Minot, North Dakota. Charlie Rich Jr. bears an uncanny resemblance in appearance and voice to his late father. In 1995, music legend Charlie Rich Sr. left behind an immense legacy when he unexpectedly perished in a Louisiana motel room as the result of a lung embolism. Rich and his wife Margaret Ann were on their way to see their son, who was ...
On the lighter side of things, don't forget the connection between George Costanza on Seinfeld and "The Most Beautiful Girl". My favorite period of Charlie's career is the Countrypolitan of the Behind Closed Doors album followed by the Sun material. shepherdfan, Jan 10, 2007. #46.
I think Charlie Rich, Jr.'s explanation makes sense. Rich had a drinking problem and an aversion to the spotlight, and you can see here the two coming together against him in the worst way. Notably, Charlie Jr. goes on to point out that his father was the last person to ride herd on what was and wasn't authentic country music.
From the CMA website. One of the most controversial moments in CMA history happens during this live broadcast. The reigning entertainer of the year, Charlie Rich, is presenting the award for that same category. But instead of announcing John Denver as the winner, Rich sets fire to the card in disgust.

Charlie had his son, Alan, now known as Charlie Rich Jr. also on the bill. I also got to see Charlie Rich again in Las Vegas in the Hilton Showroom the next year, where Elvis use to call home, but this time Charlie's opening act was Barbie Benton, Playmate Of The Year for Playboy Magazine and Hugh Hefner's current girlfriend at that time.
The much better adjective for Charlie would be cosmopolitan rather than countrypolitan. He was rockabilly, country, jazz and more all rolled up into an incredibly talented package. If you only know Rich's early 70s hits, you know only a small portion of his rich musical story.
It's Charlie Rich Jr's favorite album of his dad's as indicated on the back of the CD. One of my favorite tracks is Dream On Me, which was a new song at the time written by Mark James who of course wrote Suspicious Minds, Always's on My Mind and Moody Blue for Elvis.
