Why do I get the feeling that a little idiot named Justin stole lyrics from Charlie Rich. It makes sense, because Charlie Rich has more talent than every other pop singer now. Surprising coming from a dude who's 14.
Yes, it was definitely recorded during his time at Groove Records, and it was a cover version as well (I'm unsure who did the original, but it also has versions by Tennessee Ernie Ford and Patsy Cline). It was unreleased until 1974; it went #1 on the Country chart near the end of the year, made the top 50 of the Hot 100, and appeared on the Easy Listening (now Adult Contemporary) chart. As always, Charlie put feeling into this, and the quality is great! R.I.P. 12/14/32-7/25/95
He had an LP album Called "She Called Me Baby" and I haven't found this song on any other LP or Cd, but I will keep looking. I guess this is my favorite.
Wow, thought only the late, great Patsy Cline sang this song. This is as good a version as hers, a little different, but still a good one. Thanks for posting it.
@frentzbravo7 The exact recording date is 4 February 1965. In 1974, when Charlie was having his big hits on the Epic label, his old record company RCA put out this old recording (produced by Chet Atkins) that hadn't been released at the time.
@bishopaz ... you are right.. this song was recorded in 1964.. it was not released until 1974... the song was #47 on billboard, but was #1 on the country charts... great song.
Thanks for the lyrics! Such an improvement over the static-picture-and-nothing-else songs on here. I just heard Kandi today and have been exploring the different versions of She Called Me baby, and this is quite a rendition.
@myself248 same here. I've listen to the original done by Patsy Cline in '63 then to Candi Staton redoing it r&b style. Kandi is great with Candi doing the chorus
#1 hit on the Billboard country chart for 1 week in 1974

@bishopaz : This was likely recorded between 1963 and '65, during Charlie's (then) unsuccessful stint with Groove and RCA.
