Charlie Rich

Charles Allan "Charlie" Rich (December 14, 1932 – July 25, 1995) was an American country music singer, songwriter and musician. His eclectic style of music was often hard to classify in a single genre, encompassing the rockabilly, jazz, blues, country, soul and gospel genres.

In the later part of his life, Rich acquired the nickname the Silver Fox. He is perhaps best remembered for a pair of 1973 hits, "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl". "The Most Beautiful Girl" topped the U.S. country singles charts, as well as the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles charts and earned him two Grammy Awards. Rich was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2015.

Early life

Rich was born in Colt, Arkansas, to rural cotton farmers. He graduated from Consolidated High School in Forrest City, where he played saxophone in the band. He was strongly influenced by his parents, members of the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church in Forrest City, as his mother, Helen Rich, played piano and his father sang in gospel quartets. A black sharecropper on the family land called C. J. Allen taught Rich blues piano. He enrolled at Arkansas State College on a football scholarship and then transferred to the University of Arkansas as a music major after a football injury. He left after one semester to join the United States Air Force in 1953.

Charlie Rich

by: Charlie Rich

You won't ever see me
Running around
There's no point in looking
For what I've already found
When it comes to loving
She's the one
There's nothing worth doing
That she ain't already done
My good loving woman understands
There's no way of losing a satisfied man
I wouldn't take chances
To try something new
'Cause her kind of loving
Is much too good to lose
I never will leave her loving arms
Her love's like a fever
There's no other woman that warm
My good loving woman understands
There's no way of losing a satisfied man
My good loving woman understands
