Charley Pride has been one of my biggest influences in music since I can remember. I remember listening to him as a child, and singing his songs whenever I got the chance. He is definately one of Country Music's Greatest Artists. He has a unique Voice that is un-mistakable. Charley Pride is a man I have the ut-most Respect for as an Artist and as a Person. His career has not been an easy one by any means, yet he has always managed to excell in Country Music.
Someday I hope to be ale to meet the man who has influenced me so greatly.
