DISTANT DRUMS by CHARLEY PRIDE

[squirell1952]

Just because Mr. Pride is not white does not give other negroes the right to condemn him and accuse him of being a "whitey". Such ignorance. Tom Jones is a white guy from the State of WALES who sings like a black man. But nobody in Mr. Jones' native State calls him names. Both men were born to sing the way God wished to to sing. People, usually men, who condemn the two afore-mentioned men are probably JEALOUS of them.

[4957ace]

@TheThomasmoon this entire album takes me back to 1967 when I was a troop in fort sam houston san antiono..texas.....

He was a great singer.......thanks you ferlin husky for giving him his break.....

[lpritch370]

@4957ace I thought it was Johnny Cash that introduced us all to Charley Pride.......

[emmaandrossy]

i always loved Jim Reeves, but I have to say that this version is really really good.

[stanibol]

Charley Pride, a long time fav of mine. And I think Jim Reeves would have approved of Charley's version of his song.

[dagenhamdaveNo1]

A Jim Reeves classic performed in a classic style by Charlie Pride. Thanks for uploading.

[uubertuu]

this is is good but not quit as good as the master

[louisesk999]

I grew up in Ireland in the 60's and 70's were country music was a religion. and despite his colour Charlie Pride was one of the best, a true legend

[kingkhola]

[vishan26]

Simply Charley...........Mr Reeves and Mr Pride........two wonderful singer.......grew up listening to these guys.

[jwdundon]

WHY do black guys WAIST their tellent on rap.. when they have voices like charly Pride! DAMM SHAME!

[briartlaw]

Because they can,t sing as good as Charley full stop..

[kaacey301089]

Love this song...Love Charlie Pride grew up with it in early 1970s.... am now 48 years.... still love it!!!!!!

[b46kim]

Yes, love JR's version and Charley's version equally. It touches close to home for me. Her name wasn't Mary, but she wouldn't and I almost didn't make it back.....and she still wouldn't. That was a long time ago. I won't often listen to this song.

[pigpenthecat]

Love Charley Pride and Jim Reeves versions of this song....just love this song.

[zaaritha]

Almost as good as Jim Reeves version!

[hdiylove7]

Beautiful! Just stopping in to share National Sunday Law by A. Jan Marcussen=)

[almac2222]

My wish is for Charley to duet with Martina McBride, Just how good would that be!!!

[franklindavid]

[fatslabaa]

Oh Charlie Oh Charlie what a voice.. thanx for enriching our lives with your music & Alan thanx for sharing. (how about Charlie's Christmas In My Hometown..could u share that song if u have it)

[perransands]

THANK YOU FOF SHARING.

[clemsonmaniac]

Charlie Pride is definitely one of the best and most popular country artists of all time. At one time in my younger years, I had EVERY album that he released and knew 99 % of all the lyrics to his songs. I remember sitting in the living room and listening for hours on end to him and Lynn Anderson and Floyd Cramer among others. This is a wonderflu trip dowm " Memory Lane " for me.

[proofcakes]

love it X X X

[Clint8179]

I remember wearing out the 8-Track with this song on it. Believe it was about 1969-1970 when we bought this tape. Although I do have to say that this version of the song is not from that album, this is a remake. I listened to that tape so much that every song on there is engrained into my brain. You can tell that Charley's vocals ,on this version, are not the same as when he cut this album.

[babybluejean]

What a mellow voice. HAve loved him since I first heard him. He is the greatest.

[irene2351]

voice is out of this world i could listen all night,i'm in my mint with all this old music not like todays music realy glad i got a computer an found this site thankyou for the music.

[boeingcorp]
