Oh yeah, and he’s also the President of ASCAP. Williams talks about his long career in show biz.

Charles Bradley: "Why Is It So Hard?"
Monday, January 16, 2012
We close today's show with a song that seems to be about one man's struggle with the American dream. New York funk and R&B singer Charles Bradley's life story is filled with poverty, misfortune, and unappreciated talent -- followed by an extraordinary turnaround. Last year he released his first full-length album, No Time for Dreaming, and joined us in the studio with his band - the Extraordinaires. We listen back to a performance of the song "Why Is It So Hard?"

Funk and R&B singer Charles Bradley’s life story is filled with poverty, struggle and unappreciated talent. But after catching the eye of a Daptone Records agent (while doing a James Brown routine in a Bushwick club) Charles Bradley put out his first record earlier this year. It’s called “No Time For Dreaming,” and the soulful singer will join us to sing some of it live.
