From the 1987 Album Finer Things In Life
Signed to the New York-based Def Jam Records (via CBS), Chuck made his debut in 1987 with 'The Finer Things In Life'.
The album included the duet with Alyson Williams entitled 'Make You Mine Tonight' along with the fine ballad 'Never Gonna Let You Go' (popular in the U.K.).
That song was recorded after Chuck had heard a singer in a subway in Manhattan singing the tune.
He asked the singer if he could record the melody, which the singer agreed and Chuck asked him to contact Def Jam Records to confirm.
In 1989 he teamed up with Alyson Williams again for 'I'm So Glad' on her album 'Raw' (1989). They are both good friends.

Review Finer Things In Life
Some good sides, but not the Detroit natives' strongest effort. Ron Banks and L. J. Reynolds divide the production chores among ped on promotion cause The Finer Things In Life should have made more noise. The title cut is a nonstop groove, spiced with some clever lyrics. "Jammin' To The Bells" put the P in party, a monster in New York, it did well wherever it received air play. Chuck's a biting tenor who slides effortlessly into falsetto for effect. Chart nester, "Day By Day" is all falsetto."Real Soon," grabs and holds you as Chuck sings about finding his soul mate-REAL SOON, some tasty guitar licks are added for seasoning. The backing vocals are magnificent throughout, his duet with Alyson Williams on the romantic, "Make You Mine Tonight," gets better with time.
