On this episode, Mike and Alex talk about the most beautiful black rose, Charles Bradley. This former James Brown impersonator went through it all before achieving success in his early 60s. After 3 brilliant albums, Bradley tragically died of cancer in 2017, but a 4th album was released posthumously. The man was absolutely spectacular and we’ll never get another one like him. We’re all a victim of loving you, Bradley. Unless you haven’t heard him. In which case listen now for the love of God.

Closing track: “Lovin’ You, Baby” from No Time for Dreaming (2011)
