KeithS SUBS 6th Jul 2016		Review I remember Charlie and his huge Guild guitar and his early tour of England when we were fascinated to see the original US artists . Those very few who came to the UK in those early days have obviously left a lasting impression. According to Charlie, he was already a fantastic, seasoned young performer by the time he got to Cameo records and was earning good money singing in clubs and dances but argued with this new started,unsure, struggling little label about his earnings from two best selling records. This got him into lots of trouble and his career was doused forthwith. From that point on he became a local musician struggling to keep bread on the table. Personally I am not interested in watching singers from the 1950's hobbling around and singing their teen-age hits. Those little records were of their time..and of my time..AT that time. Hearing their take on the happenings of those times is far more interesting. This book is full of Charlie meeting famous singers who say "Wow!!! I can't believe its you. You are the reason I became a showbiz personality". Charlie makes a point of being a humble guy but manages to teach Eddie Cochran to play cool guitar licks and describe Buddy Holly as fantastic although he wasn't much of a guitar player and didn't have much of a voice. ....and his faith in God also helped of course 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
