The country music world has been hit hard, yet again, by another loss in their family--and this time, it is their most successful African-American exponent. Charley Pride passed away at his home in Dallas at the age of 86, apparently becoming one of the nearly 300,000 Americans felled by COVID-19:

"I don't think of myself as a star. I didn't set out to become a star, I set out to become a singer. I would have sung no matter what. The star part is just something that they made up in Hollywood in 1930."--Linda Ronstadt

	"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." ~T. Roosevelt

Charley, may you rest in peace now...

One of the first country music records that I bought back in the 70ies was from you, Charley, and I still have it and listen to you and your music occasionally.
