Don Charles (10 December 1933 – 4 December 2005) was a popular English ballad singer, and record producer, and later in his life, a writer of a self-help book. Meek regarded Charles highly. "You are my only legit artist", Meek once informed Charles. "All the others are yugga-dugs".

At that time he also jointly bought a nightclub in Malta with Rolf Harris. Label /Catalogue reference
