One of my moms favorite country singers. We even had a chance to meet him and his wife @ Six Flags in TX back in the early 70's.
Great guy and very genuine.
Prayers for the family

One of my favorites for listening...and it's clear to me that Covid 19 is not something to take lightly.

I’ve slept under a table in a roadside park, ....
I just love this man.
Joyce Taylor, the most “white-bread” lady ever, always played on her turntable some Charlie Pride, Freddy Fender, or Johnny Rodriguez.
Thank God I grew up in Austin.
Thank you Charlie Pride.

My wife was and still remains, a big fan.
As much as I'm no fan of Country music in general, I don't mind his music or Johnny Cash's either.

I thought for sure he wouldn't survive the brain cancer a few years back. I will miss his rare talent.

Quite a trailblazer on the country music scene, I can imagine in the beginning he faced a lot of adversity. I never heard him complain about anything of the sort, real class.

Incredible voice and class act all around. He appears many times in Ken Burns' Country Music - highly recommended...

Quite a trailblazer on the country music scene, I can imagine in the beginning he faced a lot of adversity. I never heard him complain about anything of the sort, real class. Back in the day when he started....I can't even imagine the unspeakable sadness, and the heart-breaking prejudices he had to endure from both the White and Black communities. I wonder if those miserable days ever truly ended. "Trailblazing"...is never easy, and it can be a lonely endeavor. I can only pray the he finally finds the peace that this bitter Life denied him. |

Ill never forget my Cajun Fathers face when I told him Charlie Pride was black, he had only heard him on the radio, his look was of complete disbelief . Gave me a good laugh. I loved his music, seemed like a hell of a person. RIP!

When I saw him at the Conroe Ballroom in 1970,the 100% white crowd was loving him. Some of the women were throwing their panties on the stage. A pretty low class crowd. |
