‘I never had to go past my front door for a role model’: Charley Pride’s son talks about dad

[@theunknown4570]

I shared about a ten-minute conversation with him alone while he was in the hospital and we were taking care of him. My mother had passed away when I was 10. And she loves Charlie Pride and play played his records all the time. Bye told him that and he said that his mother had passed too. And then he said I'm sure both our mothers are looking down at us now and smiling . I will never forget that

Charlie certainly earned his place among the greatest country music artist to have ever lived! I have listened to his music all my life and still do to this day!

[@elsieechuck7422]

My dad had a huge record collection. He would often take time to put music on and sit there and listen. I find myself going through the albums and being amazed at some of my findings. One day I pulled out ‘Charley Pride,’ so I put it on to listen. I was blown away and immediately fell in love with his voice and his songs. I thank God for him❤️

Awesome Singer Charley's music will continue to live on. We all have a day and Charley had to go this way- Covid. . Glad to hear his Son say- He had no regrets when his father passed. I felt the same way when my mother passed first...then my father passed 8 years later. They were Good, parent- Great role models. Miss them dearly. How sad we all have to loss our dear loved ones. My Deepest condolences goes out to Charley's Family.

[@susanmicheledavis4192]

What an amazing tribute to a great man!! When his son talked about not having regrets because they lived a full life together I cried. What could be greater than that at the end of our lives? I remember my great-grandmother and I watching Charlie Pride perform on tv back in the early 70s and his voice was so smooth.

[@nigelrolle9601]

Charlie Pridewas my favourite singers. I listened to his songs everydayand they really bring joy into my life. When Mr. Pride passed away in 2020, I was lost for words and realized that the world had lost a great man. Even though I lived in the Bahamas, I would make it my business to find his C.D's. A few of my favourite is I am so afraid of loosing you again, and Is anybody going to San Antone, just name a few. Rest in peace My singer, we'll miss you always.

[@motusakerto7806]

He was one of those Great inspirational icons I have ever know..His awesome voice left a mark in millions of hearts across the universe ❤ 💙 💜. Will be forever remembered.

Hi, this video was produced by the local Nashville tv station. Nashville loves their stars. Charlie Pride was a blessing on this earth and I enjoyed this story so much. We listened to him when I was very small I've always loved his music. Sorry if this was nosy, but I live near Nashville and the station is one of my local ones.

[@dianehayse5499]

I loved his music!!!!!

[@robynwatkins4190]

I loved Charlie's music. You are a wonderful son who knows the value of a very decent man. I know because I feel the same about my dad who passed away in 2010. In fact my mum was also a wonderful person so I was doubly blessed. I know you will always miss your parent but will have such beautiful memories as I do and so do my children. Good luck to you and your mum and family from Australia. Keep his legacy alive for us all. Xx

[@karenbankston8974]

Your dad was the best, and I know he is so proud of his family.

I know I should have commented on his death a while ago but I was really devastated when he passed the man has been a big part of my life since I was 10 years old and his music came with me when I left Ireland in 1980 and moved to England I eventually got to see him live in castlebar in mayo comfort of her wings will stay like the man the legend for ever 😥😇😇🤗🤗

[@arrinagreek6369]

I was in my 1977 Chevy Nova in the year 2000 at a car wash in Dallas, Texas where I lived. I was in my car in line at the car wash when I noticed Charlie Pride inside at the glass window starring at my car. He stood up staring at my Nova. I was so taken with his attention to my car that once I came up the line and turned my car over to the car wash people, I came inside to see if I could talk to Charlie. My thought was he might have owned a similar car or perhaps thought I was driving a car he once owned. I was so bummed that he had already left. But I will always have that sweet, sweet memory.

[@kevinmiller6380]

While it's a shame that an injury ended Charley's baseball career, at least his fans got to witness what a great country music singer he was.

He looks just like Charley, it's not the kids fault the affair happened but after decades of thinking about Charley as a faithful husband and upstanding guy the news that he had an affair lowered my opinion. The kid sings good

P. J. D. It is amazing, there’s always, at least, one, insecure, criticizing, gossip loving lowlife that has to either, make up “ gossip “,& or dig up gossip . Makes us wonder what the gossiper is hiding. Hmmmm GOD BLESS CHARLEY PRIDE’S LOVING FAMILY. Hopefully Mr. Pride is allowed to REST IN PEACE , HE CERTAINLY DESERVES IT.🙏🏼✝️♥️ His family don’t need to hear unkind things about him.
