Chanteuse Country US née Charlotte Denise McClain le 26
Mars
1956 à Memphis (Tennessee).
Originally
named Charlotte, Charly McClain was given her masculine moniker by neighborhood
friends in Memphis, and she also used it when she started playing hotel lounges.
When Epic Records decided it sounded catchier than Charlotte, it became a
permanent professional banner. McClain's father had tuberculosis when she was
eight, and, since she was underage for visitation rights at the hospital, she
had to communicate with him through a tape recorder. That inspired her interest
in recording, and by age 17 she was a regular on the club circuit. Signed to her
first recording contract in 1976, McClain's distinct Vocals sound provided an
edge in recognizability -- as did her appearance. She hit country's Top Ten for
the first time in 1978 with "That's What You Do to Me," followed up with 1980's
"Men," and hit the top spot one year later with "Who's Cheatin' Who." She stayed
in the upper reaches during 1982 with "Dancing Your Memory Away" and "The Very
Best Is You," then hit number one again in 1983 with her
Mickey Gilley duet "Paradise Tonight." McClain married former soap star
Wayne Massey in 1984, and their own duet ("With Just One Look in Your Eyes")
reached number five. Her last number one came with 1985's "Radio Heart," but she
continued to chart until her last recording came in 1989.
