[danspare]

this is Bruce Willis 100%. It was in the New York Times.

[paulyicecubes]

@danspare LOL he does look like Bruce Willis, but his name's Brad Prowly, and it wasn't in the NY Times. He's fairly well known street performer and has other videos on here.

[freedomisrising]

The "look" looks like it's on purpose to me. I may be wrong. It doesn't matter. When everybody was shocked that Susan Boyle could sing I was incredibly pissed off. Everybody made such a big deal and acted so shocked like "OMG How could somebody who's not young and thin and wearing make up have a voice?! Isn't that illegal??" What the hell does talent have to do with what you look like? Really people.

[xxmarines1xx]

wow great voice but maybe a bath?

[mvrsolutions1]

Haven't seen this in a while...

Just got to watch it once every few months to lift my spirits.

[jedccs]

Holy Crap I just got a Boner!

[Sabiano]

this cat got some black poontang after the show, for sure!

[Vegheadsrock]

They heckle him because he looks like a bum. They love his talent. He dressed like that on purpose. He knew they were not going to boo him. He is great.

[bokjailee]

This is Bruce Willis......

[aznboiXIII]

he has the passion he has the voice. he's also got the SEXY-NESS!

[BunniBaDd]

lmmfao

[audreybear1997]

Wow he was like the first susan boyle.

[bingbong1234510]

1:59 is funnnny. ooooooooo

[Newyorkgurl20]

its not about the way this man sings,he really cant sing,its the song that brings people together to sing this song,trust me this guy would have been got booed singing something else

[GoSkinsAndCeltics358]

@Newyorkgurl20 your a moron

[Newyorkgurl20]

@GoSkinsAndCeltics358 Why am I a moron? lol its the truth.come on have you watched apollo when you were young,im 25 and I used to watch it everytime it came on and guess what people that sung the following werent booed. CHRUCH(GOD) music, and a OLDIE song unless it was whitney houston

[2gritty]

wow u never kno lol

[MrBuncook]

Super Bad Brad t-shirts for sale on Ebay!!!! These are from the '01 Fun Lovin' Criminals tour!

[andre180364]

this guy is stunning....wonderful vocals

[fishandfestival]

He looks like a trash can but sings like a diamond.

[fishandfestival]

A man with this much talent shouldn't look the way he does...He could have a gold or platinum album, with the right producer and manager behind him.

[dlsa6mono]

@fishandfestival take a look in the mirror.fuckin a holes. typical to judge someone with so much talent to be grouped with a bunch of loser americans.we wish we could get what he has. we war just to try.grow up fishandfestival.

[kralle7611]

he looks like nick nolte

[jmrobinson81]

@kralle7611 HAHAHA

[matlock12c]

BALLS! this MAN has EM'!

Thats a TUFF ROOM for a WHITE BOY to go sing SOUL in...

[cheyennebritbrat]

HELPPPPP i think ive got the hots for him

[DreamsToDespair]

Amazing rendition.

[fielong17]

How is this man allowed to be homless with such fucking talent!!!

Il buy your cd homeless man!!!

[ChadALambert]

I think its an act. you know, make up and what not.

[Lennon4life1968]

Another great thing about this video is when you see the kids in the audience singing word for word. I like seeing that because it means the music will live on.

[kralle7611]

@Lennon4life1968 yeah its great when kids sing about awesome sex.

[Vike109]

Yeah !! Super Bad Brad

He is the man !!

[1996camsope]

dude of course he is "grose looking" he's freaking homeless haha:/

[HerrKryo]

just one question because i don't know the premise of this show. is the look his schtick or is he actually a streetmusician? because this man has a voice better than these polished pop freak who get millions for sounding like each other. in a world more fair, he'll sell RECORDS

[superdonyoungy]

I think he's a bit of a freak/ street performer/bum. It could be an act but he's not Bruce Willis as some speculate and I don't think he's anyone else famous either.

[MrDdrmr]

A couple of years ago, when I saw him on the Apollo contest, I emailed the show with that same question. They were reluctant to give me his full story, but they did finally say that he really does live in a box on the streets and has his own set of problems.. He needs a good manager!

[HerrKryo]

a ballsy manager. but of course they'll sell him as gimmick and 2 month later he is back on the street.....i mean this guy has fucking heart in his voice. there's jamie cullum potential here.

[emptyomen]

funny how things work out sum times....its pathetic what a pretty face can get you in this world.

[elephantinrm]

so true. Nice comment!!

[emptyomen]

@elephantinrm thnx much! and unfortunetly, a true one.

[speakerbox123]

oh shit dwight can sing!!

[luvncheetos]

[filthpunkdammit]

his name is super bad brad and he won week after week on the show, till they brought him back for the finals at the end of the year. then he lost to a guy who read a poem...

met the guy - he's super sweet and shy, and used to sing on the streets of the lower east side of manhattan. and he's always this good :D

[2sdayMeShell]

does anyone know if he won?

[uselessguitarplayer1]

shame he didn't take a shower and wear a suit

[clashmash]

His name is Brad, superbad Brad

[howhardgerrard]
