SOUNDBITE: (English) Bob Schieffer, CBS\u003cbr/\u003e\"Ed Bradley was a master interviewer and he was not the bulldog kind of interviewer like Mike Wallace, or like say Dan Rather, but he had this ability to put people at ease and make them be themselves, which is sometimes the hardest thing that you can do.  And sometimes that worked to the person being interviewed's advantage and sometimes it was their disadvantage.  But Ed had a way to getting people to respond as they really are, as if the camera was not there.  And I think that was his contribution, he had a kind of Colombo like ability to ask that oh by the way one other question, and I always remember his head up to the temple like that, and said, oh yes you know.  And it just worked.  And he did these beautiful stories on 60 minutes.\"\u003cbr/\u003e11. Bradley laughing with comedian George Burns\u003cbr/\u003e12.

Wide of Bradley on \"60 Minutes\" set \u003cbr/\u003eEd Bradley, the award-winning television journalist who broke racial barriers at America's CBS News, and created a distinctive, powerful body of work during his 26 years on \"60 Minutes,\" died on Thursday. \u003cbr/\u003eBradley, who was 65, died of leukaemia at Mount Sinai hospital, CBS News announced.\u003cbr/\u003eHe landed many memorable interviews, notably with Michael Jackson and also the only TV interview with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.\u003cbr/\u003eWith his signature earring and beard, Bradley \"was a master interviewer\" said CBS's Bob Schieffer.\u003cbr/\u003e\"He had this ability to put people at ease and make them be themselves, which is sometimes the hardest thing that you can do.  And sometimes that worked to the person being interviewed's advantage and sometimes it was their disadvantage.  But Ed had a way to getting people to respond as they really are, as if the camera was not there,\" Schieffer added.\u003cbr/\u003eBradley's consummate skills were recognised with numerous awards, including four George Foster Peabody awards and 19 Emmys, the latest for a segment on the reopening of the 50-year-old racial murder case of Emmett Till.\u003cbr/\u003eThree of his Emmys came at the 2003 awards: for lifetime achievement; a report on brain cancer patients; and a report about sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. \u003cbr/\u003eHe also won a lifetime achievement award from the National Association of Black Journalists.\u003cbr/\u003eBradley joined the highly-rated \"60 Minutes\" in 1981 when Dan Rather left to replace Walter Cronkite as anchor of \"The CBS Evening News.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHis reporting ability was matched by his interviewing finesse.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen he spoke with McVeigh in February 2000 at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, the convicted bomber told Bradley that he was angry and bitter after fighting in the Gulf War. \u003cbr/\u003eIn December 2003, Michael Jackson said he had been \"manhandled\" when arrested on child molestation charges a few weeks earlier.\u003cbr/\u003eThough he had been ill and had undergone heart bypass surgery about a year ago, he remained active on \"60 Minutes.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBorn on 22 June 1941, Bradley grew up in a tough section of Philadelphia, where he once recalled that his parents worked 20-hour days at two jobs apiece. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter graduating from the historically black Cheyney State College (now Cheyney University of Pennsylvania), he launched his career as a jazz DJ, (he was a lifelong jazz fan) and news reporter for a Philadelphia radio station in 1963. \u003cbr/\u003eHe moved to New York's WCBS radio four years later.\u003cbr/\u003eHe joined CBS News as a stringer in the Paris bureau in 1971, transferring a year later to the Saigon bureau during the Vietnam War. \u003cbr/\u003eHe was wounded while on assignment in Cambodia. \u003cbr/\u003eHe was named a CBS News correspondent in early 1973 and moved to the Washington bureau in June 1974. \u003cbr/\u003eHe later returned to Vietnam.\u003cbr/\u003eCronkite recalled first meeting Bradley in Vietnam: \"He seemed to be fearless, an incredibly smart reporter in getting the story.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAfter Southeast Asia, Bradley returned to the United States and covered Jimmy Carter's successful campaign for the White House. \u003cbr/\u003eHe followed Carter to Washington, in 1976 becoming CBS' first black White House correspondent, a prestigious position that Bradley did not enjoy.\u003cbr/\u003eHe jumped from Washington to doing pieces for \"CBS Reports,\" travelling to Cambodia, China, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was his Emmy-winning 1979 piece on Vietnamese boat refugees that eventually took him to \"60 Minutes.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"60 Minutes\" producer Don Hewitt, in his book \"Minute by Minute,\" was quick to appreciate Bradley. \u003cbr/\u003eBradley recently served as a radio host for \"Jazz at Lincoln Centre,\" where he won one of his four Peabody awards.\u003cbr/\u003eBradley is survived by his wife, Patricia Blanchet.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
