Charlie Rich was simultaneously one of the most critically acclaimed and most erratic country singers of post-World War II era. Rich had all the elements of being one of the great country stars of the '60s and '70s, but his popularity never matched his critical notices. What made him a critical favorite also kept him from mass success. Throughout his career, Rich willfully bended genres, fusing country, jazz, blues, gospel, rockabilly, and soul. Though he had 45 country hits in a career that spanned nearly four decades, he became best-known for his lush, Billy Sherrill-produced countrypolitan records of the early '70s.

Charlie Rich
Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues
Blues version- By McMurrin and Johnson
Everybody's gone away.
They're all movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around.
All my friends are leavin' town.
Some caught freight, some caught a plane.
To find the sunshine and ease the rain..
They say this town's a waste time.
I guess they're right, Ive wasted mine!
Some win, some lose.
Good time Charlie got the blues.
You know my heart keeps tellin' me,
Youre not no kid at thirty-three.
You play around you'll lose your wife,
You play too long you'll lose your life.
Ive got my pills to ease the pain,
Cant find a thing to ease the rain.
Some day Ill settle down.
All my friends are leaving town.
Some win, some lose
Good time Charlies got the blues.
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
Some win, some lose
Good time Charlie got the blues.
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie got the blues
