CHARLIE RICH – MIDNITE BLUES/WHIRLWIND
$11.90
August 1958 brought Charlie Rich’s first solo session, resulting in a single released in November that year by Sun’s subsidiary Phillips International. The songs included were “Whirlwind” (which you can find on this piece of wax you’re holding in your hands) and “Philadelphia Baby”, sales being good enough to assure a followup in summer 1959 with “Rebound” and “Big Man”. Rich only needed one more single, released early in 1960, to get his first hit. “Lonely Weekends” spent some weeks in the charts and Charlie found himself into the star-system for a short period, as public response to his new releases wasn’t so enthusiastic in spite of such great recordings as “Gonna Be Waiting”, “Who Will The Next Fool Be”, “There’s Another Place I Can’t Go” or this “Midnite Blues” included here.
