国立アメリカ歴史博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (国立アメリカ歴史博物館Instagram)「We are thinking this evening about the remarkable achievements of country music legend Charley Pride and giving a spin to his classics, “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'” and “Just Between You and Me.” From his ultra-smooth delivery of sentimental love songs, to those of heartbreak and hardcore honky-tonk despair, Pride's unmistakable voice earned him tremendous accolades and broke barriers as he navigated a country music industry made up almost entirely of white artists and producers. Our music collections include more than sixty of Pride's records. While a child growing up in Mississippi and picking cotton with his family, Pride avidly listened to music on the radio and took up the guitar as a teen. A talented athlete, he played for several years in baseball’s Negro Leagues before hitting it big as a country music sensation. In a year of marked by the loss of some of our most significant musical artists, our thoughts are with Pride's family and fans.
