In Studio: Charles Bradley

Soundcheck | Nov 30, 2011

Funk and R&B singer Charles Bradley’s life story is filled with poverty, struggle and unappreciated talent. But after catching the eye of a Daptone Records agent (while doing a James Brown routine in a Bushwick club) Charles Bradley put out his first record earlier this year. It’s called “No Time For Dreaming,” and the soulful singer will join us to sing some of it live.
