CHARLEY PRIDE:THE RIGHT CHOICES

hen Charley Pride took the stage at the October 2010 All for the Hall benefit concert at Nash-ville’s Bridgestone Arena, the reception was startling. Stars with recent hits — Billy Currington, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride,Keith Urban and others — dotted the lineup at this annual fundraising event for the CountryMusic Hall of Fame and Museum. Many of the 13,000 or so fans in the audience hadn’t evenstarted school yet when Pride hit No. 1 in 1983 with “Night Games” (written by Alan Mevis andNorro Wilson). It was easy to wonder if a large block of seats might be occupied by people whowere unfamiliar with his work.

WBut then Pride launched into his signature song, “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’” (Ben Peters) and a scant two

minutes later the response was long and loud. Assessing Pride’s impact on younger listeners, his fellow Country Music Hall of Fame member Brenda Leeoffered, “I think you respond to talent. I don’t care if you know who he is.” The kids at the arena not only knew who Charley Pride was, they loved him. And they gave him anotheroverwhelming reception when he followed with a cover of “Hello Darlin’,” written and recorded by Conway Twitty.The feedback was so strong that Bob Heatherly, President/CEO of Pride’s record label, Music City Records, laterreceived several enthusiastic phone calls from some Music Row peeps who’d witnessed the emotional perfor-mance. When you get industry executives excited,” he observed, “then you know you’ve done something right.” Pride has indeed done a lot, much of which is referenced in his 1994 autobiography, Pride: The CharleyPride Story. Beginning in 1966, he lobbed more than 65 singles onto the charts, with more than 50 reaching theTop 10. Thirty-six of them went all the way to No. 1, including the Hank Williams cover “Honky Tonk Blues,” “IsAnybody Goin’ to San Antone?” (David Kirby and Glenn Martin) and the sultry “You’re So Good When You’re Bad”(Ben Peters). Pride accrued seven Gold albums from 1970 through 1975, a time when the Platinum designationdidn’t exist, and picked up a million-selling single with “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’.” He also won the CMAEntertainer of the Year Award and two CMA Male Vocalist of the Year honors during that same period. To date,he’s sold more than 70 million albums, including 31 Gold, four Platinum and one Quadruple Platinum. In 2000, Pride joined the late Faron Young as the last two members inducted into CMA’s Country Music Hallof Fame when the Museum was still housed at its original, barn-shaped structure at 16th Avenue andDemonbreun Street on Music Row. That distinction is symbolic. The Museum moved to its present location the following spring, and Pride isarguably one of the architects who helped Country Music move to larger venues as well, from clubs and theatersinto arenas. “He’s absolutely part of the reason that the business expanded to what it is today,” Lee said. “He was one ofthe first superstars that started working the big venues that Country artists had not regularly worked before.” Pride recognizes the importance of the role he has played — but pride goes only so far. “My dad used to say, ‘Your name is Pride but there’s more to it than that,’” the singer recalled. “You don’twant to have too much of that; you can overdo anything. I think everybody should have pride about themselves butit shouldn’t be overused.” This conviction remains at the heart of Pride’s material. He did, after all, make a name for himself singing“I’m Just Me” (Glenn Martin) and “All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)” (Dallas Frazier and Al Owens). It’s also acentral theme on his latest album, Choices. Its songs embrace old-school attitudes, from the family-valuesopener “America the Great” (Edward Allen Gowens and Larry Mercey) to “The Bottom Line” (Drew Bourke, ArtCraig and Justin Peters), whose lyric prioritizes commitment over finance. Two other songs employ fictitiousnewspaper names — “Hickory Hollow Times & County News” (Matt Lindsey and Herb McCullough) and“Guntersville Gazette” (Phillip Douglas, Ron Harbin and Richie McDonald) — in celebrating a slower-paced era.It’s Pride singing about who he is to an audience that’s holding on to that same identity. “He wants to stay true to his fans, even though they may be getting older and may not be buying as muchmusic,” said Heatherly. Yet they do still buy tickets and they respond as much as that youthful audience at the All for the Hall eventdid to “America the Great.” Pride inserted that song into his live set even before he released the album, andlisteners reacted immediately to the words, which invoke John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, prayer in schoolsand “In God We Trust.” “They start to rise up in the front,” Pride said. “They just start clapping their hands, and then they stand up,and pretty soon it goes all the way back almost half a block to the bleachers. Goosebumps just started coming,”he added as he recounted the scene at his shows. “It was something else.” A native of Sledge, Miss., and one of eleven children, Pride confounded his friends and family by listening tothe Grand Ole Opry rather than gospel and blues in his early years. In those days, however, a dream for a careerin Country Music seemed unattainable. “My dream was to play baseball and go to the major leagues,” he said. “When I saw Jackie Robinson go tothe major leagues, I said, ‘Well, that’s my way out of the cotton fields. I want to go to the major leagues and I wantto make all the records.’” Pride had the talent to do it too. He played for the Memphis Red Sox, and in 1956 he pitched for the NegroLeague when it assembled a group of its top players to play a major league all-star team that included future Hallof Famers Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. But while the majors include 30 teams today, that circle was moreexclusive in Pride’s youth. “There wasn’t but 16 teams in the major leagues then,” he said. “You didn’t go around hitting .212 — I call itthe New York area code — with five runs batted in and getting $1.5 million.” Pride had tryouts with a couple of major-league teams, including the Los Angeles Angels soon after theywere founded by another Country Music Hall of Fame member, Gene Autry. But he didn’t make the cut, and whenhe suffered a severe ankle injury at 23, that ended his chances.

“When Johnny Bench was in the Cincinnati Reds, he went in at 18 or 19 yearsold, and he’s in the (Major League Baseball) Hall of Fame,” Pride noted. “So back inthose days, if you weren’t in the majors by the time you were 25, that’s about it; theyjust kind of marked you off. Of course, now we have 30 teams and if you can doanything at 45, they’ll use you.” His teammates had always encouraged Pride to consider singing professionally,and as baseball faded, he refocused his sights on Country Music. It seemed like along shot, though. Country had spun a series of African-American string bands in itsearly days, and DeFord Bailey had played harmonica on the Opry in the pre-TV era.But there had never been a successful black Country singer up to that point. The odds were staggering. Civil rights leader Medgar Evers was assassinated inPride’s home state in 1963, just nine months before Pride signed his first manage-ment deal with Jack D. Johnson. The Civil Rights Act was signed in July 1964, barelymore than a year before he secured his first recording contract with RCA Records, runat the time by his fellow CMA Country Music Hall of Fame member Chet Atkins. Pride won over the industry and the public by applying his grainy tone totraditional Country songs with a sincere passion. In one key moment in Arizona, hehad to fill in for Jimmy Durante when the vaudevillian had suffered an injury. Theaudience had never heard of Pride. It certainly hadn’t come to hear Country Music. ButPride prevailed and the date instilled a huge amount of confidence. “I got a standing ovation when I got through,” he recalled. “I said, ‘Now, wait aminute. If I can get in front of Jimmy Durante’s audience and get a response like this,all I got to do is get in front of them.’” Forty years have passed and Pride is still winning over audiences. And beyondhis new fans and the film world, Pride has strengthened his links to baseball. Fordecades he’s attended spring training annually with the Texas Rangers; in 2010 hetook it a step further by joining with Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan and otherinvestors to purchase the team. Just a few months after the deal was done, theRangers made it into the World Series for the first time in the club’s 50-year history. For all that’s going right for Pride, he still feels the need to prove himself withevery concert and every trip to the recording studio. “I’m never a guy that’s going tothink everything is automatic,” he said. “I don’t take anything for granted. No matterhow successful I’ve been, I still have a job to do.”On the Web: www.CharleyPride.com
