My family knew Charlie Pride before he was famous. Just before. He tried to teach my mom how to ride a motorcycle. And she was too small for his big motorbike. I was four or so and remember him quite well.
Darius Rucker, Cowboy Troy & Neal McCoy ought to send a percentage of every paycheck to Charlie Pride. He kicked down the door with talent so pure and undeniable that even the worst racist bigots in Country music had to acknowledge him and play his music! Without Charlie, Country would still be lily-white IMHO.
Just him in concert in Wisconsin on the 18th-I thought I'd be the youngest there (22) but there were some younger kids there with grandparents. My point is, young and old, who doesnt love Charlie Pride? Lol, and he sounds amazing, and was still hopping about the stage, it was awesome <3. Probably the best concert I've been to lol!
im 14 and when i was 4 my grandparents took me to see him in branson mo. at the grand palace and payed a pretty penny for backstage passes i met him and shook his hand even gave me a hug i still have the pictures.
@thesnake52000 You don't know what his racial/etchnic makeup is. You white motherfuckers couldn't keep your asses out of bed with black women and neither could the native americans. So most blacks are to some degree of mixed ancestry of some kind. So shut the fuck up. You don't know a damn thing and it doesn't matter. The man did a great job on this song is all that matters, not his racial makeup.
@speakwhnspkn2 You've very correct I don't know what his racial/ethnic makeup is. I certainly agree it doesn't matter. I only meant that it is unreasonable to assume any native ancestry merely on the basis of him singing this song.
Yes, I've always loved Charley. And the dude is still pretty hot looking, too!

He does pretty good since he had surgery on his neck. His talent is natural not faked with equipment.

I loved Hank Williams, but i have to say Charley Pride did better on this song. But, both people did a great job on it.

I seriously doubt he has any native ancestry. It was originally a Hank Williams song anyway.
