Most of my childhood and youth was in the hills of western South Carolina. When I graduated high school in 1970, Charlie Pride was already famous in the country charts and a well respected star. But more than that, everything I heard about him was about what a genuine guy he was. His stage persona was really truly him, no fakery. A couple of other real country stars: Don Williams was a singer songwriter who came to fame in the 1970s. Charlie Pride was one of many who covered some of his songs, and Don's humble but observant songs fit with Charlie very well. Don racked up a string of awards and hits that lasted well. He dropped 46 singles and 42 of those made the top 10 in country, and 17 hit #1. He kept retiring but there was such demand he would come back in his same old naturally frayed rancher jeans and hat and sing his latest batch of songs. His last tour was in 2014. Don was my mother's favorite singer ever. "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend" was a well known tune he took to #1, though actually written by others. Sara Evans, from Missouri, began singing in clubs at an early age. She is probably the most genuine old-school (mostly) country singer of the 2000s, IMHO. She is the first person I heard use the phrase, "Three Chords and the Truth." For a sample, check out "No Place That Far" which she co-wrote.

Hey NM, im from Albuquerque born and raised. Nice to see some home fry in the comments!

I'm thrilled you're listening to Charley Pride, a great singer with a great voice and great music. When he was transitioning from minor league baseball to music, the time came for him to finally appear in person at a concert. In 1966, very few of the 10,000 country fans who came to his first large show at Detroit's Olympia Stadium knew Pride was Black. They only realized it when he came onstage; after the crowd went silent, Charley Pride said, "Friends, I realize it's a little unique, me coming out here - with a permanent suntan - to sing country and western to you. But that's the way it is.'" RIP Charley Pride, who rightfully became an icon in a white-dominated genre.

Charley Pride was a groundbreaker. Not only was he one the most popular black men in country, he was one of the biggest stars regardless of race. So many fantastic albums and huge hits.

​​@@medmar76 country is part of black heritage in the South though not many black singers. Especially, the way he sang. It's like someone talking and singing. A big part of country roots comes from Irish, Scottish and also African American musicians. African Americans contributed heavily. Banjo has those roots.

Charley Pride! He was a superstar, a country legend!!! One of the biggest country stars of all time!!! He was a really nice guy, humble & very intelligent, you need to watch a documentary on him, you'll be amazed. I still remember watching him in concert as a 4 or 5 year old kid when he stopped over in Fiji on his way to/from Australia back in the 1970s; planes were not able to fly all the way from the US to Aust back then and would stop in Fiji to refuel and also to give the passengers a break. I don't think that the audience came anywhere close to a thousand (maybe not even half that) but that didn't stop him from entertaining us. Thank you Charlie Pride. RIP.

We lost the great Charley Pride just last year. He battled everything in his career including racism within the country music community and a narrow-minded America until he won it over, again and again, from sea to shining sea everywhere he went. But ultimately, his talent and gentle demeanor converted those against him and earned a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry. He was a class act. And an example to be followed. R.I.P.

Charlie Pride was a great singer. He was a gift to country music.

When I was a teen working for my best friends dad building swimming pools, we built one for Charlie Pride in Weatherford, Texas. Got to meet him and talk to him. Very friendly man for being so famous plus at that time had just won his Country Music Award.

I gotta send this before I even listen n watch. I was a 7 YO raised in East TN by a person that actually grasped what MLK said 30 years before he said it. It was her DNA.... Our concert choice: the whole of my my family went to see mostly Charley Pride.. As he sings one of last 2 songs...I wish I could tell you it was this only reason I remember at all is because I watched Charley Pride (and George Jones 3 days earlier so I've been told) anyway next to last song finishes....everybody in family goes nuts....small little break music still playing etc... My momma the best teacher I ever saw and best mom voice of all time consensus of the family....says you do realize y'all went through all this trouble to pay for tickets, get rides, etc etc (I only remember 70%) to see a BLACK man singing your precious country music????? Swear to God they almost said in unison..."what does that mean?" Momma said "Exactly, y'all know we are all Gods children". It was quiet enough at that moment in like 1979ish there were 50 people listening to mom that grew up with an outhouse in Great Depression in Kentucky Coal Mines schooling fools on prejudice...everybody uses racism....definitions matter...I get it keep going have at it BUT what it is is prejudice especially in South and my momma like a preacher saved some people that day this no hyperbole....they were already ok people they didn't realize the prejudice they had...so when called out to obvious....Lil self reflection from best teacher we all knew.. Anyway apologies for Novel. Pride is my guy and I'll tell that story til I see mom again

When Charley first started recording, the producers sent his singles out to the radio stations without his picture. They built an interest in him before he went on tour, because of his color!!! His voice was so pure, most people didn't whether he was he was black or not!!! A true pioneer in country music!

I know he lived these lyrics, too, because my parents were only a month and a half away from there 58th wedding anniversary when he passed last year at 93. Every woman should be so fortunate to have a husband who considers her his angel (and "loving her like the devil" is pretty great, too! 😉). I adore you two and hope you always have the relationship that Charley Pride sings about in this song.

Charley Pride blazed the trail. Grew up hearing him. He was a Great Singer, who as Charley himself said " happened to have a permanent tan." The only artist to outsell him was Elvis.

Mr. Pride had such a wonderful, comforting voice. The gentleman that introduced him had some fun songs, too, his name is Marty Stuart.
