		Rich's heavy drinking caused his wife to leave with the children, but he convinced her that he would change.

	CHARLIE RICH & ROY ORBISON
		Charlie Rich, in many ways, was the most unusual performer to record at Sun.
		Rich initially didn’t care for boogie blues but soon was converted to artists like Jerry Lee & Ray Charles (who were Rich’s biggest influences while on Sun).
		Rich also wrote the rocker "Break up" for Lewis & also intended the jazzy rocker "Lonely weekends" for the Killer (Jerry Lee waited 12 years to cut his version, but Rich did it in 1960, sounding not unlike the Killer & securing a No. 22 hit).

	Charlie Rich Discography -- Slipcue.Com Guide To Hick Music
		At the peak of his fame, Rich was known as "the Silver Fox" and won the Performer of the Year award in 1974, riding high on a series of lavish countrypolitan hits that helped define the genre.
		Rich is occasionally miscast, for example as a Ben E. King-style soft-pop crooner, but his blues side keeps rising to the fore, and even when he's in a rut, there's still something compelling about whatever he does while he's stuck there.
		Rich's last album was billed as "the jazz album he always wanted to make", and indeed, includes several well-chosen (and oddly rendered) standards, such as "Am I Blue?" and "Mood Indigo", as well as remakes of several Rich classics, like "Feel Like Going Home".

	Charlie Rich retrospective
		When Charlie Rich died on July 25th, 1995, from a blood clot in his lung-- his beloved, devoted wife Margaret Ann by his side-- it was all our culture could do to even remember him, much less celebrate him.
		But it says a lot about Charlie Rich (born 1932 in Colt, Arkansas) and his whole musical range-- this was a Sun Records pioneer, for gosh sakes-- that he could've been remembered, and celebrated, in every place that I looked.
		Charlie finally signed his Faustian deal with Epic in 1970, and was ultimately rewarded (like Elvis) with millions of dollars and great fame for music that had little to do with his own personal tastes and sensibilities.

		Born in Arkansas in 1932,; Rich began his musical career as an enlisted man in the early 1950s, playing piano with a jazzy outfit called the Velvetones at the U.S. Air Force base in Oklahoma where he was stationed.
		In 1964, Rich left Sun and signed with Groove, an RCA subsidiary, where he recorded several albums that were not commercial successes until they were reissued in the wake of his big 1970s hits.
		In addition, Rich was always reluctant to do the kind of touring and personal appearances a performer is urged to do to maximize record sales, opting instead to spend time at home with Margaret Ann and their children.

		Set Me Free was Charlie Rich's first album for Epic Records and the first record he ever cut with Nashville producer Billy Sherrill.
		Previously, Rich's producers hadn't known what to do with his eclectic style, although his sessions for Smash came close to capturing all sides of his personality.
		With Sherrill, Rich had a producer whose musical tastes were nearly as eclectic as his own, and that is captured on the freewheeling, diverse sounds of Set Me Free.

		Born in Colt, Arkansas, Charlie Rich wandered into the Sun studio in 1958, on the heels of Jerry Lee's hits, thinking maybe he could get a piece of the action.
		Rich and Jerry Lee were in the maternity ward when rock was born, and like most of the early rockers, they found themselves in the desert a few years later, when the Beatles swept all before them.
		Charlie hit even bigger five years later with "Behind Closed Doors." It wasn't his greatest song, but everything he did had some of the winning, high, lonesome quality that seeped through the best bluegrass before him.

		But at that time, many longtime fans viewed the "new" Charlie Rich warily; their fear was that mass success came at a cost.
		Charlie Rich was a hugely talented singer-pianist who, for whatever reason, never really fulfilled his potential.
		Charlie also recorded jazz and I suspect that he really wanted to sing but it was in country music that Charlie became successful for a brief period in the seventies.

		Unlike his Sun label mate, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rich and Sam Phillips were able to come to a balance of power and finesse.
		Rich wasn't only a fine piano player, he was a great writer who knew how to arrange his own material.
		The set ends with another Rich nugget that scored for many other artists, the honky tonk gem "Sittin' and Thinkin'." Rich's version is a tad sweeter -- due, no doubt, to Phillips adding strings to the mix -- but it's till plenty poignant.

		Charlie gained many Frank Sinatra fans in the 1970s with his renditions of standards like "Nice and Easy," "Like Someone in Love," and "I've Got You Under My Skin." Done in the mid-60s, Charlie considered the "Complete Smash Sessions" some his best studio recordings.
		Delve into Charlie Rich and, as critic Dave Marsh says in the "Smash Sessions" liner notes, "enter a new world." Marsh relates he has owned the original two Smash albums for 20 years and "the music they contain remains a permanent fascination." If you are a music fan, you will likely

		He mentioned Rich quite possibly in the '69 Rolling Stone inteview with Jann Wenner.
		Of course Rich, though not that well known had been around since the '50s, occasionally scoring hits such as "Mohair Sam," until he finally broke big in the '70s with "Behind Closed Doors" and "Most Beautiful Girl." Unfortunately, "Most Beautiful Girl," probably his biggest hit was not representative of what he really did.
		I've always felt that "Nashville Skyline" in both Dylan's voice and in songs such as "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" and "Lay Lady Lay" were heavily influenced by Charlie Rich.
