...dozen years as the soul of soul, presents a rather touched-up portrait today. His once rough edges are smoothed out, but he is still one of the most convincing singers on records. He inflects his lines freshly, and with faultless timing underlines every nuance-whether in warm pop like Yesterdays or pale blues like Never Say Now. As a member of the interracial musical exchange, Charles now borrows the sweetly lyrical Eleanor Rigby from his long-term debtors, the Beatles...
