He was one of the super nice guys, as well as a real country music artist.

Rest in Peace, Charley

Charley Pride (Friday 18 March 1938 - Saturday 12 December 2020)

‘A true trailblazer in country music, the first to break racial barriers and a legendary singer.

So thankful that we were good friends!

And to think my brother used to work on his car!

Charley Pride will surely be missed by everyone who loves true country music!

RIP, Charley’
