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.

I Love My Friend Lyrics
Charlie Rich
And everytime you're near I can fly
High above the clouds and rain
Way above the hurt and pain
And when you're gone I fall down from the sky
But everytime you touch me I get high
I've been touched be the angels and
I've been kissed by the very best
I've been loved hard by quite a few
But after you
I forget the rest
'Cause everytime you touch me I get high
And everytime you're near me I can fly
When your fingers touch my skin
That's when I start to live again
'Cause without your love
I'd lay right down and die
Everytime you touch me I get high
