saw charley a few years ago in cambridge , he never sang this song , when we met him after the concert and he was signing various items , i said to him Charley you never sang my mums fav song ,just between you and me , and the great man stopped signing and sang to my mum,
Wow! He sure was wonderful! When I was a little girl I wanted to marry him. Haha. Memories. I loved his song Crystal Chandeliers. What a kind and humble man he was.
Charley Pride has 39 number one country songs. That shows that if you're good the country audience will approve regardless of race. Merle Haggard has only 38.
When Lloyd came out of retirement none of the current breed of producers would return his calls. He's simply one of the best musicians on the planet and they're blowing him off.
My daddy, God rest his soul, would be 96 years old now. I believe he bought every album Charley Pride ever made. Charley was his favorite country singer and he is certainly my favorite as well.
@@gregtreadway3142 Welk had Lynn Anderson on his show and she sung her top hit "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden". Having her on the show proved that his show was quality!
This is REAL country music. Not the crap they air on TV and radio nowadays. Where are all the REAL shows and radio stations that play REAL artists like this. I wouldn't give a plug nickel for all the supposed "stars" that peddle their crap today.
I was a radio disc jockey and radio program director for 40 years...top 40 early 70's...then country music during 80'-90's played it all ....I'm my opinion "Is Any Body Going To San Antone" by Charlie is the best country song of all time...just about 2 minutes in length but there are so many stories in that one song....just listen to it
You hit on something I' ve been thinking about a lot lately. The Greatest Generation. They use that term for a lot of things, but I don't think anyone has applied it to music as it should be. Born in 1946. same as Dolly, Linda and quite a few others. As kids, we listened to top 40 radio, and many oi the popular top 40 survey sites will back this up - we were exposed to such a variety of music that way. And during that time, there were a lot of great country artists that topped the charts. It was also blues, soul, movie themes, some holdover easy listening, and soon Tom Rush and Gordon Lightfoot. My point is that all these people resonate with me. And when I get in a position to listen to a lot of their music, I always get the same reacion. I've seem them on TV shows. many in person, and have appreciated them all over the spectrum. Because to me it all comes down to the same thing - the Greatest Generation of music. If you ever saw the Rock and Roll Graffiti show on the Nashville Network, you would get a sense of it. I'm maybe saying from 1952 - By 1970 anything from AM radio was off my radar screen except for a very few that sounded older. I'm not quite sure where my country cutoff would be - early 80s probably. All this babbling is to say that I see all these people as one, and love them very much. They are my life.
Wow !!!! Could Charlie Pride ever sing . It is unbelievable how on of the greatest singers passed away it was so unfair what happened to him ... R.i.p. Charlie Pride you will be forever missed .
Back in the 70's Charley Pride music was and still is very loved in the Caribbean Islands. I grew up listening to it a lot from my parents. Hope to see you on stage Mr. Pride.
peter babooram I live in Texas now and people are shocked when I tell them country music is played a lot in people’s homes and bars in the Caribbean. And very old country music too. Haha
Charley toured Scandinavia in 1972, and I saw him then. The show was recorded by our national radio station and broadcast some time later, and I recorded it on my open reel tape recorder. He had a show in Gothenburg, Sweden, and after the show they went out for a meal. The restaurant had a band, and when Charley and the Pridesmen were asked to play a song they did - for the rest of the night out of sheer love of music. Great guys.
I just always Loved the way that his voice fit the Music, Everybody always says that there will never be another Elvis, but I also say that there will never be another Charley Pride ether. What a wonderful artist He was and will always be.
Charley Pride, the best ballad singer in classic country! Lloyd Green one of the top "steelers" along with players like Weldon Myrick, Hal Rugg, Curly Chalker, Buddy Emmons, Bud Charlton, Dick Overby, and others. The pedal steel can really enhance a country song! Charley's voice blends in perfectly with the pedal steel guitar.
Oh the Great Charlie Pride - been a fan since 1967 - 8 yrs old! All his music along with other greats from that era: Merle, Roger Miller, Faron Young and Mr Ray Price - many more - on the Jutebox at our Restaurant - Great artists - GREAT MUSIC! GOD BLESS YOU CHARLIE PRIDE - so good music and good man!
I grew up with his music, one of mom's faves, and sometimes it makes me cry. A country singer that looked like daddy? I remember daddy was watching a baseball game on TV, and the camera focused in on Charley in the audience. My sister and I freaked, "CHARLEY PRIDE! CHARLEY PRIDE!" and we waved at the TV...he waved back, and we *really* freaked! Takes me back to road trips to my aunt's over the Cascades, listening to his 8-tracks in the car...
A class act, as are all of Charley's. His bands were flooded with some of the best musicians around. Welk's band is no exception, Green is remarkable. Re: today's country - If the song doesn't start with either a steel or a fiddle, there is good chance, maybe 90% (some piano), that it isn't real country. If you can't dance to it, or understand the words (and the words make sense and reflect times which most of us have experienced), it probably is not real country. It is interesting that many of today's "artists", who tend to sing the throw away, disposable songs being offered, almost always get a solid round of applause if they brave out an old favorite, one which will continue to be played 30 years from now, and remembered, both for the melody and word for word.
I don't know why today's country feels like it has to compete with pop music to the point that there's hardly a difference. A person says below in the comments that all today's country's is pop music with a little twang. I would think that country musicians would know by now that there will always be country music fans, and they can do their own thing and still be loved by their fans.
I'm so sad , I love you Charlie , through the years I've laughed and cried and always loved your music, RIP one of the Greatest entertainers ever, I saw you in Branson Missouri in Sep of 1998 was the best 🌹
My parents always played country music in the house. I heard it my entire childhood and the one singer that struck a chord with my 9 year old ears was Charlie Pride singing this particular song and later Kiss An Angel Good Mornin’. I became a lifelong fan for the next half century. Rest in peace Mr. Pride.
This was a real game changer for pedal steel playing Mr. Green can Pick & Grin ! Many years later 1989 Marty Stuart does a picture perfect cover of this pedal steal and all & he adds some nice backing vocals reminiscent of the Anita Kerr sing you hear on all the R.C.A. records particularly Chet Atkins sessions . Thank God for the Author of the the song Cowboy Jack Clement Pick & Grin LoL
God bless Charlie Pride and his family. My thoughts and prayers for the family and friends of Mr. Pride. Growing up Listening to him on the radio thou I'm just a fan, but to me Charlie Pride was a friend there when I needed him good times and bad his songs are messages and advice. Thank you old friend you will be missed but never forgotten.
Watching Lloyd Green play is almost like watching Roy Orbson singing. Listen to all the magical music he's making, but watch him, he hardly moves at all. It's all so easy for him.
Charley Pride has 39 number one country songs. That shows that if you're good the country audience will approve regardless of race. Merle Haggard has only 38.
I loved him years and years ago n i still love him....i know every song by HEArt. N i can play them on my guitar....rip Charley....u music lives on!!!🎵🎶🎼🎸🎸🎸🎼🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸😘😘💖💖💖
I love love love this clip. Funniest thing is when Lloyd starts up on the intro and the bass player isn't ready which causes the three first notes on the bass to be fumblin' about untill he catches up. Truly wonderful song, thank you so much Charlie and friends!
Give credit not only to Lloyd Green on the steel guitar but also to The men in Lawrence Welk’s band who backed Charley Pride on this song: Buddy Clark on bass, Buddy Merrill on acoustic guitar, Neil Levang on electric guitar, and Johnny Klein on drums.
One of the best Country singers of all time --- Love his music RIP Charley Pride 😌 He was one of the greats in Country music Nothing like the real Country music, Charlie is one of the very best ever I love that song so much so beautiful and sweet and romantic song great song I love Charlie Pride so much 🎶🎶❤️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💗💗💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🦊🎵🤩🎸😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😘💯💯🎼😊👍🥰🎧⭐😍☺️💘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🔥
I wish the youth of today like me could listen to this regularly!!!!! The most amazing stuff Ive ever heard. Ever since my grandpa listens to this Ive come to love it :)
Mr. Pride passed away in Dallas, Texas. I feel connected to him in so many ways and have always loved his music. RIP Mr. Pride. ✨Charley Pride ✨🩵🖤
He kissed me on the cheek at one of his concerts when I was about 14. I nearly passed out….lol. 62 now and still remember it like it was yesterday.
So cute! ❤
That made me smile, I was also a fan of his through childhood and beyond. A smooth sound , and you could just tell he was a good man.
I saw Charley at His Concert in Great Falls Montana. I listened to His Songs since i was a Boy. Today at 50 Years old He is still my Favourite ❤
Remember the 8 track in my Dad's truck..it was Charlie Pride live at Panther Stadium..I still to listen to that double album ..awesome ❤
He is definitely one of the greats of country music!
saw charley a few years ago in cambridge , he never sang this song , when we met him after the concert and he was signing various items , i said to him Charley you never sang my mums fav song ,just between you and me , and the great man stopped signing and sang to my mum,
roy newbigging class guy
Wow touching 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Saw him at the Brockton Fair. Great guy. Stopped and posed so fans could take pics.
That sounds like the Charley Pride I got to work with!
Wow! He sure was wonderful! When I was a little girl I wanted to marry him. Haha. Memories. I loved his song Crystal Chandeliers. What a kind and humble man he was.
I never stop listening to Charley Pride. He's my favorite country singer
RIP Mr Charley Pride 😞 He was one of the greats in Country music!
One of the best country singers of all time.. Love his music ..

When Lloyd came out of retirement none of the current breed of producers would return his calls. He's simply one of the best musicians on the planet and they're blowing him off.
Yup - you are right on about this whole scene. Sad and complete B.S. on the part of the producers
aw man, I never knew that. Makes you wonder, awesome talent should be employable regardless
Sat Dec 12, 2020 ,sadly we lost this wonderful man and country legend this morning in Dallas, TX.
Charley's singing and Lloyd's picking are the perfect match! Thanks for all the great music and memories!
The term 'legend' is thrown around a bit, but no one deserves the label more than Charlie !!!
It's spelled CHARLEY, a common mistake.
I appreciate your tribute to "The Pride of Country Music." 👍
My daddy, God rest his soul, would be 96 years old now. I believe he bought every album Charley Pride ever made. Charley was his favorite country singer and he is certainly my favorite as well.
Lloyd Green could make that steel guitar talk .What a player !!!!
True country. RIP, Mr Pride, thank you for sharing your gift.
What a class act charley is.
One of the absolute greatest country musicians. The voice of a honky tonk hero.
Wow! Charlie Pride on The Lawrence Welk show. This is rare!
I believe this was the first of two times Charley did a guest appearance on the show. The second time was a year or so later.
Right? Ed Sullivan maybe. But my grandma's favorite show back then? Speaks volumes.
Sure is! And esp with Lloyd on steel - plus Welk's band is doing fine in backing...Buddy Merrill on gtr?
@@gregtreadway3142
Welk had Lynn Anderson on his show and she sung her top hit "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden". Having her on the show proved that his show was quality!
This is REAL country music. Not the crap they air on TV and radio nowadays. Where are all the REAL shows and radio stations that play REAL artists like this. I wouldn't give a plug nickel for all the supposed "stars" that peddle their crap today.
You are absolutely right . .this is real good country songs by Charlie Pride.
You haven't even lived yet,
Marty Stuart's show. All good music.
Amen.
What you say is so true. I can't stand to listen to the radio anymore. I haven't for about 10 years.
Always so beautiful
I was a radio disc jockey and radio program director for 40 years...top 40 early 70's...then country music during 80'-90's played it all ....I'm my opinion "Is Any Body Going To San Antone" by Charlie is the best country song of all time...just about 2 minutes in length but there are so many stories in that one song....just listen to it
People who understand country and blues, has to love Charley Pride. If you don't get it, that is your problem.
Spot on !!
Exactly. One of the greatest Country singers and a true star. So sad he has passed away.
Had to be 👍great, people still listen to his music. I know I do.

Love you Charley Pride one of the best country Singer ever !!!!
Charley Pride and absolute legend. Lloyd Green make that steel pedal talk man..beautiful!!
Roy ,that tells you just what a true star and gentleman Charley really is. True class and a nice guy.
A man who appreciates everything he has. A gentleman who voice sounds the best on or off stage. Love you Charley !!!!
This video clip is a gem.
IT SURE IS.
legend
and.... wtf is that bird on about? strange ......
Back in the 70's Charley Pride music was and still is very loved in the Caribbean Islands. I grew up listening to it a lot from my parents. Hope to see you on stage Mr. Pride.
I am from trinidad, and my neighbour used to play his songs on his stereo very loud, iam grown now and still listen his songs today
peter babooram I live in Texas now and people are shocked when I tell them country music is played a lot in people’s homes and bars in the Caribbean. And very old country music too. Haha
Rest In Peace to one of the greatest voices in modern music history! Charley you were awesome!
Anything Charley Pride sings I like...a lot.
Thanks for posting !
Hell Bonnie
RIP Charley. I’m really sad today we have lost you today but you’re music will always be with us
This is real country music, "Charley Pride"

I live near Great Falls, Montana. Saw him in concert when I was in Australia. He's very popular there.
Hello Marie
We love him here, check out another country icon by the name of slim dusty, hes aussie
Yes we certainly do. Charley Pride has and will always be popular in Australia.
Fabulous music by Charley Pride and that steel guitar!!
Nothing like the real country music, Charlie is one of the very best ever. 🎶❤️🎶
You got that right.
Lloyd's intro and fills on this song were the first licks I learned on pedal steel.
A class act, as are all of Charley's. His bands were flooded with some of the best musicians around. Welk's band is no exception, Green is remarkable.

I always loved him too, Randy. I was very sad to hear he died yesterday. Enjoying old videos of him and my memories.
Wish I could of see him appearing live, what a humble person!
It don't get any better than that boys and girls!
I saw Charley about 4 years ago, still puts an awesome show!!
Very nice. What a great singer. Classic!!

Great singer. Always loved to hear him sing. He will be missed.
Charlie Pride a class act for sure.
Lloyd Green one of the greatest pedal guitar players in history
You got that right, sir.
But when he hits that first note - that's very important on this song, and he knocked it out of the park
Sure was hard to beat!!
Still is.
You got that right, brother

Charley Pride has 39 number one country songs. That shows that if you're good the country audience will approve regardless of race. Merle Haggard has only 38.
If I hear his music, l leave everything i'm busy with and listen, loved his singing.
