I was introduced to Charlie Rich in 1973 by the means of the radio. "Behind Closed Doors" was a smash hit and the song was flooding the airwaves. I became a Charlie Rich fan at 10 years of age. I began to buy all of his albums and I became introduced to his Rock-A-Billy hits at Sun Records. Sam Phillips who founded Sun Records, has been quoted to say that "Charlie Rich was the most gifted musician at Sun Records". The Sun Years C.D. is a collection of songs that show Charlie's talents as a musician and a song writer. Charlie was a rocker at heart. If you think all Charlie did was country music....boy are you in for a treat. The Sun Years C.D. has numerous hits such as "Lonely Weekends", "Break Up" and "Everthing I Do Is Wrong". These 3 songs showcase this C.D. "Break Up" was written by Charlie and Jerry Lee Lewis was suppose to record it, but something happened in England and the rest is history. If you are a Rock-A-Billy Fan, a 50's Rock Fan, a Charlie Rich Fan, this C.D. is for you. Charlie Rich died in 1995 without much fanfare. Charlie was GREAT and deserves to be heard...Enjoy this great collection of songs.
