Essential Albums
- Charlie Rich began his career singing rockabilly at Sun Records, but by 1973, the Silver Fox was crooning future standards that crossed over into easy listening and pop. "The Most Beautiful Girl" is a big, tear-jerking torch song, but elsewhere Rich sounds content and fulfilled. This might be the most doting country album you've ever heard—"I Take It on Home", for instance, is arguably country's greatest anti-cheating song, with the singer turning down a one-night stand out of love for his wife.

About Charlie Rich
A soulful singer with eclectic tastes, Charlie Rich left behind a body of music that includes early rock & roll, straight country, Memphis blue-eyed soul, and jazz (at times bridging the gap between all of them). While Rich is best known for his 1970s countrypolitan hits "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl," hardcore fans prefer his earlier, grittier recordings for the Sun, Smash, and Groove labels in the 1950 and 1960s. One of music's true underappreciated geniuses, Rich died in 1995.
