Another one of the truly great ones gone. Charley Pride has died from complications of COVID-19. “I’d like to be remembered as a good person who tried to be a good entertainer and made people happy, was a good American who paid his taxes and made a good living,” he said in 1985. “I tried to do my best and contribute my part.”
I remember listening to a country music program on the radio that played his music calling him "Country" Charlie Pride when I was in the service. He goes back quite a ways.
Charlie Pride has always been one of my favorite country-western singers, and I can’t think of any of his songs that i didn’t really like. I think that this one is probably my favorite, but it is hard to choose one of another of them.
