Charley Pride was born in Sledge, MS in 1938 and started playing the guitar when he was 14, but it was baseball that it was first passion until he was turned down from two MLB teams. In 1963 he headed over to Nashville after he sang backup for Red Foley and Red Sovine and eventually became a star when his single “Just Between You and Me” became a radio hit, without the public’s knowledge that he was a black man.
Charley Pride tickets are now available for a man who has been performing country music and breaking stereotypes since the ‘60s. Since his 1966 single “Just Between You and Me” hit the number nine spot he continued to see a Top Ten streak until 1984. Now playing some of his most classic material with some of his more recent singles, including fun Christmas hits and singles from his 2003 Comfort of Her Wings, Charley Pride will be a concert not to miss!
Though initially radio heads who were playing Charley Pride’s music didn’t know the musician was black, when Pride’s record company finally introduced him to the world, country music opened their arms to the man who had straight Top Ten hits for nearly two decades. As the first black performer to play at the Grand Ole Opry since 1925, country music has never been the same, and neither will you when you see him perform live with your own Charley Pride tickets!
