Live Your Dream by Charlie Souza

The "Hands in the Till" album and a New FORTRESS release "The Treasure Found" has been released in the United Kingdom and Japan in 2007!! The original album was produced by Freddie Piro of Ambrosia fame in 1980. Souza also played bass on a rock 'n' soul gospel album on Myrrh Records by Leon Patillo, formerly of Santana.

Charlie recorded another rock 'n' roll gospel album on Polydor Records with the Darrell Mansfield Band from Costa Mesa California. Hallelujah! Souza then teamed up with drummer Bill Lordan, one of the world's finest, who had done several Robin Trower albums and spent some time touring with Sly & The Family Stone! Charlie and Bill then had the opportunity to become a viable rhythm section, recording together in Phoenix, Arizona, on a record produced by French producer Michele Columbier for the vocalist Wendy Evans. You can now hear the team of Charlie Souza and Bill Lordan as a first class rhythm section, joined by guitar virtuoso Eric Turner, Charlie's lifelong friend and partner since their early days together in The Tropics, on this new release "Live Your Dream."

In 1999, Charlie spearheaded the 30-year reunion of the very first band he played in. On May 7, 1999, The Fabulous Tropics played at the St. Petersburg, Florida, Coliseum. It was a benefit for All Children's Hospital. The reunion was a tremendous success and many good friends were reunited in a free-spirited, fun-filled nostalgic evening, reliving the innocence of those wonderful times. This was the beginning of the resurgence of creativity for Charlie and his many talented friends. "LIVE YOUR DREAM!"

In 2001 a New Release for The Charlie Souza Band included a group collaboration CD "9 Ball in the Corner Pocket" ! Only one year after recording "Live Your Dream", the Band, featuring Eric Turner and Bill Lordan, collaborated with Charlie on a new book of nine songs entitled, "9 Ball in the Corner Pocket" Billiards anyone?
