Rockie Charles
Born For You


This CD was actually made as a response to a classified ad. A couple of years ago Rockie Charles - "The President of Soul" - placed an ad in a New Orleans entertainment directory basically to fish for a few gigs to play when he wasn't commanding a tugboat. The ad caught the eye of Orleans Records' producer, Carlo Ditta, who noted Rockie's telephone exchange was similar to the one his parents had when he was growing up on the West Bank of New Orleans. With his curiosity perked, Ditta phoned Rockie and found an amazing musician, an emotive vocalist, and an original songwriter, as well as a man with an interesting and prolific career....

Personnel

Rocky Charles guitar/vocals, Jerry Pekinto bass, John Bonvillain Jr. bass on tks 7 + 12, Rick Allen + Wayne Lohr organ, Tony D'Alessandro drums, Fred Koella lap steel, Jerry Embree tenor sax, Sean Kenny baritone sax, Wilber Tank trumpet, Smoky Greenwell harmonica, Karlene Areana + Rhea Kahler background vocals/snaps/claps, Carlo Ditta tambourine
