Description:
Recorded in the early 2000s but evoking the raw fire of late-’60s soul, “Now That I’m Gone (Look How You’re Crying)” introduced Charles Bradley’s passionate voice to the Daptone family long before his debut album. Backed by The Bullets (a precursor to the Menahan Street Band), the track is drenched in vintage authenticity — fuzzy guitar tones, deep organ swells, and a rhythm section that hits with the punch of Stax-era funk.
Bradley’s aching vocal delivery channels the spirit of Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, transforming heartbreak into catharsis. Originally released as a limited 7″ on Dunham Records, the song has become a prized piece among collectors, representing the genesis of one of soul’s great late bloomers.
