We played “With You” by Charly McLain at our wedding in 1983 and I would like to get a cd with that song on it for our 25th anniversery celebration. Can you help?

I love Charly Mcclain, as i am trying to find all of her cd’s, and i just can not seem to get them. I have her Anthology CD, but now i need to find all the rest. I had tried all over and no one seems to be able to get them. If any one can make copies for me that would be great. Thanks

I remember well the controversy surrounding McClain – there were a few times when she seemed a bit “over-the-top” with her assertions. She was an undeniably talented singer who recorded some really great singles including “With You”, “Sentimental Ol’ You” and “Surround Me With Love” being among the best traditional sounding songs.
She was also capable of handling more pop-country songs like “Sleeping With The Radio On” and “Who’s Cheating Who”.

Her career had already lost traction when “Radio Heart” became a hit. Subsequent songs were not nearly as good and a change of labels to Mercury in 1988 did not get her career re-started. She had already completely faded away before retiring
