==Life and musical career==
Charles was born in Minnesota with the surname Grosskopf.〔Villamil, p. 100〕 He attended The University of Southern California as a college student and studied singing with Charles Modini Wood. He eventually went to New York City, changed his surname to Charles, and began his professional life as a singer, performing in vaudeville and Broadway reviews, including ''Earl Carroll's Vanities'' in 1928 and the ''George White Scandals'' in 1929.〔Claghorn, p. 90〕 His songs became widely known after 1932, when John Charles Thomas performed his song ''Clouds'' in a New York recital.〔Baker and Slonimsky, p.318〕 Following that success, he continued to compose songs regularly until about 1950. At that time he lived with his wife, a mezzo-soprano, in New York City, and produced the radio program ''Great Moments in Music''. He returned to California in 1953, settling in Beverly Hills, where he spent the remaining years of his life.〔Villamil, p. 98〕
