A luscious voice that couldn’t be denied

The only black guy I ever remember seeing on Hee Haw

The only song of his I know, and only because my elder sister (not Karen) had it when she was younger. Think it was in the charts. I was am-azed to find out the guy was black. He sure didn't sound it. Also, a black guy in country music was, so far as I knew, pretty rare, though of course I might be well wide of the mark there.

Are you sure the version you grew up on wasn’t the Charlie Rich version?

Trollheart · 12-12-2020, 07:45 PM

You know, it could be. I would have been at school at the time, so Charlie this or Charlie that, I probably wouldn't have cared. Let me listen to the two versions and see if they sound different to me.

Edit: Yeah, you got me. It was Rich not Pride. Oh well, still a great song and still RIP Charley Pride.

Wow, this is really my day for ****ing up and making a fool of myself isn't it?
In other words, just like every other day...

lol

Let’s just say it’s probably for the best you’re not giving a eulogy at his funeral

I’m glad you posted it though. He had a great voice. Even though he had a long life I still feel like covid deaths are a rip off because it really didn’t have to let it run rampant like we did. It’s definitely not going to be looked back on with pride but at least I know that I personally behaved correctly.

The main song I knew Charlie Pride from was his version of Lovesick Blues. He could yodel!

Here's him doing it on the Lawrence Welk Show.
