Charlie Rich -- Behind Closed Doors [REACTION]

[@DeborahAustin-Rogers-jf7mj]

This song is an ultimate compliment to his lady.

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

He was called The Silver Fox, my mom played his records over and over in the 70’s and I’ve loved him since then! His singing, his piano playing and his great looks. His hair and eyes are sexy! If I’m not mistaken he was married to the same woman all his life, what’s not to love about this man!❤ He has many great songs like The Most Beautiful Girl in the World.

[@bleuskye8124]

Morning Don! Now this i love! Great voice and the piano playing. The Silver Fox. I also love "Rolling With The Flow"

[@momusicfan]

"DITTO"

[@RockN2Country]

@Bleu Skye Hey Bleu, glad you enjoyed it, and always good to see you in here. :-)

[@bleuskye8124]

@@RockN2Country Right back atcha! Why don't you put "Rolling With The Flow" on the list? You will definitely like it. My personal favorite by Charlie.

[@momusicfan]

Good song...love the piano too. Reminds me of a Ronnie Milsap song because of the piano. "I'd be a legend in my time" would be a good Ronnie Milsap song to react to and add to your lengthy list. Don, thanks for doing this Charlie Rich song.

[@beegee1960]

One of the special velvety voices in country music.

[@musicheartnsoul-presley-tc4004]

Love this song! Love your reaction! 😎 TCB⚡️with❤️TLC

[@tupelohoney622]

The Silver Fox with a silver voice. What a way to start the morning. Did I see a blush or was that just a reflection from your shirt? 😉

[@RockN2Country]

@Tupelo Honey Ha!! Not sure it was a blush, but it could have been a small one. I mean, I kind of had a girl in mind for a moment there, which I may have mentioned ever so briefly. ;-)

[@alwayscrazy1]

He lit John Denver's CMA award on fire live on tv back in the 70s... said he wasn't country! Lol

[@PapaFixit]

That's funny shit right there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5eWpWaro9Vgfck

[@leanicekestner3962]

He's such a beautiful man love his voice,i us to dance to this

[@billiejoexcoffier1785]

Good Morning Don! Love Charlie Rich, such a very soothing voice. One of my many favorites. This is my favorite time in country music.

[@Rocker1983]

Rolling With The Flow is another good one by him.

[@momusicfan]

Agree 100%

[@RandyforRoyals]

Probably my favorite Charlie Rich song.

[@ajcgranny]

The most beautiful girl is another great one of his!

[@gloriashaeffer6776]

Don this was number one back in the day and boy was it addictive to listen to In my opinion it IS a Ten Thanks for doing this Brings back good memories, I did see him perform this in person what a piano player!

[@RandyforRoyals]

Charlie was a very talented individual. He started out doing some rockabilly, moved to more traditional country, then to what some call countrypolitan (this song) and even made a jazz album at the end of his career (Pictures And Paintings).

[@scottjackson1420]

I love his Floyd Cramer- styled piano. I had always assumed that it was a session player on the record. But clearly, he had the piano chops to play it himself.

[@Gary_007]

When I saw the song title and that it was a reaction, I thought "Oh Boy - this will be a great reaction." I knew it would catch you off guard. When this came out you couldn't turn the radio on without this being played. Every housewife in the country was secretly in love with 'The Silver Fox'.

[@TheBigjohn527]

Back then, I think this drifted into mainstream, at least where I lived. Good one, Don.

[@phyllispoff6959]

A great reaction....can't wait for each new review to come out. Thanks!

[@marymoody4900]

Awww... long time since I heard this..thx Don :)

[@janiebell6953]

My dad loved this song. I used to sing it around the house. My mom used to say that is not a song you can sing at church ok. Didn't get it then. How embarrassed she must have been when I sang it at Sunday School. I can still here my dad laughing about it. He was in the dog house for a bit. Great memory. Thanks to whoever requested it.

[@RockN2Country]

@Janie Bell That is a great story about your dad allowing you to do that one at church!! No doubt he did it just to see people's reactions, including your mother's. Ha!!

[@janiebell6953]

@@RockN2Country He didn't allow me to do it. I just sang it. He always said I was born talking and singing. He passed away 8/13/81 only 44 years old. I was 21. The last time I saw him was 8/9/81. We ate BBQ and sat in 1st row at Don Williams concert. I really didn't want to go but he was so excited when he told me about it, I couldn't disappoint him. I am so glad I went. We had a blast. I don't think I could have dealt with the guilt if I hadn't gone. I try to remember that even now and do things even when I may not want to. Life is precious and too short. My dad was amazing. I have my love of traditional country because of him. He also took me to see James Taylor, Jackson Browne, The Eagles and many more. especially before I could drive myself. He tried to enjoy my music also. I still miss him but was so fortunate to have him for 21 years. Thanks Don. NFL starts 9.10/20 can't wait. Also love sports because of my dad!!!!

[@rebeccas4899]

One of my favorite artists. The Silver Fox. In the early seventies, I had tickets to see him live in Pittsburgh, but he cancelled the concert because of illness. There were rumors that the real reason was alcohol. He was an extremely talented man with ghosts. I love his voice. Another good one is "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." Thanks for the reaction.

[@kimshunn7350]

Yes! The most beautiful girl song! Such a good one. He had his demons and he was not nice sometimes but a lot of artists of this time were characters. Still love their music.

[@blackngoldgal65]

WoooPigSoooWeee!! From NE Arkansas and same county that Johnny Cash was from!! Thank you for playing the Silver Fox!!

[@dansigurdson]

thats why i married a lady nothing but class morning Don HAKAD

[@scottandal]

I know that you are still relatively new to country but it shocks me just how much you haven’t heard. Not only you but just about all the reactors. I guess I’m just old !!😏

[@clayhathcock6932]

HEY DON- Thank you for today I listen to this song quit a bit it was one of my momma and daddy favorite songs of all time. In there lifetime together 50+ years. You gave me a great smile

[@PapaFixit]

What a great way to start the day. Loved your reaction to Charlie Rich. I been waiting for this for a long time.I absolutely love Charlie Rich. I'd give it a 9.5. It is entertaining it's a ride. The vocals are good. The music's good. We'll written. But it doesn't tell much of a story really. That's all that's missing. I can't consider Charlie country music (strictly speaking )....his music got lots of crossover play. Music industry didn't know where to put him do Country made a place at the table for him....lol Don! That was quite the experience for you.... I figured you'd love it if you connected with it. Or you'd dismiss it for lack of instrumentation, no story, sounding too pop. I'm so glad you liked it. What fun was that to watch! Thank you for that.

[@scotkenison]

It took me until the coarse to remember it. Grew up hearing this on the radio.

[@markbookout563]

Rollin with the flow is one of his best.

[@markbookout563]

Charlie was one smooth mutha .😎

[@acostiablown]

Should you ever decide to revisit Charlie Rich seek out his demo version of "Feel Like Going Home". One of the mostly nakedly beautiful country songs. A higher fidelity demonstration recording that stands with Hank Sr's publishing demos or Carl Perkins 50's home recordings.

[@richardfrawley161]

he was the silver fox

[@bevhankins92]

My mom loved Charlie Rich ("The Silver Fox) and this song in particular.

[@Bamaboompa]

I know this is 2 years old but THANKS! It’s been too close to 50 years ago that I played weekend country deejay while in college. This was a standing “dedication” to my girlfriend to let her know my shift was over soon and I’d be heading to her apartment. That’s all I’ll say.

[@RockN2Country]

@Bamaboompa You’re a good and proper man giving your girl time to get ready for a (cough cough) nice quiet evening. Well done!

[@richardfrawley161]

charlie was one of sun records early stars....sam phillips helped him get his start on sun records at the same time elvis, jerry lee, billy swan and carl perkins were there

[@PopKnows]

Love your reacts, Don! Keep up the great work! And Wooooe Pig!

[@pewpew7711]

Creed Fisher when your memory comes around he's bringing traditional country back you will love it

[@sabbyvk424]

Great southern classic, you can't help but to be drawn in! As others have already mentioned "Rolling With The Flow" is another great one of his. I saw the hat, but I could've sworn I heard you say "Woo Chop Sooie" or something like that LoL. ♥️🐘♥️ RTR!

[@wenbren]

My parents loved this song. . . There are 9 children in my family.

[@sandramoore]

He and his wife Margaret Ann married young and forever. She wrote a great song for him to sing, based one their marriage, Life's Little Ups and Downs. I heard it on the car radio in 1969 and it cast a spell on me that lasts today. What a singer he was. Charlie wrote many great songs. His best should be heard in the demo because it is his greatest performance ever. So please listen to those two songs and see if you agree they are his best ever.

[@warrenburlingame7087]

Great way to start the day. Thanks Don Charlie passed away in hotel in his sleep. He was moving to Florida for his wife's health. His son Charlie Rich Jr singing his dad's songs. Charlie's nic name was the silver fox

[@PapaFixit]

Well now we need to hear "Country Girls" by John Schneider. .. not because it's so great but because we need to take Don back in his mind and hear more about this southern woman......lol

[@WAC60]

Hey Don, I'd like to recomend one of my favorites by Charlie - a song called Rolling With the Flow. Also, youve mentioned you're a Merle fan so if you havent heard hid versions of Will You Visit Me On Sunday /Little Old Wine Drinker Me I think you should react to them, they are two of my favorite covers of his. I also have to say him and George singing Mobile Bay Magnolia Blossoms and his extremely relevant song Me and Crippled Soldiers are must hears.

[@joycemcfee1829]

I believe this song was used in a Clint Eastwood movie. Clint had a chimpanze (Clyde?),and they broke into a zoo to find Clyde a girlfriend. This song followed as the two chimps met and went behind "closed doors."

[@isthatwhatemptymeans8222]

My favorite Charlie Rich lyric... "While guys my age are raising kids, I'm raising hell just like I did."

[@RandyforRoyals]

Other Charlie Rich songs to experience: "Rollin' With The Flow," Sittin' And Thinkin," "It Ain't Gonna Be That Way'" and "Lonely Weekends."

[@Paranormal_Gaming_]

I HEARD THIS BEFORE I NEVER PAID TOO MUCH ATTENTION I KIND OF HUMMED IT BUT NEVER KNEW THE WORDS OMG😱😱

[@cathylanier3652]

Check out "Easy Loving" by Freddie Hart.

[@PapaFixit]

I'll second that.

[@kathysizemore9975]

It was on Clint Eastwood's movie Every Which Way But Loose. There were a lot of good songs from that movie. Coca Cola Cowboy by Mel Tillis is another good one from that movie.

[@MrRondonmon]

This song was in the Clint Eastwood Movie where they took Clyde the Orangutang to the Zoo to get him a "Little lovin'" from a female Orangutang. "Any Which Way But Loose".

[@sandramoore]

The song Charlie wrote and sang Feel Like Going Home should be listened to in the demo version. It is the best version I'v heard, although I have heard it done by others, The Notting Hillbillies, a live version by Tom Jones and Eric Clapton, a live version by Trisha Yearwood and Bonnie Raitt, and a live version by Lee Roy Parnell and Shelby Lynn. None hit as hard as Charlie's demo version. It was just CR, his piano playing and a new song he wrote. It will break your heart and then heal it again as you hear a broken man speaking to God to announce he wants to "go home."

[@lindanicholson950]

Not for reaction here but Charlie had a cute Rock and roll song called Mohair Sam long before he became the Silver Fox.

[@ValerieBoyco]

This makes me think of Kenny Rogers' Daytime Friends.

[@trudyjoejenkins9357]

Kenny Rogers is a class act! Too bad Charlie wasn’t

[@pattyyoung2103]

A beautiful love song .Has nothing to do with smut she is his wife .

[@RockN2Country]

@Patty Young Oh yeah, I totally agree with that. I didn’t say it was smut, it’s just the way he gradually led up to it being about what goes on behind closed doors that caught me off guard. Pleasantly off guard, as you could tell, but nonetheless I did not see that coming given the way the song started. :-)

[@pattyyoung2103]

@@RockN2Country I know you did not know how it would end I am very sorry just having a rough day . You have always been a gentlemen . I am sorry but today just sucks stay safe Don .

[@RockN2Country]

@Patty Young I’m sorry it’s a rough day-life can be so harsh sometimes. It usually turns around with some small thing that helps us gain our emotional footing again. Hang in there as best as you can-you’ll smile again at some point. :-)

[@GaOutlawVinyl]

Very few people recognize what he’s talking about so early in the song. Lol

[@jimmydavis1012]

Hope you do my favorite gorge Jones song ,wino the clown

[@gesundheit602]

The studio version kills this live one. Charlie’s piano playing is okay here, but nowhere even in the same league as legendary studio musician Hargus “Pig” Robbins, who played on the record.

[@jefftappan7973]

Just listen to it in black hip-hop? Not trying to be racist but dealt with racism as a white boy all my life

[@trudyjoejenkins9357]

What he did to John Denver is appalling. I saw it and even if you didn’t like him you don’t do things like that. Haven’t listened to him after that and I just had to give my opinion when I saw someone laugh at it.
