Legend here in Texas way beyond his impact in Country Music. His love of the Rangers was second to none.

My dad had some of his albums back in the 60's & 70's....and he really wasn't a country music fan per se, but he sure liked listening to Charley every now and again.

Charley Pride was one of the greatest. RIP

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Charley Pride was a pioneer that broke the chains that kept black singers out of then racist Country Western music. Lorretta Lynn was told "not to hug Charley when she hosted the awards and his first to him. That was the tradition. She disobeyed their directive and not only hugged him, but kissed him
