	Charlie Feathers - Biography - AOL Music
		Charlie Feathers was many things to many fans of rock and country music.
		And Feathers' stubborn insistence on combining elements of country, raw blues, and bluegrass to make his own version of the rockabilly experience showed him to be one of the genre's most original and enduring artists.
		Feathers embroidered the story with a skewed view of rock & roll history with each retelling, to be sure, but once he picked up his guitar and sang to reinforce his point, the truth came out in his music.

	Remembering Charlie Feathers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Charlie will forever be a model to both young rockabilly singers and rockers of all types as a man who never let chart statistics and the everchanging tides of history change his vision or his mind.Rockabilly wasn't his music,it was his religion.He was it's high priest.
		Charlie Feathers is known for the documentation and legends surrounding him as much as his music (many folks first heard of his legend and influence before they actually heard one of his recordings...and he had great variation in what one could possibly hear first!)
		Feathers suffered a massive stroke Tuesday and was admitted to Saint Francis Hospital, where he fell into a coma one day later, according to the hospital and family.

	Charlie Feathers - Rockabilly Central
		Like the army of poor, white, Southern boys that revolutionized American music in the '50s, Charlie Feathers was born into a world of poverty so severe that it made little differentiation between white and fl.
		By 1949, Feathers was living in Memphis, and he began hanging around the Sun Studio shortly after it opened in the early '50s--recording demos, working on arrangements, and cowriting songs, including "I Forgot to Remember to Forget," Elvis' last Sun single.
		Feathers promptly grabbed a bass and slapped out "That Certain Female," three minutes of powerful, unrestrained, rockabilly madness--illustrating just how simple it could be for him to produce a classic.

	Charlie Feathers - Rockabilly Central
		Although Feathers was revered by rockabilly purists, he was considerably less well known by the mass of listeners who, during the 1950s, latched on to his Sun Records labelmates Presley, Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.
		Charlie Feathers was born on July 12, 1932, outside Holly Springs, Miss., a region now famous as the home to such unrefined artists as R.L. Burnside and the late Junior Kimbrough.
		Feathers is survived by his wife Rosemary, daughter Wanda Van Zandt and sons Ricky and Charles "Bubba" Jr.

	Charlie Feathers, Rockabilly's Main Man
		Feathers himself claimed to have co-inked the song with Kesler, but Stan has since recounted that he wrote the song alone and gave fifty percent of the copyright to Charlie for singing the demo.
		Feathers then elaborated further on his claim by stating that Kesler began working on the song, then passed it on to Charlie who completed the lyrics and formulated the arrangement that Presley eventually used at his July recording date with the Blue Moon Boys.
		Charlie's appearance on the program, as released on the Lunar label, became the catalyst by which he finally received the respect and admiration of his fellow countrymen, an adoration that had eluded him since he made his first recordings for Sun over twenty years previous.

	Charlie Feathers Biography : Oldies.com
		Feathers was an enigmatic superstar, although in reality his influence totally overshadowed his commercial success.
		Feathers" later recordings suffered from the problem of being aided by younger musicians who were merely in awe of his work, and his best material was from the 50s.
		Influential but spartan, full of whoops and growls, but ultimately, irresistible country rock, Feather's "light comedy" style was an "invisible influence" over many decades, from Big Bopper in the 50s to Hank Wangford in the 80s.

		Among other things, Charlie Feathers -- who died last month at the age of 66 -- claimed (against evidence to the contrary) to have come up with Elvis's arrangements, taught Jerry Lee how to pound the piano, and invented rockabilly.
		"Slapback!" Feathers may have imagined himself a keeper of secrets, but in practice he was not a very good one -- every time he opened his mouth to sing, the truth leapt out.
		Irrespective of his Forrest Gump-like assertions later in life, Sun was held aloft on the backs of characters like Charlie Feathers -- a man of enormous and largely unrewarded talent whose emotional radiance illuminated the big truths of small things.

	Twangzine - Charlie Feathers
		Fans of rarities can hear Feathers demonstrate his expertise as a player of spoons on a Miller Sisters Flip side "Someday You'll Pay." If you dig rockabilly and don't have these performances, then you are missing pages from the Holy Bible of this music we all know and love.
		This is where we hear Feathers applying elements of blues and soul to bluegrass in as sincere and heartfelt manner as humanly possible.
		This set shows that not only was Feathers adept at slick, commercial country music ("Johnny Come Home," "Talkin' 'Bout Lovin'"), but hadn't lost a step when the first rumblings of the rockabilly revival occurred ("Wild Side Of Life," "Where's She At Tonight") during the late 60s.

		The career of this top-notch rockabilly artist certainly had its downs and downs, as one can ascertain from the fact that it is a rare Charlie Feathers session that was released anytime near the date it was recorded.
		These sides languished for nearly a decade, although the playing is great and Feathers is in fine vocal form.
		Some of these tunes are ones Feather recorded over and over, such as "I'm Movin' On" by Hank Snow, perversely done at a tempo slow enough to suggest a broken down truck rather than a smoothly running eight-wheeler.

	Charlie Feathers- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Charlie Feathers was a Sun recording artist back in the '50's, just like Elvis and Johnny and Jerry Lee.He was not only one of the label's top artists, he was always happy to help out other performers in the studio-- one of those whose sound he helped shape was a guy named Elvis Aron Presley.
		Although he could be prone to batheticcountry ballads, when Charlie got the high-treble going on his guitar with a rockin' beat from the rhythm section behind him, he could let go and out-Sun Session The Sun Sessions; he was also capable of being loonier than Hasil Adkins and more endearingly pathetic than George Jones.
		and then there are the ghostly tunes, like"Dinky John" and "Johnny Come Listen," wherein Charlie goes slowly and patiently about as he gives you that sinister but lovely graveyard chill.
