==History==
He began his career in the 1950s as a performer on the country music [[television]] show, "[[Town Hall Party]]." Appearing as "Bobby Charles" he was singing and doing vocal imitations of a dozen or so of other personalities in 1955, the same year he graduated from [[Compton, California|Compton High School]].
 
Later, his career took him to [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]] where he worked in recording studios as a [[sideman]]. In 1973, he recorded his first solo album, ''[[The Legend of Sir Robert Charles Griggs]]''. The album, while not a big seller and now out of print, has achieved an underground cult status. Produced by [[Gary Paxton]], it is an innovative showcase of experimental [[alt-country]] music, with all songs written by Griggs himself. [[Moog synthesizer]]s and sound effects on some tracks set this album apart from the rest, as being ahead of its time.
