Charles Bradley didn't get to have a very long career, releasing his first album in 2011 at the age of 62 and passing away Saturday in Brooklyn. But the Screaming Eagle of Soul packed a lot of punch into those years, bringing to bear all of the years he had been working small gigs and also appearing as a James Brown tribute act.
His appearance in the opening minutes of the third episode of Netflix's Luke Cage series was one of the performances that helped that show's strongest element: The music. Here he performs with the Extraordinaires, who were among current and former band members, friends and family with him when he passed.
