Charley Pride - Kiss An Angel Good Morning.wmv

Born to poor sharecroppers, one of eleven children in Sledge, Mississippi, Pride is a timeless everyman, revered by his musical peers and adored by countless millions of fans around the globe.

Charley Pride unofficially started his music career in the late 1950s as a ballplayer with the Negro American Leagues Memphis Red Sox singing and playing guitar on the team bus between ballparks. Self-taught on a guitar bought at the age 14 from Sears Roebuck, Pride would join various bands onstage as he and the team roved the country.

After a tryout with the New York Mets, Pride decided to return to his Montana home via Nashville. It was there he met Jack Johnson, who upon hearing the singer perform, sent him on his way with the promise of a management contract and a newly forged relationship that would last for over a decade.

A year later, Pride returned to the Music City and was introduced to producer, Jack Clement, who gave him several songs to learn. When Clement heard Prides renditions, he immediately asked the fledgling singer if he could cut two songs in two hours. Pride agreed, and The Snakes Crawl at Night and Atlantic Coastal Line were recorded.

I grew up listening to this. I'm still but a child now, but it seems like such a long time ago when I used to beg my daddy "Please play some more Charley Pride!" I've strayed so far from the music I was raised on. Now I play this for my neice, who's 3, and she says to me "Please auntie, play more Charley Pride!" Kaw Liga was the first thing she learned to say. Charley Pride is her idol. I hope to keep it that way. Long live REAL country music. And may Charley live on in our hearts forever!
