Nice, A tip though. when you photograph a LP cover put it in the light but not in the sun, and switch off the flash on the camera. Makes a much better picture. I made the same mistake, until one day the flash was of and I did not notice. but when I look at the end product I saw that I had a better product. Keep up the good work. Thank You.
Back on 30 October 2010, after 35 years of waiting to see Charley Pride. I got to see him front row seat at Renfro Valley KY. I sang I'll Fly Away" for him and played the harmonica and clogged for him in my size lightup shoes. I went to sing the chorus part and he sang with me what an honor this was for me. I wish I would've video taped it but the memory will always be here in my mind and heart. In the profile photo here, Front row of Opry Square Dancers 23 Apr 05 Best Wishes LittleCountryDJ
My mom passed away on August 3 2011. This was her favorite song. She runs bible school and we just got done and she saw that next year this was a VBS song. She loved it so much! I love you mom!!!!!!!!!
when i was 3 my pastor brother Cecil would call me up to where he was and ask me to sing this. at first he'd sing with me but when i was 4 all he did was accompany me on the guitar and let me sing.we left Junction when i was 5 even after i left he would have the church ing it with him.he called it Ri's song. i did not know about that until i was 10. He died July 26th 2011.This will always be my top favorite song.i loved Brother Cecil very much and will always remember him when i hear or sing it.
For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.
I am a white feller born in Memphis TN, raised in Mississippi, and I have always like Pride's songs. Color don't matter, Spirit does. Lord bless his soul.
i might be 20yrs old, but i love charlie pride! been listenin to him since i was in the womb! lol. he even called my daddy to wish him luck and prayed for his cancer surgery. yay charlie!!! :)
He had the most wonderful voice. I don't know if he performs at all any more at all. I miss him. He was a pioneer, and Darius Rucker should thank him for opening that door.
drunkirishbastard1------Willie "discovering" Charlie wasn't all that big a deal. Purt near anybody with working ears could hear THAT talent. If Willie had something to do with getting him started on his career, that's another one we owe ya Willie.
@corrina253 You, in fact, did offer your "beliefs" by stating that you are an atheist because an atheist believes there is no deity. That would be a belief. I did not state that you, "need" to open your heart. I simply invited you. As for my proselytizing, that's what is asked of me to do in the Bible. For the Lord states in many books of the Bible that we should offer His word to others so they might have eternal life.
@corrina253 I don't know what so-called "Christians" you've been exposed to, but what you've described is not a Christian and is not Scripture-based. Those folks need to bear in mind that they may be the only Bible a person ever reads. I didn't post to have a debate with you, but rather offer my beliefs as you did yours. I wish you the best life has to offer. Many blessings.
@carlajean65 I was not trying to have a debate, and I did not offer my "beliefs" as you claim I did (dear, an atheist has no beliefs). I merely said that I love this song despite being an atheist, and you replied to my comment that I need to "open my heart and accept Christ". I was not proselytizing, but you certainly were.
@corrina253 All I can say to you is that I would surely rather get there and find out I was wrong for believing than to arrive and find out that I was wrong for not believing in my Creator who has been with me all of my life and who has walked with me, and even carried me when I was unable to handle life alone. I agree that each day we have with those we love should be cherished and we should make the very best of their presence, which is a gift.
@carlajean65 Ah, Pascal's wager. Boy, that argument never gets old, does it? I suppose I could pretend to believe in your god to avoid the possibility of hellfire when I die, but that would make me a hypocrite, wouldn't it? If you need faith in a god in order to get through life, that's fine, but I don't. I am quite content as a nonbeliever. I just think it is a shame that people don't put as much faith in their fellow human beings as they do in their gods.
@carlajean65 Ah, Pascal's wager. Boy, that argument never gets old, does it?

I just think it is a shame that people don't put as much faith in their fellow human beings as they do in their gods.
@carlajean65 And all I can say is that it is a shame that people don't put as much faith in their fellow human beings as they do in their gods. Christians want to go to heaven when they die, but we nonbelievers want to make our world a heavenly place to enjoy while we are still living. Unfortunately, that will probably never happen as long as religion continues to harden people's hearts and enslave their minds.
@corrina253 -----corrina, as a non believer, I think you lose sight of a LOT that various religions do NOW. Feeding the poor, offering literacy classes, helping the addicted, providing end of life hospice care, the list is endless. As I said, I'm not a believer, but I can't ignore the good religious people do for others. There is plenty of both good & bad among believers & non-believers. To try to marginalize an entire group of people does not speak well for you. Peace & love.
@ corrina 253 I sure hate to hear that you're an atheist. I suppose death would be a scray thing. I invite you to open your heart and walk in the light. As Christians, we look forward to the amazing afterlife God has promised us. So, although we might hate to leave our loved ones for a while, we are assured to see them again some glad, glorious day. No pain, no sorrow, Heaven is for sinners...sinners who have accepted Christ. That's why He was sacrificed. There is nothing without hope.
@carlajean65 The idea of going to a heaven and reuniting with our loved ones after we die is nice, but wanting something to be true does not make it true. If I have roaches in my house, wanting them to be gone isn't going to cause a can of insecticide to magically appear in my cupboard. I believe that making the most of the time we have on earth and cherishing our loved ones while they are still with us is much more worthwhile than looking forward to an afterlife that may or may not exist.
The world can have its demons (temporary) im ready to do some revearse skydiving. Even if its 20 years im ready. While im here i will pray for things. I remember alot of revearse skydivers when they sang this song.
I grew up listening to Charlie Pride. My little grandma and I used to sing with him every time he came on the radio! He is truly a great talent with a unique voice. A remnant from the days when country was real! I love almost everything he has ever recorded! Thanks, Charlie!
For anyone who desires a biblical understanding of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel.
I got to see Charley Pride while he was in Michigan. He always would stop in at a bar i went to "The Caravan ". He is so nice. He sang " Kiss An Angel Good Morning " for me. He is one good look man and a gentleman. I handed him a fake $1,000.00 bill for him to autograph for me. He took a double look at it since it was a little dark in the bar. The bar is gone now and i since moved to Tennessee. I will never forget that day ! Love to hear him sing the old time church hymns. He's the best !
Charlie Pride I can't wait to see you on the 30th of October 2010. I'm hoping to share this song with you. I love this song so much. Best Wishes LittleCountryDJ
Listening to Charlie Pride is one of those things that just soothes your soul, no matter how you feel. His style of singing seems so smooth and natural, like a storyteller. He's a top notch singer, not just for the country genera but for all music. Thanks to AlanPaladin for putting this video up!
I listened to Charlie Pride when I was in the Marines '70 to '73. He was the best at his peak. Love country and rock and Charlie Pride is at the top of the list. I agree. so smooth and natural.
What a great voice. As a young man we used to listen to songs like this on the old car AM radio. Everybody I knew in Montana loved Charley Pride. I don't even recall his race being an issue.
I absolutely Charley Pride's version of this song! He is truly an amazing singer who knows how to capture others by singing such a beautiful song. Thanks Charley!
Our family has a story. Their was a dinner party once and it lasted and lated and finally Mom started singing "Ill fly away!" and people finally got the drift! What a memory and what a song!
America is FINE!! It's a big mix of all sorts from white to black heithen to Christin. Stop being so fear based! As long as we can love one another we'll continue to be fine. It's natural for people to bitch but stop and look We're Fine. Spread the love.
@legalbeagle26 nothing worng with that. people worry too much about what's proper or allowed in their particular church rather than paying attention to the essential messege of christ. that's why chritianity of all types is hurting right now.
We played this song at my Mama's memorial. We were on our boat in front of her favorite lighthouse, Cape Lookout, and we scattered her ashes to this song. It was Alison Krauss but she always loved Charlie Pride also. Kiss an Angel Good Morning was another one of her favorites.
we sang this song at my grandmas funeral yesterday, it was her favorite song, and im so glad both my grandparents taught me to appreciate these old songs that are timeless
interesting tidbit. When Charlie was a relative unknown, he performed at a show sponsored by Willie Nelson. Obviously in that era, a black man on a country music stage wasn;t entirely welcome. When Willie introduced Charlie to a silent crowd, he leaned over and gave Charlie a big wet one right on the lips, thus breaking the ice. Everyone had a good laugh and a good time. Charlies star was essentially born at that moment
@drunkirishbastard1 wasn't it also the case that charley had had immense popularity on the radio but people listening had no idea he was black until they saw him live?
You're not funny. I'll only waste 30 seconds responding. Please find something else to do. You're life is somewhat of a waste but it doesn't have to be. You just chose it that way.
@drunkirishbastard1 I never heard that; I knew he had a hard time with the color barrier in his early years. He sure did a good job breaking through that. He was sort of a lone wolf, not many Blacks I ever knew liked country music, much less to perform it. About Willie, that's 1 of the things I liked about him & Johnny Cash. They could be country boys & represent a lot of the good things about rural culture without being rednecks. They both looked for the good in other people.
@drunkirishbastard1 The great prophet Willie Nelson is one of the most enlightened individuals on this plant, and thanks to him we didn't miss out on the great Charlie Pride.
My mother loved charlie pride My parents in a small town in NJ drove about 30 minutes away to see him perform at Waterloo Village. He sounded better live that is hard everyone needs back up sounds in the studio. If anyone gets a chance or on vacation oh the history! I loved going there sitting in the old church watching how everything was done then beautiful. i looked in amazement at the soldiers uniforms. My favorite song growing up was kaw-liga. Beautiful song one of many God Bless !

interesting tidbit. When Charlie was a relative unknown, he performed at a show sponsored by Willie Nelson. Obviously in that era, a black man on a country music stage wasn;t entirely welcome. When Willie introduced Charlie to a silent crowd, he leaned over and gave Charlie a big wet one right on the lips, thus breaking the ice. Everyone had a good laugh and a good time. Charlies star was essentially born at that moment

@drunkirishbastard1 wasn't it also the case that charley had had immense popularity on the radio but people listening had no idea he was black until they saw him live?

You're not funny. I'll only waste 30 seconds responding. Please find something else to do. You're life is somewhat of a waste but it doesn't have to be. You just chose it that way.

@drunkirishbastard1 I never heard that; I knew he had a hard time with the color barrier in his early years. He sure did a good job breaking through that. He was sort of a lone wolf, not many Blacks I ever knew liked country music, much less to perform it. About Willie, that's 1 of the things I liked about him & Johnny Cash. They could be country boys & represent a lot of the good things about rural culture without being rednecks. They both looked for the good in other people.

@drunkirishbastard1 The great prophet Willie Nelson is one of the most enlightened individuals on this plant, and thanks to him we didn't miss out on the great Charlie Pride.

My mother loved charlie pride My parents in a small town in NJ drove about 30 minutes away to see him perform at Waterloo Village. He sounded better live that is hard everyone needs back up sounds in the studio. If anyone gets a chance or on vacation oh the history! I loved going there sitting in the old church watching how everything was done then beautiful. i looked in amazement at the soldiers uniforms. My favorite song growing up was kaw-liga. Beautiful song one of many God Bless !
