Charles Wright Pens First In Series of Autobiographies UP FROM WHERE WE'VE COME

While fans of Soul Music great Charles Wright are accustomed to hearing the singer/songwriter/guitarist shout 'Express Yourself' on oldies radio, in movies and dozens of television commercials, the multi-talented messenger has taken up his pen to complete the first in a planned series of autobiographies that detail his profound life story as a southern Black man that miraculously brought himself from poverty to prosperity. The inaugural installment is 'UP From Where We've Come' (available in stores / online October 26th), an up-close and intimate telling of the Wright family's profound struggles as sharecroppers near Clarksdale, Mississippi through the 1940s. Written in the raw dialects and rhythms of how Blacks and Whites communicated with each other in the era, it is a riveting insider's glimpse into the realities of the times.
