There's also this black chick that is very much at the top of the game within country these days. I'm sorry that I don't listen to country so I do not know her name off top. You guys help me if you can. What's that old track from the '90s that Darius Rucker had with that band in Alt? There was one huge song that was before my time but I love it and don't remember the name

Darius is built different. Dude promised if the SC Women's basketball team won the National Championship he would give a free concert for everyone. They won...he did.

"Kiss an angel good morning" by Charlie Pride is country music gold. Song is a anthem to live by

Charley Pride (1971) Kiss An Angel Good Morning

Charley Pride was a great black country singer I remember from when I was a kid, I’m 53 now. Kiss an Angel Good Morning was one of his big hits.

Jimmie Allen is the 2nd African American to win CMA award for Best New Artist (2018), since DRucker in 2009. His trajectory has him on pace to outshine DR. That being said, CPride deserves his flowers for breaking the color barrier and his pioneering career. He paved the way almost 50 years ago. Respect

Hey y'all. Darius is from Charleston SC, started Hootie & the Blowfish when a student at THE University of South Carolina. We love and adore Darius here in SC for the outstanding person he is, and of course his huge talent a performer

Charley Pride was the best. For decades he was considered one of the very best country singers, period. You don't have classify it. Charley was at the top regardless of skin color. He has a huge library that dwarfs Rucker's library of song by leagues. Everybody did a cover of Hank Williams' Kawliga. My dad, a lifelong Hank Williams fan, singer/guitarist/song writer said none had did the song as well as Hank. After hearing Charley's version, dad said, "Charley didn't do it as good as Hank. He did it better." If you wanna hear true country perfection, check out some Charley Pride.

Everyone of yall was bobbing your heads, I absolutely LOVE this reaction!!!! Welcome to country music fellas!!!!! ❤

Darius has a great voice no matter what type music he's singing♡

Charlie Pride was probably the first real Country singer with his famous song Kiss an Angel in the Morning and love Her like a Devil when you get back home 😊

The song Seminole Wind by John Anderson, would be a great country song to react too. Its about the Seminole Indians down in Florida. It's so different sounding, and absolutely beautiful

I adore Darius. I’m also a huge Hootie fan. He’s amazing and always brings it. I experience all the feels when he sings. Love you guys are doing this one. It’s such a feel good song. Thanks for doing it! Merry Christmas, y’all. 🎄🎅🏼🎁

Charlie Pride and Arron Nevles both great country music singers.

Love Darius but Charlie Pride was the greatest black country singer of all time. Kiss an Angel Good Morning. Great Charlie Pride song. He died about 8 months ago of Covoid he was I do believe 77 or 78. He was an absolute legend! Willy and his wife from Duck Dynasty adopted a black child at birth. He's at least 18 now. Handsome young man.

I’ve loved Darius since Hootie and the Blowfish days and him transitioning into country was perfect. Being friends with the Robertsons… classic!! Not to mention this song goes hard here cuz I live In Johnson City TN and ppl round here get wild bein given a shout out like that!!! Love you guys ❤️

Shout out to the Okie from one born and raised in Choctaw!Charlie Pride is a legend and I hope you do a little research on him because his voice was pure velvet!

Charlie Pride is the greatest black country singer of all times. He's a country music legend.

Few times I’ve been out in the country and every time this song plays the whole room always starts dancing don’t matter what they were doing

I was a fan of Hootie and the blowfish as a kid and love Darius’ country sound. I couldn’t care less what your skin color is or what genre you sing, I just love good music 😊 Btw, Oklahoma isn’t considered south, it’s the HEARTLAND of America 💪

Darius Rucker is one of my favorite country singers. I was a fan when he was in Hootie and the Blowfish, and I am an even bigger fan of him now, and his solo career. This song reminds me of the good old days, when country was really good. These days, it's just mostly pop music.

Darius grew up in South Carolina listening to all kinds of music. He formed a band in the 90s with college buddies which became hugely successful and after they broke up he decided he wanted to tap into his country roots but wasn't sure how the country music community would accept him and if those that knew him as Hootie would like his style of country music. Well, as a fellow Gen X'er who also grew up listening to all kinds of music and can readily alternate listening to rock, pop, country, classical, R&B, Latin, and oldies, I was excited to hear Darius sing country songs for the first time. I love how country music tells stories that are relatable to the common man and as I get older I find myself turning to country music more than the other genres that I still love. I was just hoping that he would be successful and that he'd release songs that would fit into the 90s style of country music and not the latest "Bro Country" fad which has little lasting value. Well, not only did he release great music but his songs are a perfect blend of who he is and what he wants to say. His voice lends itself well to the genre and he surrounds himself with great musicians. My favorite of his songs are It Won't Be Like This For Long, Come Back Song, and If I Told You.

I know y’all heard of Charlie Pride. Ok, none of “the Midwest” is west, any way you slice it. You can call it “the Midwest” even though some of it borders Canada-whatever😅

Look up the black country music legend named Charley Pride 💕

This song is bluegrass and if you want to hear some bluegrass rock with Scottish roots, then Copperhead Road by Steve Earl. Great storytelling and musicianship!

Greatest Black country singer, Charlie Pride!!

This is a live performance "Darius Rucker - It Won't Be Like This For Long(Official Music Video)" this song is the title track from Rucker's debut country solo album "Learn To Live" the same record which produced his first 5 hit country music singles. "Don't Think I Don't Think About It", "It Won't Be Like This For Long" and "Alright", "History In The Making" and "I Got Nothing" If you are looking to start listen to an album by him, this would be the one I'd start with. (IMHO) I think the whole album is a great listen. Oh...and just so you know Darius Rucker wasn't the only black country music artist, there was Charlie Pride, and he became so big that his name was a common household name.
