Thanks for starting this thread Charlie was certainly an American Icon who will never be forgotten. I can recall many fantastic concerts I attended to see him, and I was never disappointed. While we all come into the world kicking and screaming, we can only hope that when we leave it will be quite and peaceful, and that is my hope for him because he certainly deserved no less, RIP Charlie.

Big Jim Posted July 7, 2020 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2020 When I heard the news today I had to play his Decade of Hits album, the only one of his that I have. I do the same for most artists' passing, if I have their material. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
