The attached article tells how Charles Chalmers got started playing sax with Willie Mitchell, and how Willie Mitchell got Charles started with Rhodes Chalmers Rhodes as permanent back-up singers for HI Records. Even more surprising is how Charles' talent afforded him the opportunity of working with Jerry Wexler and Tom Dowd -- playing sax and writing the musical arrangements for Aretha's biggest early hits at Fame studio for Atlantic Records. What an all-around talented guy Charles is!
