Charlie Chamberlain (July
14, 1911-July 16, 1972)
"If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue
Or walk with kings...nor lose the common touch,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run...
Yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
And...which is more...you'll be a Man, my son."
Rudyard Kipling wrote those words,
Roger Whittaker sang them, and Charlie Chamberlain lived them.
Read more about the man who was arguably
Canada's most beloved entertainer, an icon of his era and pioneer
in truly Canadian country music in this toast to Charlie.
