Biografia:
Great artist, for those of you who like, easy listening, country or jazz style music. Fabulous to see in concert he has a great sense of reality, warmth and genuine caring.Not only a singer but Charlie is a great songwriter also, with such songs as I Will Love You All My Life the hit made famoua by Foster and Allen. What Colour Is The Wind is another favourite among many he has penned.To see this man on stage is an exhilerating experience, enough, but to meet him and get to know the man, personally, is such an overwhelming experience.
