16、ngs (actually, maybe because of that), Rich found himself without hits until 1973, when he became a superstar due to the great success of Behind Closed Doors. After all, this was a musician that had a minor country hit in 1970 with a revision of Frank Sinatra's Nice “N” Easy.Behind Closed Doors,

17、 in some ways, is a similar spirit to that single，since it's perfect between country and pop. Lyrically, it was a perfect country song；the narrator promises his devotion to his woman and how nobody understands their love, since they don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Musically, the

18、 melody certainly had a country rhythm，but it was stately, assured，and melodic, the kind of song that any singer would have been eager to make his or her own. Many tried. Percy Sledge, Albert King, Tom Jones, Dolly Parton, and Freddy Fender all recorded it; so did many other artists, including instr

19、umentalists like Boots Randolph and Floyd Cramer. All of these were listenable；some were revelatory；many were pleasant，serving to illustrate what an adaptable, well­designed song Kenny O'Dell wrote. Still，Charlie Rich's original version outdid them all, since it not only had one of Bill

20、y Sherrill's most excellent productions but Rich's astonishing, delicate delivery made it seem like he had written the song himself about his own love for his wife.It became a hit not just on the country charts，where it peaked at Number One, but on the pop charts as well. It was named Single

21、 on the Year by the CMA.In the same year, 1973, Rich was named Male Vocalist of the Year, largely due to this song and its successor, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World and it went gold.
