First feature of this years Haldern Pop bands:
Today: Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires
Its late in the evening, the sun is going down, we all enter the Spiegeltent and we have some cool music to listen to.
Enter:
Charles Bradley (born 1948, Gainesville, Florida), commonly referred to as "The Screaming Eagle of Soul",
is a funk/soul/R&B singer signed to the Daptone Records label under the Dunham Records division.
His performances and recording style are consistent with Daptone's revivalist approach,
celebrating the feel of funk and soul music from the 1960s and 1970s.
One review stated that Bradley "echoes the evocative delivery of Otis Redding".
The World (Is Going Up In Flames)
Charles released his debut album “No Time For Dreaming” in 2011 at the age of 62.
Can you believe that?
Before his musical career he had hard times: no jobs, no money, no home.
This is reflected in his lyrics.
“This world
is going up in flames
and nobody
wanna take the blame
don't tell me
how to live my life
when you
never felt the pain”
Why Is It So Hard?
And never forget: The golden rule is LOVE!
Golden Rule
See you all in the Spiegeltent!!!
I have been gone for a while concerning the music-side-of-things. Just sitting at work and listening to your posts! What a great discovery that man is, and what a shame I can't meet you this year in the Spiegeltent! Thanks for the music anyway!
