Charles Bradley had a career as a James Brown impersonator until he was discovered by Daptone Records owner, Gabriel Roth, in the early 2000's. He eventually released his debut album 'No Time For Dreaming' in 2011, at the tender age of 62. His new album 'Victim of Love' continues the 60's/70's soul/funk revival sound that the Daptone Records label specialises in.... and perfects. "You Put The Flame On It" from the 'Victim of Love' album, is classic Marvin Gaye soul. For all the undiscovered old-timers out there, never give up - Charles Bradley is your inspiration.... although, having a voice like his would help.
