📰 News we're reading

• Born on This Day in 1932, the 'Silver Fox' Country-Rockabilly Legend Behind One of the Most Controversial Moments in Country Music History (americansongwriter.com) — Music fans may be surprised to learn that country star Charlie Rich once formed a jazz-and-blues band called the Velvetones while stationed in Enid with his wife singing lead. This birthday tribute traces his journey from Arkansas farm roots and Enid Air Force days to Sun Records, major hits like “Behind Closed Doors,” and his lasting influence on country music.
