专辑简介

A goldsmith spends years learning as an apprentice - and the same was true for Charles as a young musician. With ten other siblings, his family was large, close-knit, and very creative. His father was a minister and the family - quite literally - was the church choir. Charles explains, "My mother became the director of the choir, which included all of my brothers and sisters. This was the first moment music was introduced to me. I was eight years old." By the age of twelve Charles had become enthralled with the sounds coming out of Detroit's MoTown sound, as well as the acts from labels such as Stax Sounds. As a teenager, the opportunity to see the Temptations on tour with their orchestra solidified his desire to be a musician.
