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 COUNTRY HITS, by Joel Whitburn) |
