The year was 1985. That is when Dee Bradley evolved into "Mr. Entertainment" and launched his solo career. He toured the world and developed a reputation as the 'singer you didn't want to follow onto a stage."
It was during those halcyon days on the road that Bradley decided to wade into the waters of songwriting. He discovered the symmetry between his life experiences and telling insightful stories through a song. By 2007, he'd finally cobbled together the material that would be the foundation of his debut album, "The Candy Man." While living in Los Angeles he connected with producer Leon Haywood ("I Want to do Something Freaky to You," "She's A Bad Mama Jamma," et al) and recorded his seminal album at Haywood's EveJIm Records. The album has steadily climbed the charts on a wide range of play list around the world. The album's staying power can be attributed to the breadth and scope of the compositions. From the cautionary tale of a fading love affair ("How Did I Wake Up With A Stranger?") to the rousing blues manifesto (Too Much Man to Cry), "The Candy Man" is a compilation for all seasons and all reasons.
Stay tuned. Dee Bradley is back in the studio, feverishly working on his next masterpiece - aptly titled "The Classic Voice". So at first chance you get, check out "The Candy Man". You'll be glad you did.
