Is this the same Charlie Rich who recorded "Behind Closed Doors"? That's whose name came up on Google. I was wondering why he was the main one. I had no idea that he had a hit song before the 70's! Thanks!:)

Yes. It is the same man. Actually, his first hit was five years before that, in
1960 ("Lonely Weekends," which peaked at No. 22). He was originally signed by
Sam Philips' Sun label as a rockabilly artist. "Behind Closed Doors" reached the
No. 15 spot (in 1973), but his biggest hit was "The Most Beautiful Girl" (which
reached No. 1, on Oct. 27, 1973). Rich had eight Top 40 songs on the pop
charts and 31 hits on the Billboard country chart. He died, at 62, of an acute blood
clot on July 25, 1995. The singer/pianist/songwriter first played jazz and blues. He had his own jazz group, the Velvetones, in the mid-1950s, while in
the U.S. Air Force. "The Silver Fox" was CMA 1973 Male Vocalist of the Year
and 1974 Entertainer of the Year. (Source: THE BILLBOARD BOOK OF TOP 40
