Pictures of... Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires
7:11 PM
Born in 1948, Bradley got to see James Brown at the Apollo Theater in Harlem in 1962, and the experience was transformative. From then on, Bradley performed when and where he could while supporting himself with odd jobs (mainly as a cook) and groping for that main chance.
He got it when Gabriel Roth of the soul-driven Daptone Records - famous for bringing Sharon Jones, another struggling great, to our attention - heard him and guided him down the path that led to last year's "No Time for Dreaming," an album that not only packed a lifetime into 12 songs but also kicked another retro-soul dreamer into a reality he deserved.
