While tunes such as "The Jealous Kind" and "I Can't Quit You" became big hits for other performers, his own voice was perfectly suited for his material. A witty lyricist, Charles was a major influence on Randy Newman and Robbie Robertson, and the self-titled album he recorded with the Band in 1972 is one of his finest. Charles added folky introspection to R&B, but he was already such a master of the three-minute pop song, that he had nothing to prove. - Nick DedinaNew Orleans R&Ben720Sun, 27 Dec 2009 12:24:16 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4016&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fbobby-charles%2Fplaylists.rss Bobby Charles made his living as one of the great R&B songwriters of the 1950s, and his charming, laid-back New Orleans sound came off like a de-boogie-woogied Fats Domino.
