No one had ever told me that whites were supposed to sing one kind of music and blacks another - I sang what I liked in the only voice I had.

How often does a guy who lives and breathes baseball meet a woman who loves the game and understands it as well as he?

I learned to tune a guitar by ear. That method has served me pretty well.

I was sometimes jeered by black soldiers who wanted me to sing something besides country music.

Early in my career I began receiving letters from a woman in the Midwest who claimed to be my mother.

What qualifies me to tell people how to act or what to think? I'm Charley Pride, country singer. Period.

I believe it is possible to tell what sign some people were born under by watching their eyes, watching how they walk, how they talk.
