About Me |
|
| Charlie Craig was born and raised in Watts Mill, South Carolina, a cotton mill village two miles from the city square in Laurens, South Carolina. He performed on a Saturday morning live radio show at age 15 in Laurens in 1952 singing as a duet with a high school friend.Charlie began working clubs, high school auditoriums and theaters after graduating from high school in 1955. In 1968 he moved to Nashville, Tennessee and began a 37 year songwriting career that is still ongoing today.Charlie says in his book, Looking back on my life in this dazzling world of country music, I sometimes wonder if I am somebody else and not that kid from Watts Mill, South Carolina that used to sit up on an iron rail across from the cotton mill and daydream about the life I have been living in this business of country music for more than thirty seven years. How could I possibly have known that the Sears & Roebuck Silvertone guitar I got when I was about fourteen years old would lay the musical path to Nashville, Tennessee and pair me up with the likes of Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash and a lot of other great stars. It still amazes me how this all happened. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I didn't know anybody important. I didn't even have a rabbit's foot. So why me? I don't honestly know. I do believe that God gave me a gift and something inspired me to take that gift and make it my craft.Some of Charlie Craigs more than 300 recorded credits as a songwriter are listed below.Wanted - Alan Jackson Bring on the Night - Alan Jackson
