Charles Walker - Make It Rain
Музыка
Album: I'm Available - charleswiggwalker.com Lyrics:
If I bought you a mansion
You'd call it a one-room shack
Showed you a rainbow, baby
You would paint it black
You find your pleasure
In someone else's pain
Not a cloud in the sky
You would still find a way to make it rain
It can't be my lovin'
'Cause I give you all of me
And if I leave you out of somethin'
Lord, is a mystery to me
You get everything you ask for
But would you please explain?
Not a cloud in the sky
You still find a way to make it rain
It seem like the more I give
The more you want from me
Is your cup half empty?
And is it always gonna be?
When the sun is shinin'
I know the weather's gonna change
Not a cloud in the sky
Still
Still
Still
Make it rain
Charles Walker was born in Nashville, Tennessee on July 12, 1940. Charles or “Wigg,” as he is known by his friends (his mother nicknamed him when he was born with a full head of hair), began singing at an early age in church and school. He cut his first record in 1959 for Ted Jarrett’s legendary Champion label. One cut, “Slave To Love,” was credited to Charles Walker and the Daffodils. In fact, there was no such group as the Daffodils. The backup singers on the record were label mates the Kinglets and Larry Birdsong.
In 1960, Charles moved to New York City where studios and nightclub work were plentiful. 1962 found Charles recording with Chess Records out of Chicago, and soon he signed on as lead singer with the J.C. Davis Band. This band began touring the country opening for the greats of the era including James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Little Willie John, Otis Redding, and Sam Cooke. The J.C. Davis Band recorded some real barnstormers for Chess like “Sweet Sweet Love” and “The Chicken Scratch.” In 1964, Charles formed his own group, Little Charles and the Sidewinders. They became one of the most in demand soul bands in New York City’s nightclub scene, performing at the Apollo Theater, Small’s Paradise and venturing out to Las Vegas and Atlantic City. They subsequently recorded for Chess and Decca labels. The Sidewinders stayed together through the 60’s, and in 1969 Charles cut some sides for Botanic Records. The Sidewinders reformed in 1973 and worked as a show band in hotels, nightclubs, and casinos without the benefit of a recording contract. In 1979, Charles signed on with Motown as a staff writer.
Early in the 80’s, Charles recorded in England and re-issued many of the Sidewinders classic sides. Realizing that there was a market for soul music in the U.K., he formed his own label P.R.G. and released the single “See Me” in Europe. Charles spent most of the 1980’s in England and Spain and worked steadily and recorded occasionally, but this wasn’t enough. In 1993, he moved back to Nashville to do some serious recording, since Nashville’s blues and R&B scene was really booming. His solo releases include “I’m Available,” “Leavin’ This Old Town,” “In the House” (live with Johnny Jones) and “Soul Stirring Thing.” He also released an album on the U.K. label Zane records called “Number By Heart” in 2003.
Charles most recently was the featured singer for a band called “The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker”, and three records were released since June of 2007 on Outtasight Records. The band toured frequently in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Charles currently resides in Nashville with his wife, Marva, and frequently performs with his new group featuring Pat Bergeson (guitar), Pete Abbott (drums), and Charles Treadway (organ).
Charles is one of the few remaining original soul singers from back in the day when old school R&B/soul was brand new on the music scene. There has recently been a resurgence of this style of music, and it is finding a younger audience while rekindling memories for the old school crowd. Wigg is still delivering this style of music at a very high level, and his experience and maturity in the field of soul music gives him a perspective that is unmatched.

Hi, thanks a lot! Pls also add your playlist on apple music..just for sound quality...
I find a quiet corner of the bar to sit down - close to a rain streaked window. Check my watch, rub my tired eyes. Lean my head back against the wall, close my eyes, feel the week’s tensions slip away gradually. Distant hum of vehicles, buzz of a quiet radio maybe. The tap of the rain outside is soothing. Some quiet jazz floats through the air, I glance around but can’t locate the source. It’s late - perfect stop after a long shift; a couple students huddle in a booth, reading and sipping caffeine. I feel the distant rumble of the subway hurtle past for a few moments, a barely noticeable tremble in the table. I’ll head home soon, once the rain dies down. For now, enjoy the peaceful corner and late night city sounds. Cheers Don.
