Charline Arthur
Charline Arthur (also Charlene Arthur, née Charline Highsmith; September 2, 1929 – November 27, 1987) was an American singer of boogie-woogie, blues, and early rockabilly. In 1950, Arthur began work as a singer and a disc jockey at the Texas radio station KERB. She left three years later after the impresario Colonel Tom Parker discovered her, signing her with RCA Records. She was a regular performer on the Big D Jamboree radio program throughout the 1950s and 1960s. She also performed and toured with Elvis Presley and others, but in 1956 RCA dropped her from the label and her career declined. Described as a "flash in the pan" and a "woman before her time",〔 Arthur was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame〔 and has, since the 1980s, found favor with critics who praise her vocal style, her stage presence, and her influence on artists such as Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline.
==Early life==
Charline Highsmith was born in 1929 to a Pentecostal minister and his wife from Henrietta, Texas. The family was poor but musically inclined, and music was a central part of her family life.〔 Her ambition was to play guitar; she collected bottles and cashed them in to raise the money for her first guitar. An early influence was the Texas boogie-woogie artist Ernest Tubb. By the age of 15 Charline was performing on KPLT radio station in Paris, Texas. She joined a traveling medicine show after winning the show's talent contest. Charline married Jack Arthur, the show's bass player, in 1948. He later performed on some of her records and managed her during the early part of her career.〔
After Charline left the medicine show she played in bars and clubs. She cut her first record in Dallas, in 1950, "I've Got the Boogie Blues/Love is a Gamble" (Bullet Records). She moved to Kermit, in West Texas,〔 where she worked for a while as a DJ and singer, stirring up some controversy. Colonel Tom Parker was one of those who took notice of her. Parker got Charline into a recording studio in Nashville in 1952, where she signed with RCA Victor.〔 Republished in 〕
