Charlie Sexton - Impressed

Had the hair. Had the looks. Had the voice. Had the guitar skills. Sadly, misguided by the industry, and then dropped when it didn’t work. Like Mellencamp’s early career.

こっちを1stシングルにすれば良かった。ビーツ〜は悪く無いけど少し欲張って個性が隠れてしまった印象。スプリングスティーンのダンシンインザダークみたいで良いし彼の1番良い所である声を聴かせるためにはこっちがベストだったのでは？

"Mickey and the rodent Queen" ... LOL, I don't know why that's funny, but it just is ...

Totaly could play. Roadhouse film.,bob dylan. Maybe a stevie vay. I reckon john mayer knows of him. Even john is way more jazz & blues.

Keith forsey was sort of under the radar folks. If u know ure late 70s, early 80s music!

Did u guys enjoy charlie on the hughes film "some kind of wonderful" probably the best soundtrack 80s teen film.

Its my understanding that Charlie DID make it big, although not commercially. I believe he did studio work and wrote for the likes of Dylan and other big names and worked big time behind the scenes.

Ahead of his time-- he would have torn up American Idol in the 00's and it still holds up, so fresh and a such a clean voice.

cool

Should have been bigger…

Masterpiece 80´s song !! Underrated !

84...AUSTIN TEXAS BABY!!!!

Anyone know who's the director of the video?

Sometimes, a person can be too perfect and outshine all others knowing this he is content to just let it be known and then step back and enjoy his life.... that is the legacy of Charlie Sexton.....he had it all....

David Bowie nurtured this kid, love it, but after Bowie left that was it..

What a gorgeous man. Looks like a male Angelina Jolie and sounds like Bowie.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting not only Charlie but Bob Dylan as well in Perth, Australia 2001. Charlie was a top bloke; Bob was a grumpy little man.

David Bowie had this covered, But its fucking great

He was my first concert in Eugene when I was...13? And now at 50. I'm emotional. Charlie and I spent many hours together in my crucial years. Not literally, of course. Sadly.
I waited close to 4 hours after the show to catch a glimpse . Got chased by security. Took my camera and when i decided to fight authority. Memories. I'm going to try like hell to meet him now at 50! Wish me luck at McMenamins June 2nd. I'm just putting it out there.

The Charlie Sexton revival continues further apace.

I would swear his name rings out (Someone mentions his name) or I have one of his videos turn up somewhere in my social media feed.

I can't think of anyone who deserves a comeback or comeup thirty-some odd years after his initial debut...

French-like facial features. Charlie was very popular in Japan at the time of his debut. It's been a while since I've seen his videos, but his singing is good. He has aged very well.
I used to admire Texas. Now Texas seems to be in trouble with illegal immigrants.

He should’ve been in the exact same category and fame that Billy Idol achieved

Such an 80’s icon. ❤ I don’t want to sound old but most of today’s music just doesn’t have any soul in it.

Saw them perform this at the Star theater in Youngstown as the second set following Donnie Iris, in 1985.

They never topped the energy of that show, and yet Donnie Iris is in his seventies now and still kicking butt.

I love it. Never heard this before but this is exactly the style of 80s I have been looking for . Came up by accident looking for a scene out of taxi driver . 😂

やっぱり大好きだなー❤

He has heart throb looks definitely.His singing and guitar playing rivals many of the masters of today and yesterday.Maybe more so.He had it all but was never lifted to stardom.Very sad.I know the world misses you Charlie.

sooooo many memories attached to this song throughout lo these many years. omg. i’m so

Charlie! Where have you been????? PLEASE consider touring!

He was on MTV, but he wasn’t promoted enough.

He went a played a huge part of Bob Dylan's never ending tour. He played guitar for Bob. Since the mid nineties.

Me and a friend saw him in Seattle on this tour at the Paramount. He was amazing. Not sure how he never blew up to be a superstar but I will never forget that show. He was 16 I think at the time.

I think myself a lucky guy knowing this cool song when young.

...how blessed we were to had been teenagers then ugh...💪

Written by the underrated Tonio K.

I like how Charlie’s hair gets wet in the rain but that girls hair stays dry

Not a has been though, played behind Bob Dylan - for instance - so no slouch

I grew up in Austin...friends with Charlie & Will. Good times on 6th Street...back before it became L.A. pt 2

One of my mother and I’s favourite songs. We’d sing the lyrics at each other loudly. You were 54 years too young mumma. I’m alone at 23 singing the lyrics now. Wherever she is, I hope she’s singing them back at me still

❤👍

チャーリー・セクストン

Flowers for Algernon
