Rockie Charles - There Is A Rainbow Hangin' Over My Shoulder

With the internet these days there's really no need to take a punt on random CDs by people you've never heard of but I just can't help myself. And when you pick up a little beauty like Born For You by Rockie Charles who needs Spotify eh? Sadly Rockie seemingly never really got the acclaim he deserved and after releasing a few singles back in the 60s and very early 70s he ended up working as a tugboat captain and oyster fisherman before relaunching his music career in 1994. A trio of albums followed, the last completed just prior to his death in 2010 at the age of 67. Ripe for rediscovery? Hell yeah. All hail The President of Soul.
