Amazing ‘60 Minutes’ tribute to Ed Bradley

Sunday’s “60 Minutes” was devoted entirely to Ed Bradley. It was simply fantastic. And not just because it was dedicated to the passing of a journalist. A simple memorial hour of “greatest clips” would have been sufficient. Instead, “60 Minutes” pulled off a celebration. I came away from it with a full sense of the man, something I didn’t have before. I have more respect for him than ever. I only wish I knew as much about him while he was still alive. Mr. Bradley was a bon vivant, and “60 Minutes” absolutely let that part of him shine. And if the end doesn’t give you chills - and make you smile - well, nothing’s going to. Thank you, “60 Minutes” for such an outstanding tribute to Mr. Bradley. And thank you, Mr. Bradley, for all you did for journalism, music and understanding.
