Rolling Stone announces Charley Pride dead at 86!

Oh sad! He was very talented. I love his music. I like to listen to the oldie country music channel. Back when country music was great.

RIP Charlie. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

I watched his story on PBS when they did a documentary on oldie country music. It was very interesting. I highly recommend folks watch if they admire country music.

Tributes from the music world are coming in!

I don’t believe he died from covid!
The media is trying to sensationalize the covid nonsense.
He was 86!
86 is well over life expectancy for everyone!
And no disrespect.
My dad died at age 81 and my aunt at age 83 three months apart from each other from flu complications back in 2016 .
Then my uncle 85 a year later in 2017 of old age complications.

People die from just about anything at those age ranges.
Its just a fact of life.
People die from much less even earlier and it can usually be attributed to being at the end of your life.
Now everything is labeled covid by the corrupted conspirators and deep state for open communism.

must've picked up covid at the CMAs

just ripped the LPs that I grew up listening to.

so long great one.

African-Americans are at greater risk from COVID

There was allegedly a covid outbreak from the CMAs.

my Dad used to say 'well i hope Charlie Pride' will be on the radio today so the fish bite'

He was just singing on tv a few weeks ago on one of the awards shows.

The way things are going all other diseases are going to go away thanks to C-19, what a bunch of BS. RIP Charlie one of the great ones.

Black hillbillies matter.

Everyone loves Charlie Pride and that song. Sorry to hear the bad news.

That one does!

RIP...

Now for TPTB to use this as another COVID death...

FUCK THIS WORLD SYSTEM...AND THE TORAHLESS ELITE!!!

No fucking way

Sad day

Loved his music

Kiss an Angel Charlie

Loved his music

He likely died from pneumonia which is a complication from BEING OLD

Yes he was talented and funny too. He seemed so genuine and I believe he was.

I love the oldie country music channels too, especially when they give you tidbits on the singers.

COUNTRY Charlie Pride was his name. They were careful about bringing out the first black guy.

What a voice and he will be missed

“The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.” --Robert A. Heinlein

It's sad he died, but at 86 he had a nice long ride. I hate that he will now go down as just another COVID statistic.

that sucks.. the greatest black country singer of all times.

My Aunt loved him and I was subjected but I liked it. There's memories in those songs.

How could anyone not like Kiss an Angel Good Morning? That came on the radio at once a day in the early seventies.

I reckon if someone never loved a sweet country girl and didn't think she was an angel, then the song would be meaningless. It makes me smile just as much now as when I was 14.

If they ever invent a time machine, well that period from 1964-1980 was wonderful and the ladies were enchanting with a supernatural beauty.

Ain't like that now.

Leap at the chance to go back.

RIP CHARLEY!

His story is so interesting and worth looking into. He was very far ahead of his time. He never wanted to dwell on racial issues, I've seen interviews where he was so frustrated with the interviewer who only wanted to talk about racism and how oppressed he must feel, and wouldn't listen to him when he said he just wanted to talk about the music and other subjects.

He originally wanted to be a professional baseball player. He lived in Montana for several years when he was young. He had trouble breaking into the big leagues in baseball and ended up a country singer instead - most people would be very glad that is the way events turned out.

Charley Pride sold more records for his label than anyone else but Elvis.

I really think we could learn from his career and his attitude. He never took no for an answer, he just kept going til he got what he wanted. I think sometimes that TPTB don't like his story, because it's not a victim story, it's not a story of oppression, it pretty much proves that if you work hard and get good at something and put yourself forward and are brave and keep going and don't let setbacks defeat you, you can do great things.

Go look at his Facebook page, even on December 8, 2020, he was at home and signing books and albums for autographs. There is a short video of him speaking. He was well and healthy, not acting his age at all. Don't just someone by an age number. He is a shock and a loss that he is gone, because he still had so many songs and talent to share with the world.
