My wife and I saw him in concert a few years ago. At 80+ y/o he could still perform incredibly. RIP Charlie...

He was black, and everyone knows that country music and country music fans are all racist, so there is no way he had an award winning 50+ year country music career. Country music Entertainer of the Year award...the most prestigious award in country music? No way he won that. Clearly it’s all fake news.

From Sledge, Mississippi.

"We'd sit across the street on the depot porch
Lookin' at the folks lookin' back at us"

The Delta is a place known for the blues but Charley Pride hitched his wagon to a different star.

And there's no way he would ever be invited to appear on something like the Lawrence Welk show back in the 60's either:
