    Most Loved man in Seventies and Eighties Country Music. No one ever said a negative word about Charly Pride.i would compare him to Karen Carpenter or Jimmy Buffet in terms of the unbelievable amount of love and positive vibes between this man and the public.

    Charlie did have things to deal with for sure. there were many stations that refused to play his music because he was black but the funny thing was alot of the music fans didn't know he was because you can't see color on the radio and they kept asking for him to be played. later on when Charlie won a major award and Loretta Lynn was the presenter, the TV people told her to announce his win and then step back away from him and let him come get the award, her response was , Ain't nobody gponna tell me where I have to stand and when Charlie came on stage she went up and presented the award to him and gave him a big hug on national TV lol Charlie was well respected among the musicians and loved by the fans

    Charley Pride was the first black member of the Grand Ole Opry since DeFord Bailey decades earlier; the first black artist to have a number one country record; and the first artist of any race to win the Country Music Association's male vocalist award two years in a row. I am a proud country music fan, and I LOVE Charley's music. Love his voice! And, I am a 71 yr old white woman. Charley's skin color did not mean a thing to me. It was his voice that got me. My husband inroduced me to country music back in 1969, and been a fan ever since. Listen to Darius Rucker. Another good country music singer, and yes, he is black also.

      Is he actually Choctaw or just has a bit from back somewhere in his ancestry? I know he has a great affinity form the Choctaw people featuring and highlighting them where he can. I also have family ties to his hometown and know it was even claimed for years in my family we had some Choctaw. DNA test provided otherwise. PS - if you like Marty Stuart the station RFD TV has his program every Saturday evening.

    I'm old enough, and country enough, to remember that we had listened to Charlie Pride often on the AM radio and were all astonished to find out he was black. It was a pretty well kept secret when he first started out. Not so much that it was hidden, so much as it wasn't "advertised". Anyway, it didn't change anyone's opinion of him, at least not anyone I knew in Tn. But to your point, I totally think the vast majority of the "racist" stuff is strictly to keep the people divided and therefore, made up, staged, or outright lied about by the press.

    Back in that day it was unusual for a country singer be black. One of my favorite stories about Charlie is that a Texas woman loved his music but wouldn't believe he was Black. Finally he did a concert close to her and her friend who had been trying to convince her of his ethnicity took her to his concert. When he came out and started singing you could hear her throughout the building yelling "It's True, It's True"!!

    As. A white man listening to Charlie pride growing up I would tell me friends about Charlie pride and they didn't want to believe a black man was singing country music. So I just kept it to myself. Even when someone would say why ain't there no black people in country. Almost like I was protecting someone from trying to make fun of him. That's how good he was to me .

    Charley Pride was awesome back in the 70’s and 80’s! We had his records and watched him every time he was on tv! He had a wonderful smooth voice and was always smiling and he was easy to look at-tall, dark and handsome! Loved him!❤
    He has a lot of hits! My favorite is “You’re So Good When Your Bad” and “Roll On Mississippi.” You’re So Good When Your Bad was featured on the tv show Designing Women in the episode Reservations For Eight. It was so perfect for that episode and Charley sounded so so good as usual! ❤❤❤

    Charlie Pride was another one of the old time greats. My dad had country on all the time. SO i grew up on Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, and Charlie Pride just to name a few. I was still into rap, rock and metal. I love all kinds of music. Love going back to all this music and watching you discover this.

    Charlie Pride was one of my Dad's favorite artist when I was a kid. He was always playing at our house along with Johnny Cash. Mr. Pride has many great songs. I would love to see more reactions to him along with other country stars. I'm really enjoying your country reactions ❤

    I remember listening to this on KIDN (out of Pueblo) in the 70's when i was a kid.
    And we knew he was black because we also watched all the "Country" TV shows in the 70's!

    My Mother worked at Brookhaven hospital in Farmers Branch/Dallas in the 1970’s. She met Charley Pride a few times over the years and said he was such a nice person. She was definitely a fan of his singing and him personally.

    The late Charlie Pride is a legend. I once saw an interview with him on TV - he grew up as one of a bunch of children of a share-cropper (and later bought the man's property). Some of his other hit songs were "Crystal Chandelier", "Does My Ring Hurt Your Finger" & "Is Anybody Goin' to San Anton".

    The man at the beginning is Marty Stuart. This video was taken from The Marty Stuart Show. A variety show from the early to mid 2000’s. I highly recommend watching a clip from the episode featuring Hank Williams III. In the clip they do a duet of Hank Williams Sr.’s A Picture From Life’s Other Side.

    When he was invited to the Opry, which was the pinnacle for a country artist, they didn't know he was black until he walked out on the stage. But you know, for the most part, skin color is not that big a deal in country and rock genres. Both country and rock have roots in the blues, which is mostly the province of black men. I'm sure it wasn't all smiles and rainbows, the times being what they were, but most of that resistance came from the system, not from the other musicians and not from the people. Musicians don't care about anything but whether or not you can play the music or sing the songs. And white people, for the most part, don't care as long as the music's good. I remember when Living Color came out with Cult of Personality, someone would be like, did you know they're black? And everyone else would be like, cool, they're black.

    Charlie came on the scene when this country was not divided by the crap that divides us today, he came in at the perfect time! My mother had all of his 8-track tapes and albums! Check the song "Kawliga" if you want to see his true range! His version is the best there is!
