Grammy nominated composer and recordist artist Charles Wright is a living legend, having nearly invented the fusion of soul and funk in the 1970’s, with hits like “Express Yourself,” “Do Your Thing” and “Loveland.” Wright now takes us on a literary journey with his book, Up from Where We’ve Come. The book is the true story of his life, before the fame. Charles Wright writes about his childhood and his family’s trials and tribulations on a cotton plantation. It is the quintessential pre-civil right story, from the son of sharecroppers. Get your copy of the book here.
