Charline Arthur: Welcome To The Club (LP)

(Bear Family Records) 16 tracks RCA 1953 - 1956 (1 unissued), gatefold cover

In the mid-fifties, female country singers took their cue from Kitty Wells. They stood reservedly on stage in Gingham and sang of unrequited love. Then came Charline Arthur, who burst out of a rowdier universe, a place where the boogie was woogie, diamonds were flashed, and men were picked up and dropped. She was one of the few women who could hold her own on stage with Elvis and the Rockabillies. Her unpredictable temper earned her a somewhat controversial image in the industry, which in turn matched her razor-sharp, larger-than-life vocal style. Charline herself was not overly modest in her self-assessment: "Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee and Patsy Cline all modelled their style after me in a way," she said. "I was a trendsetter. I was a blues singer and I wanted to sing something different. I wanted to be an original. I was the first one to break out of that Kitty Wells stereotype. I was shaking that thing on stage long before Elvis thought about it. I worked harder on stage than he ever did."

Born in Henrietta, Texas, in September 1929, she was the second of 12 children, and when she was four years old, she moved with her family to Paris, Texas. By 1945, she was already singing on the KPLT in Paris. Then a travelling medicine show came through town and she left. In 1949, she sang in small clubs and honky tonks, and a gig in Dallas brought her the opportunity to record two songs for Bullet Records.

Charline was playing on KERB in Kermit, Texas, when Colonel Tom Parker came by and heard her singing on the air. He brought her to the attention of the Aberbachs at Hill & Range Music, who secured the rights to her original songs and placed them with RCA. She and Elvis toured Texas together in 1955. "I did a lot of shows with Elvis," she said, "and I loved him very much. He always told me, 'My mum buys all your records, puts them under my nose and lets me listen to them'. She thinks you're great."

When her RCA contract expired in 1956, Charline found herself at odds with her label and Hill & Range, as well as the music business in general. She moved to the West Coast in 1965, then retired to rural Idaho in 1978 to live in a trailer on a modest monthly disability pension of $335. "I'm like the old fire truck that Minnie Pearl sometimes talks about." I'm always ready, but rarely called upon," she said forlornly.

Charline Arthur died in her sleep on 27 November 1987 (Bob Allen).

Charline Arthur

Mitte der fünfziger Jahre haben sich die Country-Sängerinnen an Kitty Wells orientiert. Sie standen zurückhaltend auf der Bühne in Gingham und sangen von unerwiderter Liebe. Dann kam Charline Arthur, die aus einem rowdyhafteren Universum hervorbrach, einem Ort, an dem der Boogie woogie war, Diamanten geblitzt wurden, und Männer wurden aufgegriffen und abgeworfen. Sie war eine der wenigen Frauen, die sich auf der Bühne mit Elvis und den Rockabillies behaupten konnte. Ihr unberechenbares Temperament brachte ihr ein etwas kontroverses Image in der Branche ein, das wiederum zu ihrem messerscharfen, überlebensgroßen Gesangsstil passte. Charline selbst war in ihrer Selbsteinschätzung nicht allzu bescheiden: "Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee und Patsy Cline haben alle in gewisser Weise ihren Stil nach mir gestaltet", sagte sie. "Ich war ein Trendsetter. Ich war Bluessängerin und wollte etwas anderes singen. Ich wollte ein Original sein. Ich war der Erste, der aus diesem Kitty Wells Stereotyp ausbrach. Ich habe das Ding auf der Bühne geschüttelt, lange bevor Elvis darüber nachgedacht hat. Ich habe auf der Bühne härter gearbeitet, als er je gearbeitet hat."

Geboren im September 1929 in Henrietta, Texas, war sie das zweite von 12 Kindern, und als sie vier Jahre alt war, zog sie mit ihrer Familie nach Paris, Texas. Bereits 1945 sang sie auf der KPLT in Paris. Dann kam eine Reisemedizin-Show durch die Stadt und sie ging. 1949 sang sie in kleinen Clubs und Honky Tonks, und ein Auftritt in Dallas brachte ihr die Gelegenheit, zwei Songs für Bullet Records aufzunehmen.

Charline spielte auf KERB in Kermit, Texas, als Colonel Tom Parker vorbeikam und ihren Gesang auf Sendung hörte. Er machte die Aberbachs bei Hill & Range Music auf sie aufmerksam, die sich die Rechte an ihren Originalsongs sicherten und sie bei RCA platzierten. Sie und Elvis tourten 1955 zusammen durch Texas. "Ich habe viele Shows mit Elvis gemacht", sagte sie, "und ich habe ihn sehr geliebt. Er sagte mir immer: "Meine Mama kauft alle deine Platten, steckt sie mir unter die Nase und lässt mich sie hören". Sie findet dich toll."

Als ihr RCA-Vertrag 1956 auslief, stand Charline im Widerspruch zu ihrem Label und Hill & Range sowie zum Musikgeschäft im Allgemeinen. 1965 zog sie an die Westküste und zog sich dann 1978 in den ländlichen Raum von Idaho zurück, um in einem Wohnwagen mit einer bescheidenen monatlichen Invaliditätsrente von 335 Dollar zu leben. "Ich bin wie das alte Feuerwehrauto, von dem Minnie Pearl manchmal spricht." Ich bin immer bereit, aber selten gefordert", sagte sie einsam.

Charline Arthur starb im Schlaf am 27. November 1987. Bob Allen
