Historical Info

From "Once A Drifter" Album, 1980 Elektra.

Charles (Charlie) Rich (December 14, 1932 – July 25, 1995) was an American country music singer and musician. His eclectic style of music was often hard to classify in a single genre, encompassing the rockabillyjazzbluescountry, and gospel genres.

In the latter part of his life, Rich acquired the nickname the Silver Fox. He is perhaps best remembered for a pair of 1973 hits, "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl". "The Most Beautiful Girl" topped the U.S. country singles charts, as well as the pop singles charts and earned him two Grammy Awards. This is another beautiful cover version of the Randy Handley Song "When It's Gone". The Carpenters also covered the song and it's in the Home Grown Music collection.
