Ed Bradley of '60 Minutes' Dies at 65 - washingtonpost.com

Quote:

Ed Bradley, 65, a suave and streetwise reporter considered one of the best interviewers on television and the winner of 19 Emmy awards for his work on "60 Minutes" and "CBS Reports," died of leukemia Nov. 9 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. He lived in New York.

Bradley, the first African American at CBS to be a White House correspondent and a Sunday night anchor, covered a broad array of stories with insight and aplomb during his 39-year career, from war to politics to sensitive portraits of artists. He won virtually every broadcast news award -- some of them more than once.

He was a cool journalist, with a heart for the underdog.

I will miss him. He was a great journalist and music aficianado. I saw some clips of him interviewing some great musicians. Dylan was his usual withdraw self when asked if he really wrote Blowin in the Wind in 10 minutes, otherwise Bradley was talented at getting people relaxed and talking. He was well respected amoung his peers.
