Thanks Larry. I knew Charlie very well. I used to play in his Aunt's club in suburban Philly back in the day. Charlie used to stop by quite often (that was before his semi-hit with 'More today than yesterday'). A real nice guy. His thing was playing a lot of crowd-pleasing, heavy funk licks (at maximum volume). He was a great 'bar' performer (like Groove Holmes) although a lot of other players of the time (Don Patterson, Johnny 'Hammond' Smith, etc.) were technically much better organ players. Charley WAS king of the funk though, and I was very sad when he died.
