Charles Bradley's long, hard road to an album

Charles Bradley recorded his debut album last year... at the age of 64. Most people when they hear it can't believe that he wasn't already a star, given his easy soul style. But when you hear No Time for Dreaming, you understand that Bradley's life hasn't been an easy one. (His song "Why is it So Hard" is a great example that tells just some of the story of Charles.)

 

Charles Bradley brings his band to the Ottawa Bluesfest tonight, but first he joined us in studio.
