This sounds like a self-parody of "Lonely Weekends," but one of the greatest things about Charlie Rich was that he was all quality, no quantity! So that's nothing to complain about here. In fact, Charlie had done it again! (As in, make a great recording.) (The only notable difference other than the lyrics is the solo (guitar instead of sax.) Recording date is unknown, but it was released on May 1960. It didn't chart, but stats don't tell everything, as he proved time and again (Also his song).
Hmmm...The thing is, stats on trade charts not named Billboard are usually not brought up much, if at all, hence "didn't chart." Perhaps I should've added "...to my knowledge." After all, how am I supposed to know something charted elsewhere? (Then again, "My First Ride" by Ronnie Milsap and Trace Adkins didn't chart on Billboard, but did elsewhere, according to an interview with Ronnie.) Thank you for telling me! No really, thank you! (To self: you forgot the right parentheses mark.)
As a kid, I only knew his big hits in the 70's.
About 1979, I discovered his Sun, RCA, Groove, and Smash tracks.
I was shocked at how great a feel he had for R&B and jazz stuff...
a great singer whose best material is not as well known as I'd like it to be ..
.thanks to this post maybe it will be more well known!
I like some of Charlie's early cuts much better than his Nashville hits! I finally decided that in his youth he had a really fine voice, much like Elvis also had (in his youth).
