Charlie Gracie tells Tom about his career and musical history. 

Charlie Gracie is a musical rock 'n' roll legend. He was born as Charles Anthony Graci on May 14, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father worked at Stetson Hat Company and bought Charlie his first guitar after World War II. Charlie's father encouraged him to play the guitar after Charlie asked him to buy him a trumpet. When Charlie was 16 years old he performed on the Paul Whiteman television show in 1952. From there, he became a recording artist and stage performer. Charlie continues to perform to this day and he took some time off before the COVID arrived in the United States to talk with Tom about his history and musical career.
