Charles Bradley Channels the Mojo of Otis Redding [video]

The World (Is Going Up In Flames) – Charles Bradley

It’s now undeniably true that reincarnation exists within our universe. How else could Charles Bradley (@charles_bradley) harness the look, style, and mojo of Otis Redding so innately? Bradley, backed by the Menahan Street Band, is an instant classic. A soul and funk revivalist, Bradley has been referred to as “The Screaming Eagle of Soul”, and for good reason. His recent release on Daptone Records, No Time For Dreaming, is a studied review of original 1960s soul. With song themes ranging from sexual love to societal critique, Bradley and the Menahan Street Band are a breath of fresh air with their wholly throwback sound. Give a listen to “The World Is Going Up in Flames” and let Charles Bradley’s wild passion take you back to the golden age of music in America.
