Just selected for the SXSW 2012 Film Festival, the documentary Charles Bradley: Soul of America depicts the extraordinary late in life rise of 62 year old aspiring soul singer Charles Bradley, whose long overdue debut album, No Time For Dreaming (Daptone), took him from a hard life of poverty, homelessness and tragedy and rocketed him onto Rolling Stone magazine's top 50 albums of 2011.
The film follows Charles from his 62nd birthday through the electrifying and transformative months leading up to his unprecedented debut, world tour and ultimate triumph over an impossible dream 48 years in the making. Check out the trailer below.
Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires play Lee's Palace on Saturday February 11.
