Wonderful to see Charley Pride perform at the White House. Wish he had sung his new song
for the Obama's "America The Great" - see it on youtube - a must see. It is on Charley Prides newest album "CHOICES". Charley is in his 70's and he can still sing.
I'm all for celebrating the history of our nation's music, but in the case of celebrating country music, I wish they had gotten artists that represented a more than just the Nashville brand of country (no offense to Mr. Pride, that man's a legend), or maybe gotten more than just 3 artists and made a day out of the celebration. There's too much history in country to sum it up with just 3 artists anyhow.
@SmittyC41: I agree with you! I was shocked there were only 3 performers....But they did say that the country music showcase was only the second "Celebration of Music" showcase they had....Hopefully when they do it again, they'll have more performers! I would've LOVED for Alan Jackson and Dolly Parton to have been there!!!
Excellent performance by one of the greatest country artists of all time. I had the honor of shaking his hand once and directing him to a hotle in Atlanta. What a nice man.
still sounds great

Strange watching Obama pose while Charley Pride performs. Charley has endorsed candidates of the Republican party.
