This is awfully sad news.
We played some shows alongside Charley through the years, and he was always a kind and gentle soul.
What a great and groundbreaking talent he was.
Rest in peace Charley.

Larry Dering · From: Missouri, USA

A definite milestone in country music and popularity. Another of the legends gone. My prayers to the family and friends. RIP Charlie Pride.

Gary Hoetker · From: California, USA

Very saddened to know this. The first two songs I heard him sing on record back almost 55 years ago are "The Snakes Crawl At Night" and "Crystal Chandeliers". I was hooked. He was truly a great one and a legend as well. RIP Country Charley Pride !!

Daniel Dickie · From: Queensland, Australia

Really sorry and shocked to read this.
One of the few legends left.
Saw him in Brisbane some years ago and he put on a great show. He was a real character.
RIP Charley

He was one of those special people who didn't let barriers bother him. He treated other people fabulously and he was treated the same by others. I never heard a bad word about him.

Another sad day... Condolences to his family.

I was in Vietnam I think in 1966 and heard him sing "The Snakes Crawl At Night' on the Opry and he got a standing ovation, he sure was an entertainer....then saw him back at home with Bill Anderson......

Norman Potts · From: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Another great great artist passed into history. Thank goodness we still have his songs. Condolences to a proud Pride family and Rest In Peace Charlie,

My favorite quote from Charley: "I'm not a black guy singing country music, I'm an American singing American music."

Ben Elder · From: La Crescenta, California, USA

Oh, no--I've been scheming, plotting and strategizing for almost two years about where, when and how to see him again, reconnoitering such far-flung venues (most recently canceled) as Washington, Arizona and Oklahoma.

At least I'll still have 1973 in OKC. And an autograph from the Nashville airport two years earlier.

If there's a Mt. Rushmore of country singers--of singers, period--Charley Pride is on it.
