Charles A. “Charlie” Davis
, 68, of Lake Wynonah, South Manheim Township, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday at home.

Born on November 3, 1952 in Pottsville, he was a son of the late John E. “Jack” Davis and the late Arlene E. Heinbach Davis. He was a 1970 graduate of Schuylkill Haven Area High School, and attended Penn State.

He was an entertainment agent with Paradise Artists, Ojai, California. Charlie’s decades-long career in the music industry started in his early twenties as the Road Manager for Peter Frampton during the Frampton Comes Alive! Tour.

Over his career, he has worked with countless artists, including Bad Company, REO Speedwagon, Steppenwolf, Foghat, Joan Jett and the Blackharts, Weird Al Yankovic, Foreigner’s Lou Gramm, ASIA, Tommy James & The Shondells, Chuck Negron from Three Dog Night, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, and many more. He served on the International Entertainment Buyers Association Board of Directors and was well loved in the industry. Owner of Paradise Artists, Howie Silverman, says: “Charlie Davis was one-of-a-kind. He was universally loved by everyone in the industry and was a dear, dear friend and family member for all of us at Paradise. It is an understatement to say that he will be dearly missed.”
