Born Charles Felton in Atlanta, Georgia in 1934.
In the late 1950s, Bill Lowery (head of NRC) hired Felton away from an addressograph company, and Felton printed sleeves for 45s and promotional materials for NRC. Felton hung around the studios in his spare time, where Ray Stevens, Jerry Reed and Joe South were backing the NRC Records artists, and became a recording engineer
In 1959 and 1960 he tried his hand at recording. His first session was produced by Ray Stevens (Viva Records) and he cut two records for Zeno Goss' Thunder/Thunder Int'l.Records.
Best known for his work as producer, (notably for Elvis Presley, from 1966 to 1977), Felton died of a stroke in 1981, four years after Elvis' death.
