Country Singer Charlie Rich Crosses Genres.
Country singer Charlie Rich. He got his start working with the Sun record label in the late 50s, writing tunes for Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Johnny Cash. From there he began making records himself. In the 70s his songs "The Most Beautiful Girl," and "Behind Closed Doors" were big country-pop hits. During the '80s he dropped out of sight. But he released a new album last year, "Pictures And Paintings," featuring jazz and blues standards (Sire/Warner/Blue Horizon). (REBROADCAST FROM 9/3/92)
