Behind Closed Doors
In 1973, after nearly 15 years on the fringes of success, Charlie Rich scored big with Behind Closed Doors and was briefly catapulted to the level of superstar. The album is built around Rich's soulful singing and the dynamic and purposeful arrangements of producer Billy Sherrill. "Take It on Home" is typical: we begin with just Rich's deep, smoky voice, his own piano, and a barely audible drum tap. Soon, though, strings enter, climbing slowly, slowly, to an impassioned crescendo, then falling away entirely to underscore the declaration of fidelity that is the song's point: "I take it on home because I believe she'd do the same for me." Like most of the album, it'll give you goose bumps. --David Cantwell
