(Los Angeles, CA) Charles Wright, the great soul musician known for the song “Express Yourself” is proud to announce the release of his first book, “Up From Where We’ve Come.” The first installment in a planned series of autobiographies, “Up From Where We’ve Come” is an up-close and intimate telling of Charles’ childhood and the Wright family’s back-breaking struggles as sharecroppers near Clarksdale, Mississippi through the '40s and early '50s. Written in the raw dialects of how Blacks and Whites communicated during that era, it's a riveting insider’s glimpse into the realities of the times.

Do we truly know the full extent of our history?” Charles challenges. “I’m willing to bet that most of us do not have the slightest idea. ‘Up From Where We’ve Comeis the history of me as a child growing up in the cotton fields of Mississippi at a time few, except people such as myself, remember. It’s an intimate slice of America’s history.

Remember --- a pie is not complete until every slice is accounted for. ‘Up From Where We’ve Come is an important piece of history which every true American should seek to experience…especially those who are seeking the truth.”

SoulTracks.com raves, “’Up From Where We’ve Come’ emerges as a triumphant and highly unique literary statement from a man whose music has already touched several generations of fans…”
