A lot of us of a certain age played a lot of his music over the years. He will be missed. _________________ It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. |

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.

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 !! |

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. |

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. _________________ "Gopher, Everett?" |
