This was one sexy man….More than the fact he was handsome was the fact he played the game on his own terms. He was so prolific and professional the industry could not dictate to him on how a traditional journalist should look sans beard and earrings.

Break out the kleenex for his 60 minute tribute.

RIP another lst great

damn can beleive he died

I big loss. He was a phenominal journalist. RIP

r.i.p and no he wasnt gay!! damn if ever man that wore an earring was gay then shih everybody wude be making booty butter lol

he got the interviews that noone else cude and he treated everyone that he interviewed witht he same respect, thats wuh ill remember about him, mi mum sed she thought he looked a bit sickly toward the end…i never noticed….

it’s funny that more peeps will post about raven’s winter boots than a beloved journalist….. actually it’s sad….

Yeah, its a sad event. RIP

Rest in peace, Ed Bradley

Thanks for posting this Angel.

I’m a lerker, so I don’t post at all (this is my first post). But here is something that I noticed.

Ed Bradley dies, a black journalist who has accomplished so much, extremely intelligent and there’s about 85 some-odd posts.

However, when there’s blog about lil wayne and bird man kissing or “who wore it better: beyonce or ?” there’s over 200 posts!

This doesn’t really look to good on our part people. It shows that we are more concerned about popstars than important leader who actually make a difference. My whole point is that we have to be aware of ALL of our black people, watch the news! Read a newspaper!

I thank Angel LA for posting this because many other blogs did not!

R.I.P

the earring (afro & beard) was REVOLUTIONARY. it was his nod to all of us that he was doing the damn thing on his terms. it breaks my heart that yet another icon has passed and foolishness (is he gay? what’s beyonce singing about in this song?) persists. this is not a good look, people. i’m really starting to understand why the bill cosby set (65+) is so disgusted with young people.

#86

So true… who gives a damn whether he was gay, straight or whatever?

RIP

Easy Ed as he was sometime called was an awesome journalist. I was flicking channels a few months back and wondered about Mr. Bradley as I had not seen him in a while. Lo and Behold yesterday reading TMZ I saw the announcement of Ed’s death. I was so shocked because I didn’t even know he was ill. He appeared to have led his life with such grace and dignity and I assumed he passed the same way. Goodbye Mr. Bradley may your soul rest in peace. Peace and Blessings to his family and friends. Such a nice looking gentlemen.

Last of a dying breed of a great journalist..and great black man.

aww RIP

Ed Bradley was one of the smoothest journalist in the media. Not only was he an American icon, but he
was a presence known internationally. On 60 minuites, he always displayed a sort of regal aura about him. He was like the Captain of a vessel, and exuded a coolness about him. He always interviewed the headline charectors, wether it was Timothy Mc veigh, Mahamed Ali, or even Lena Horne. He was 60 min., and I will miss seeing him on the show. Plus, he was from Philly. R.I.P. Ed Bradley.

Another Great Legend gone
I loved his interview with Aretha Franklin

God Bless the Bradley family

@84 & 86 I totally agree.

“But be not afraid of greatness:
some are born great,
some achieve greatness
and some have greatness thrust upon ‘em. “

I always thought he was such a handsome, distinguished and sexy older man. He will be missed.

Not easy to fill up those shoes.Favourite reporter in fovourite show. So sad. Sweden. Joakim
