His performances and recording style were consistent with Daptone's revivalist approach, celebrating the feel of funk and soul music from the 1960s and 1970s.[3] One review said he "echoes the evocative delivery of Otis Redding".[4]
Calling himself "the screaming eagle of soul", Bradley was the subject of the documentary Soul of America which premiered at South by Southwest in 2012.[5]
Bradley was diagnosed with stomach cancer in October 2016.[6] He died on September 23, 2017 in Brooklyn, New York at the age of 68.[7][8]
