"Crown Prince of Soul"
Charles Wilson is an award winning blues and soul singer and recording
artist from Chicago.
Charles Wilson is an exciting and captivating performer capable of
launching an audience into a frenzy with one verse.
His voice oozes soul, seasoned by years of performing on the Chitlin’ Circuit.
He offers a musical bridge between old-school soul and neo-soul. To say
Charles Wilson was born to sing the blues is an understatement.
Charles Wilson is connected to the roots of the tree that is contemporary
blues/soul music. From the age of four, Wilson – nephew of the late blues great
Little Milton – would go with his father to see his Uncle Milton’s performances
at Chicago’s Regal Theater. The Regal was where he first met blues artists, such
as Howlin’ Wolf, Bobby Blue Bland, Junior Wells, and B.B. King.
Charles Wilson began singing publicly at age seven. By the age of 14, he
was flooring Chicago blues-club audiences with his powerful stage presence and
soulful voice. He caught his first big break at 16 when he went on the road with
Bobby Rush. Wilson would eventually open up for Rush and other blues royalty
such as Otis Clay, Little Milton, Tyrone Davis, Bobby Blue Bland, Lattimore,
Denise LaSalle, Koko Taylor, B.B. King and the late great Z.Z. Hill, Junior
Wells, Albert King, O.V. Wright, and Albert Collins.
