His central vision as an entertainer is to leave theaudience with a sense of optimism and possibility about the future. "I tryto cover a broad emotional landscape in my concerts. The stories that I write,collect, and perform take the listener on a journey of humor, heartache andhope. What I most value in a song is the way it helps us see an old reality ina totally new light."
 
Musical influences in his life cited by Charlie are the folkrevival of the 1960's, the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War era. Folklegend Peggy Seeger says, "If we had more Charlie Kings in the world I'dbe less worried," and Tom Paxton adds, "Luckily, we have him."Pete Seeger called Charlie, "One of the finest singers and songwriters ofour time."
