His Columbia recording career lasted from July 1925 to September 1930. Some of his 60 recordings include:“Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down,” “White House Blues," “Take a Drink On Me,” “Old And Only In the Way”. In 1931 Hollywood offered him a deal to use a song of his for a movie. He went on a drinking binge and never returned. (bio by: Tom Denardo) Search Amazon for Charlie Poole
