At this point in the show, I found out that the contemporary soul singer Charles Bradley had recently passed away. Considering that one of the genres featured on the Doo-Wop Bop is “early soul,” and considering that I’m a massive fan of Charles Bradley as a person and as a musician, I decided to insert two songs in the playlist to honor his memory.
