How It All Began

In 1985 Charlie Lee was song leader at Village Baptist Church. He loved leading the congregational music. It was during that year that Charlie had an idea to host a monthly singing at his church. He would sing as a soloist and also host the singing. Before long, Charlie had three of his grandchildren, Amy, April and Jason joining him regularly singing as a trio and as back up singers for himself. Those three grandchildren became known as the "Singing Pearsons."

In August of 1988 the monthly singings were moved to the Irving Opry under the new name of Charlie and Friends Gospel MUSIC Revue. Charlie and the "Singing Peasons" hosted groups from Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. From 1989 to 1990, Charlie's monthly singings were broadcast live on KSKY Radio.

In 1993, unfortunately the Irving Opry closed its doors creating On the Road With Charlie and Friends, taking the monthly singings back to being held at different local churches.

Early 1994, Charlie started singing solo again as the "Singing Pearsons" concentrated on school. In late 1994, Amy returned to sing with Charlie concentrating as a background harmony vocalist with an occasional lead. They became known as Charlie and Company.

Over the years the Lord has opened many doors. 1995 through 1999 Charlie and Company stayed very busy singing at church, church ffinctions, Oprys, The Choctaw Festival in Oklahoma and the Music Association Convention. "We pray the Lord will continue to use us in his service."
