I guess he'll be kissing a real angel in the morning. Rest in peace, Charlie.

He was good and well liked. Too many good people going that route.

Little known fact, before he was a country star he was a pitcher in the negro leagues.

We saw him perform in the Greenville Texas Municipal Auditorium several years ago. He was a great musician, and he always seemed like a genuinely nice man. RIP Charley!
