[@mikelawrence5739]

This man is a true voice of pure country music, always will be

[@jeangriffin6247]

Charlie Pride is one of the greatest singings of all times

[@robbywilson6729]

Charley Pride is the embodiment of never being afraid to be what you are. It’s great being country and pride celebrates this throughout his discography.

[@Sassy8utube]

just another reason I respect you Mr. Pride...

[@j.r.fowlergodcountry]

Charley, I love you, and I will be coming out with the song that I wrote to honor you, "Charley Pride is Country Music."

[@djbside1965]

Rest In Power to Charley Pride (1938-2020), and thanks for the many, many memories. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten, Sir.

[@RickyAllen]

I love Charlie Pride country music wouldn't be the same without him.. Country music isn't about color and Charlie knew that and everyone should respect a man like that.

[@nightowl5475]

Those reporters really were nervous interviewing this man. I dunno why? They always put that label on him, about being black and singing country music. Charley Pride is an American institution, plain and simple. The man’s got pure talent and is a great singer. Period!

[@barbaraanderson2792]

It should never matter the color of his skin. He was a wonderful and great Country Singer.

[@marcellanorfleet4438]

THANK YOU, music has no color because it's universal!

[@garymcdonagh2978]

[@neoncatfish4038]

[@DenaWoodTheNDexpress]

If you are going to post your interviews about an artist at least learn how to spell their name. Country Charley Pride has been his name for over 84 years.

[@michaelterry4394]

[@seamusmceniff9630]

[@joejohnson7924]

Love this man so much. Wish we weren’t always being divided so we could appreciate stories like Mr. Pride’s and people would really understand that anyone can make it in this country if you have your head on straight and work towards your goals

[@stevegold7307]

Why cant someone just be a great singer or entertainer, period!!....

[@marcellanorfleet4438]

"That's a good question"

[@paulabair3888]

[@thejdogcool]

These are the most incoherent interviewers I've ever seen. That one guy on the far right can barely put together a sentence.

[@superfly19751]

Hey Charley, we know you got tired of being asked the same question about racism so here it is one more time. CNBS....

[@red_ford23]

Charley Pride

[@paulcooper5748]

R.I.P charlie pride.

[@williamlinington9166]

Sadly, he has not recieved Kennedy Center Honors. That is disgusting.

[@jeanparker9273]

I agree

[@gingerlord4983]

He ain't Liberal.

[@thulanihamilton965]

This had a potential to be a great interview, but you've missed it.

[@RENETTE2525]

How dare they treated him in that manner!!! They should be ashamed of themselves!!!!

[@marcellanorfleet4438]

Dummies have no shame because they have no sense!

[@Collinhut]

Awkward interview
