I love his son now Allan Rich , AKA Charlie Rich Jr. He has shown us as well some of the BEST ballads in the World . If you can see this Jr. Sorry for your Dad's loss ! Love from Oregon Steve Mc
I loved his music way back in high school in 1974 in Australia in the middle of the Australian bush. I used to mail order his cassettes from Readers Digest. Still enjoy him today.
Thank you for this beautiful work, my grandfather was a huge fan of the silver fox, when i was a kid he'd open up the living room windows put on one of his record and crank it up as loud as it could go, then he'd head out on the porch and just rock away on his chair puffin on his pipe while sipping on a glass of whiskey and proceeded to say word for word "they done this man shady!
Thank you for piecing these two documentaries together. I remember first watching CR when he had his massive hit ‘The Most Beautiful Girl’ U.K. television as a 10 year old. I got into 50’s Rock’n’Roll in the mid seventies and discovered his Sun Records recordings, ‘Whirlwind’ ‘Break Up’ ‘Midnight Blues’ among others. C.R Jazz influenced piano playing caught my attention from his time at RCA .CR’s Smash Records blew me away too, via a US Pickwick Compilation.. ‘ Ain’t Gonna Be That Way’. His Hi Records material.. ‘Pictures & Paintings’ .. awesome performances on that album.
In about 1994 or 95 I was living in New Orleans. My roommate was sort of a hero of mine as far as musical tastes go. He knew everything about everything and everything he listened to was great. He threw on "Sittin' and Thinkin'" one day and my jaw hit the floor. I was like "who in God's name is this??" He's like "You never heard of Charlie Rich???" Been a voracious fan ever since. Been to Sun Records. Lived in Memphis for a while. I love Charlie Rich. One of the greatest artists to have ever lived.
Just got done watching part one and part two. Excellent job! Always wish there was a documentary about him. I’m only 55 but I remember his music as a child. Seem like a very sweet man. Thank you again.
Thank you for this soulful "unofficial" LOL work of art. it would have been easier to keep wishing it existed, but you made it happen. I appreciate getting a slightly longer glimpse into the soul of this musician than what I can hear on vinyl.
@@CharlieRichArchive Having watched part 1 with lots of pause, rewind, rewatch : I must tell you this ! Its really powerful to hear Sam Phillips describe Charlie Rich as a multidimensional multifaceted talent who had "feel" at the center of gravity to all those facets. And then to hear Johnny Cash echo that by saying " he was the one guy from Sun Records who shouldve made it but didnt ". For me there's also something haunting to hear between spoken words during Charlie's 1992 home studio interview at the piano (part 1). I truly get this feeling hard to describe.... I call it the "hole in the soul" where a person just cant forgive themselves or allow themselves to recieve the good things in life. Even if that's all pish posh, I still believe where ever Charlie is now, he can feel the appreciation and recieve the love that you put into this tribute.
@@daisymoses6812 I feel satisfied when I read this type of comments. It means that my unofficial movie is works and reaches the goal. My goal was to show people how deep, talanted and underrated Charlie was as a musician. Because for the most people Charlie was just a guy with gray hair who sings, "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl". And this movie open a door to small part of Charlie's life where you can see that he was much more than just a guy with two hits in the 70s. Great comment from you, Daisy! I really enjoy to read it. All the Best, Tim
I remember as a kid seeing him playing the piano. He looked like an old man but sang like a young man. He was a bit of an enigma in that. I knew the words to the most beautiful girl because it played so much.
@ Charlie Rich Archive ,HI Tim ,I really enjoyed watching this In-depth documentary , YES ,Charlie was a Brilliant artist ,Just like Rockin'Jerry Lee Lewis , both Great talents !! --- I love Charlie's early records on Phillips International --- SUPERB !! ---- YES , Many thanks for this VERY Interesting Info. etc.etc. ---- John UK.
Good job, Charlie has definitely been overlooked a bit in music history, he has some really classic tunes. Fan documentaries are usually better than 'official' ones too since fans go more into detail and don't skip stuff or skip back and forth through various years like official bio's do.
Thanks so much for you comment! Yeah, Charlie is really underrated as a musician. By the way, I made this fan movie :) And I'm really glad if you enjoyed! Kind Regards, Tim.
Great little documentary about Charlie. The song that brought me here was, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world. Thank you for putting this together! Nicely done.
Charlie was a very talented guy. I really love his recordings of "I Don't See Me In Your Eyes Anymore" and "Its All Over Now", the latter of which I believe Charlie wrote. Two of my favorite recordings.
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it and glad that you're liked it! I play this opening piano theme :) This is my simple arrangement on the main theme of the Charlie's song 'You Don't Know Me'. Kind Regards, Tim
@@CharlieRichArchive Wow! Really? I think it's fantastic! I love the sound. I play guitar but I'd like to learn piano. But yeah man, great film and really fantastic music you're making. If you have a link to your music or something, please let me know. Thanks a lot for your reply!
I found it fascinating, that the one, and only Elvis Presley emulated Charlie Rich, and equally, unbeknownst to Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich emulated Elvis Presley. The both never knew this till they finally both met long after they both established themselves. Fate. Pure fate.
Mohair Sam, Elvis had it on his jukebox on continuous loop the the nite he meet the Beatles but this was 65 or 66 Elvis got out of Army in 60 so you might be thinking of another song. T.C.B.
What part of his career were these alleged unreleased demos of his recorded. Indeed he was underrateated, as stated in the video, but still a classic name to Country and Rock 'N' Roll fans.
I linked this in a Country Music Newsletter called Diane’s Country Music Newsletter so you should get some more views,,,, Diane Diekman does the newsletter and wrote two great bios on Faron Young and Marty Robbins.
Such a talent and such a unique piano style and wonderful voice. His easy talking southern style reminds some of Roy Orbison. I have all of his hits on my Spotify list. MohaIr Sam came on one day in the shop and someone said....wow who is that?....none other than Charlie RIch I said.
Terry Gross did a great interview with Charlie. She is the female interviewer heard here. Search: Fresh Air Charlie Rich The interview is part of the Fresh Air archives. There are many other artist interviews in those archives as well.

Thank you for honoring Charlie Rich….As far as talent and soul, Charlie has always been the richest man in town!
You're welcome! Kind Regards, Tim.
so glad I found this... both parts of Charlie's story is wonderful thank you for your work... I miss the Silver Fox and his beautiful voice.

Great documentary on a man who's music lives on. Thanks for making this!
So glad you made this.. He is one of my favorites.. I often wondered why there was no story about him... such a great artist..
Thanks for the kind words! I had the same question, why hasn't anyone made a single movie about Charlie? He definitely deserves it. All the Best, Tim.
He had such a raspy speaking voice, but such a smooth singing voice.
Thanks SO much for making this!
You're welcome! Glad if you enjoyed! All the best, Tim
A voice!* when i first heard it, i loved it... a song singer worth listening to
Just got done watching part one and part two. Excellent job! Always wish there was a documentary about him. I’m only 55 but I remember his music as a child. Seem like a very sweet man. Thank you again.

Charlie Rich could sing as good as Elvis and sound about like him if he took a notion!
Charlie was also talented as a composer and pianist! :) Best Regards, Tim.

Underrated man, I think he was beautiful and talented, Im a huge Elvis fan, he obviously was influenced by him 😊
Really great documentary! Thanks! What is the opening piano bit from? It's gorgeous.

He was very talented. Had his Demons for sure but that is part of Music.
Did he leave the World a better place for his being? YES he did.

What is the intro piano song called?
Hello, it's a kind 'You Don't Know Me' piano version of Charlie Rich, which I played and recorded by myself specially for this fan movie.
@@CharlieRichArchive sounds amazing!!!!! U should make a video of just u playing it!!!!!
@@TuPapiiiChulo Thank you! Ok, I try :) At this moment I have a couple videos with my piano playing.
Just a little bit of luck and he would had been as big star as Elvis...
He had a huge hit while Elvis was in the service. They played it during the documentary.
