I wouldn't call it psychedelic pop, more like middle of the road (MOR). It made the Top 40 in 1968. He wrote, produced, and sang with Bubba Fowler.
Gotta wonder how many times a day Chuck kicks himself. Back in the early 80s, he was hosting “Wheel of Fortune,” and decided he needed a pay raise. He went to Merv Griffin, the creator and producer of the show. Apparently, Chuck overplayed his hand and Merv told him to hit the bricks. He was replaced by a TV weatherman who had recently joined the staff at KNBC-TV in Los Angeles. His name: Pat Sajak.
At last report, Pat was making $8 million a year hosting “Wheel,” and he works two weekends out of every month. Interestingly, Pat is also conservative. So, at one time in the late 90s, there were as many as three conservatives in southern California, counting that guy in Pasadena, Chuck (before he decamped for Texas) and Pat when he was in town to tape “Wheel.”
