Charley Pride is my cousin and he's the first Black American who got very famous singing country but country began with Colored folk hun. Before country it was called folk music but eventually black people crossed over to pop/rock n roll and so folk music which is now country crossed over to honky tonk music which is your music today.
Me as a white man When I was little I loved him Iloveed listen to this song & the Indian song ,bless him I hate that he had to pass away from that crap
WE love you *Charley Pride* , and will miss you so much. My aunt introduced me to your music and entrancing voice on cassettes back in the early 1980s. You never let others' thoughts about skin tones effect your inner strength and progress in life. You reached up for the stars and grabbed some. As a middle aged white man I wanna say, my hat is off to you, and I admire you for always.
If he were white, the crowd would have blown up and went ape shit like the 100+ videos I've seen of this era. That shit annoys me. Music knows no color. This crowd is trash.
I was just a youngin and loved Charlie Pride ,however the first time I saw him on Hee Haw I ran and told my old man that a black man was singing Charlie Pride songs... The ole man just laughed and told me he was a black man. I was dumbfounded,,, changed my whole view on race and ethnicity. From there I fell deep into Motown and music from the 60's. I'd love to have thanked the man for that.
Steve Cropper said the same about Otis Redding. Steve's dad was a racist and a bigot but as soon as Otis walked into his house, he changed completely. That's the way to beat racism\.
That's hilarious because on my cousin's side his great-grandfather thought the same thing the first time you saw Charlie Pride he had no clue that he was a black man
As a black man who grew up listening to Cal Smith, Dolley Parton and Waylon, Willie and The Boys; I’d never heard or seen a black man sing in this genre. Pleasantly, l was surprised to see that a black man sung this classic. I was happy that he was accepted by all country music fans. My hometown is only 50 minutes from his (Sledge, MS) in the Mississippi Delta. So l was doubly proud and happy. He’s truly revered at home and l will miss him. Thank you Charley for opening up so many doors for others to follow. You was truly a trailblazer and a LEGEND! You will be missed ..... RIP🕊
Check out Stoney Edwards, I only found him through youtube, but I knew his song "She's my Rock" from a George Jones cover. His career never took off but good music
@@timothygeiger437 I thank you for your response. I meant to a generation, like mine. Approximately, ten years ago- I heard an interview with him, that I thought was archived ( by decades ). It was rather recent.
I have listened to Charlie Pride all my life, Every time we went anywhere in the car my Dad would put Charlie's album into the 8 track player lol Y'all remember those things? Love Charlie Pride!
A voice you never get tired of. And also Jesus on my knees again. This guy was a true country singer. And it's funny because most people thought Charlie Pride was white. Man boy were they shocked LOL rest in peace my brother love you. Song about Jesus and now he's with Jesus the father. And now he's singing for Jesus in heaven. Hallelujah praise the Lord God😇♥️
Rip! My mother will make us all sit down and listen to him when he came on TV. As I’m sitting here listening to his music Abi member. God bless him. My mother loved him
I remember when this song was being played on the radio. I was just a kid at the time. I'm not a big country music fan, but this is one of my guilty pleasures. Rest in peace Mr. Pride you will be missed.
Charley Pride is and has always been my favorite country music singer of all time. God blessed him with one 1 of the greatest voices ever in country music. I would like to thank Charley Pride for being blessed with a voice that I really like.
RIP, Charlie. Kiss an Angel Good Morning when you get to Heaven. And thanks for changing hearts by being a proud Black man who loved country music, and did it well! Although we never met, I love you, man. Mitch in Mpls.❤️
Not another childhood fave! :/ RIP Charley. First my fave drummer Neil Pert then fave Guitarist Eddie Van Halen now the VOICE is gone. 😭 I saw him several times at the Houston Rodeo when I was kid. One of My moms favorite singers. Tell my mom hello Charley 😥

Had the pleasure of seeing him, along with Gary Stewert, at Wakefield in the UK. A great showman and talented entertainer. His colour had nothing to do with the fact he made it in Country, it was pure talent. RIP Charlie, you'll be missed.
George Jones, Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash and now Charlie Pride. 4 of the greatest country singers of all time, gone but never forgotten and their music will live on forever, true legends never die! They’re now all singing together in heaven! Rest in Paradise. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🥀💔

He wasn't underappreciated, I listened to his music often when I was a kid. I'm in my 50's now.

Still got my 8 track
My dad played it on his 4 track:)
I was the Charlie Pride fan. My Dad’s favorite 8 track was Johnny Cash and the song Ira Hayes stopped, flipped and restarted in the middle of it. Lol.
@@lefty2149 Johnny Cash & Roy Orbison were my dad's favourites but there was always time for Charley Pride songs on 8 Track. #RIP
WOW!!!!! 8-Tracks! That really takes me back. Boy l must be old!!!!!
