Charlie Rich: Rich and Mellow
Bill Millar, Record Mirror, 12 August 1972
"ULTIMATELY there was Charlie Rich. Rich was a Georgia cotton farmer and he was into his thirties, he had grey hair and a paunch. Still he wrote songs, played piano and sang, and he was the most beautiful and mellow sound in the world."
