    None better at that straight ahead late 60s country style.

    One can only imagine the barriers he had to overcome but the music is the story.

    Charlie Pride was my grandmother's favorite musician. I can't tell you how many times we listened to his songs together when I was a child. Such a loss.

    Heard him a lot at Friday night perch fries in Green Bay and northern Wisconsin while growing up in the 1960s.

    RIP Mr Pride. A pioneer you were!

    Years ago in another life at night I would sit under a palapa at a local the only) bar in Monkey River Belize with a few of the locals. We had a radio connected to a car battery with a huge antenna in the top of a coconut palm and listen to a radio station out of Nashville. Charlie Pride would come on and the whole bunch would cheer and toast Charlie. This would be followed by a round of Belican (sp) beer ( supplied by me as the beer was more expensive than the local rum) and a toast to Charlie.

    RIP

    He knew Country Music was three chords and the truth. What you saw, he was, on stage, off-stage, wherever.

    Sadder is that CMAs held an event a month ago that not only gave him a lifetime achievement award, but most likely the virus too. Be careful folks. This ain't over till the fat lady in a mask sings.
