For the first Monday of Black Music Month, NPR said they were going to do it big. Charlie Wilson steps behind the tiny desk and leads his band through his life journey of highs and lows, a journey he describes as “…rags to riches, riches to rags, then rags to the curb, the curb to homelessness.” With 28 years of sobriety and a career that has spanned decades, we are blessed to still hear Uncle Charlie sing live.
