Charlie Rich Artist Bio and LyricsThe American songwriter and musician Charlie Rich was born in 1932. He is known for his eclectic style of music, which blends jazz, rockabilly, blues, gospel, and country. Late in life, Rich began to be affectionately referred to as the Silver Fox, owing to his head of silver gray hair.
Charlie Rich was signed to Epic Records in the late 1960s thanks to the recommendations of producer Billy Sherrill. It was Sherrill who would aid Rich in the process of becoming a Nashville Sound balladeer. Charlie Rich’s new “Countrypolitan” image and sound resulted in the smash hit “I Take it On Home” in 1972. The following year, the title track off Rich’s album Behind Closed Doors would make it to Number One on the charts. Rich is perhaps best known for the song “The Most Beautiful Girl In the World.” For his major impact on rock and roll in its early days, Rich was inducted in to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Charlie Rich, Jr., Rich’s son, is also a renowned musician. The albums of Charlie Rich include In Concert, The Great Charlie Rich, K-Tel Greatest Hits, Silver Fox, Every Time You Touch Me (I Get High), Country Hit Parade, Very Best of Charlie Rich, Set Me Free, The Fabulous Charlie Rich, Lonely Weekends, Boss Man, Very Special Love Songs, Country Legends, The Complete Singles Plus: The Sun Years 1958-1963, All American Country, Back to Back, The Complete Sun Singles, All-Time Greatest Hits, and Beyond Your Wildest Dreams. |
