Not much more to say except: YES. THANK YOU. LONG OVERDUE. While everyone was mourning the loss of a Soul legend Whitney Houston this past weekend, Charles Bradley was busy trying to live his hard life the last 60 plus years. He was the break out Soul star in 2011 with his release No Time For Dreaming on Daptone, and his interesting story has been documented on film. This documentary will premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in March, and FMF can not wait to check it out. If you are a fan of Soul music, this is a film that should not be missed. This man’s music is incredible, and while releasing his debut record at 62, he has to be the oldest rookie since Satchel Paige took the mound. This is Soul music people: the good, the bad, the sad, and truly incredible.
