A fine story for a great man. What an unlikely journey he had. Reminds me a bit of Bill Withers indirect path. Thanks for announcing this.

Truly a groundbreaker. Hope his family remembers what a long, successful life he had, and takes comfort in a life well-lived.

RIP, sir.

This sure makes me sad, Charley Pride, genuine all around nice humble guy. My parents told me a story about seeing him perform before he made it to the big time in a bar in Great Falls, Montana. Good story. RIP Charley, one of the best.
