HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Charley Pride, born 84 years ago today (March 18) in Sledge, Miss. As one of the most-successful black C&W singers, he had 29 No. 1 country charters, and "Kiss An Angel Good Morning" was a big 1971 crossover hit ...

I grew up listening to CP. Most of my family were impressed that a "colored man" would be interested in crossing over and do so well in Country music. My uncle and Aunt never missed a local CP concert. Heck he even talked like us. It was a bit flattering, I guess. Yep he has many fans in the South.
