The Charley Pride’s Top 80 Songs

With a warm, strong baritone voice and a knack for phrasing that gave his performances a down-home sincerity and believability, Charley Pride was one of country music’s biggest success stories in the late 1960s through the mid-’80s. Most at home with relatable stories of love and life, with tuneful arrangements supporting his vocals, Pride racked up 36 number one country singles and 12 gold albums in his 1966 to 1983 heyday.

Part of what made Pride’s initial success so remarkable was the fact that he was the first African-American artist to break through to major stardom in country music.

Pride is also one of only three Black performers to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, and he was ushered into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000.

Although it’s tough to choose the best moments from his catalogue, here are the Top 80 Charley Pride songs:
