Merle Haggard & Charley Pride - The 34 Annual CMA Awards

Rip Charley

[@snoopytrekschannel]

.. this is back when the CMAs were still worth watching, still broadcast from the Grand O Opry House, the real legends of real country music!

[@williamlidster5850]

No one deserves it more than Charley Pride! One of the most significant voices of the 20th century!

[@sonnymathis5336]

Never in the history of Country Music has there been a more deserving performer then the GREAT Charlie Pride.

[@MSgtPierce]

I cried the night Charlie died. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet him on several occasions when I as a bouncer at the Caravan East (Country Bar) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mr. Pride would come in every year during the New Mexico State Fair and play a set with the house band. A real honest person and a great human being.

I never figured the world to be such a fan of Charlie Pride that they'd dedicate an entire month to him, but that works for me. He was an amazing singer, musician, and baseball player. In commemoration of Pride month, I'll play Charlie's hits at least once a week.
