We talk to Charlie Gracie - Singer, Guitarist and Rock & Roll Pioneer. Hailing from Philadelphia, Charlie was one of the original multi-million selling recording artists hitting the US number 1 spot in the 1950s and famously knocking Elvis Presley from the top of the charts. His success carried over into the UK and he counts such rock music legends as The Beatles and Graham Nash as fans, with George Harrison in particular stating his incredible guitar style was a massive influence. Charlie toured and became great friends with music icons Chuck Berry, The Everly Brothers, Bo Diddley and the great Eddie Cochran. He continues to record and perform to this day and is truly one of the last of an incredible generation.
