Charlotte with the Eyes
Charlotte was very shy in school and did not like being in the spotlight. When asked to be lead guitar in the GoGos, she had no lead guitar experience. She had only played a folk style of strumming before. For the new job she would have to kick it up a notch.

Good for people to know.
The interesting thing about all this to me is that Belinda and Charlotte Continued to work together post Go-Gos,as might be expected,but in many of Belinda's Solo Efforts you will find not only Charlotte writing songs and playing but also her Husband and 2 of her Brothers(Tom and Richard Caffey).
In the often under rated Album 'Real',as well as writing and playing on most of the songs,on one of them all 4 (Belinda, Charlotte,Tom and Richard) shared the credits in one of the songs on that album.
Just thought you might like to know.
