Born Charles Hatcher in Nashville, Tennessee, Starr formed his first group, the Future Tones, in 1957, recording one single before his three-year army service. In 1965, he was offered a solo deal following two years of touring with another band.

He made a brief comeback during the disco craze, and later spent most of his time touring Europe on the oldies circuit.
