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

so much soul,could save a robot

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.

rest in peace charles bradley

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RIP CHARLES BRADLEY🕊🕊🕊

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...

Get well soon Charles! This world needs you!!

I am here because RU-vid 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!

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

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

I wish I could have felt this in person.

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

Damn I get tears listening to him, miss him

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

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

why does my watching him sweat make me wanna cry!

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

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.

What a legend.

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

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

This is insanely good.

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.

This sound engineer nailed it! Wel will miss you Charles

i got chills all over

R.I.P. legend!

My ears are blessed

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.

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

Charles is a voice sent from heaven!

Musician so excellent !

Mr.Charles Bradley , you live for ever !

we love you Charles Bradley

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

This is just amazing. Love his passion, he is pure passion, soul and talent.

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.

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?

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

CHARLES BRADLEY RULES!!!!!!!!

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.

stay strong, Charles!

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

I love this performance

I will miss this soul of souls

This feel so magic, so good, i'm laying on my bed at 2:33am with a book in my hand, and this is so relaxing, so paceful, thanks for this beautiful performance! You have a new fan from Mexico💜

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

Wanted to hear him live again. He was a winner at life and so full of love and passion.

Wow! Overwhelming!

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.

the best!!!

He was such a treasure the world missed out on a true master.

I read the G1 a interview he gave. He was here in Brazil Please come back!!! I love it.!!!!

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

One of the best bands I have heard recently

Miss you Charles... I hope another one of you comes back and teaches everyone what music is.

We are waiting for you in Mexico City! Comeeeee Charles!

Beautiful.

How adorable was this man! DAM I am so sad I never got to see him LIVE. Such a legend!

Beautiful!!!!!

Bumpin it up for an awesome show. RIP Charles.
