Charles Bradley was an American funk/soul/R&B singer, known as "The Screaming Eagle of Soul". Born on November 5th, 1948 in Gainesville, Florida, he captivated audiences with his powerful and soulful voice. Sadly, Charles Bradley passed away on September 23rd, 2017 in Brooklyn, New York after battling stomach cancer. His music continues to inspire and touch the hearts of fans around the world.

Daptone is a label that specializes in hard funk, soul, and afrobeat music by current artists. It was formed by musicians and producers from the now defunct 1990s funk revival pioneer label Desco Records. The label is run by Gabriel Roth (also known as Bosco Mann) and Neal Sugarman. Daptone is home to renowned artists such as Sharon Jones, The Dap-Kings, Lee Fields, Sugarman 3, Antibalas, The Mighty Imperials, and others.

Most of Daptone's seven inch singles feature a generic blue record label. However, all singles are produced in limited quantities of 1000 - 2000 copies. In some cases where titles are highly sought after and sell out quickly, a second press run with a red colored label may be done.

Mikey Post oversees Direct Sales & Distribution at Daptone and explains that their releases have been continuously available since February 2019. While records released prior to 2009 did not include barcodes initially, they still use the original 'Mother' plates for pressing new copies today. There may be slight variations in the color of labels over the years due to printing on an offset machine with stock paper.

Back in stock and much cheaper. In the two years since his debut album was released the story has progressed and Charles, now a fully-fledged star, has released his sophomore album Victim of Love to chart success, captivated audiences with his blistering performances at more than 200 shows in 20 countries across three continents and counts BBC's Later With Jools Holland, BBC Breakfast, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and multiple episodes of Last Call with Carson Daly amongst his knock-out worldwide TV appearances. This award-winning documentary explores Charles' remarkable journey through abandonment, homelessness and tragedy to recording with the masters of modern soul Daptone and Dunham Records. Spanning the exciting, painful and uncertain months prior to the release of his debut album in January 2011,Charles Bradley: Soul of America documents one man's ultimate triumph over an impossible dream 48 years in the making.Charles Bradley: Soul of America charts the incredible late-in-life rise of 62 year-old aspiring soul singer Charles Bradley, whose debut album No Time For Dreaming rocketed him from a hard life in New York's housing projects to MOJO and Rolling Stone magazine's top albums of 2011.
