Let's Hear It For Charline Arthur!

Charline Arthur
The Good and the Bad
RCA Victor - 5807
1954?

MP3 File
Whenever I find a Charline Arthur disc, I always pick it up. She performed regularly on local Dallas radio program The Big D Jamboree and recorded a number of great sides for RCA, as well as a few smaller labels. It really is a shame that she isn't more well known, she has such a unique voice. Just listen to that growl...

I too grab every disc I see by her... just need the Bullet and Coin sides I believe.

"What About Tomorrow" is probably my favorite side...; Monday, September 14, 2009
