		Before Pride came on the scene in the 1960s, "there were no mainstream fl performers in country music and never had been." The story he tells in this excellent autobiography is, thus, more than the rise to fame and fortune of a poor sharecroppper's son from rural Mississippi.
		Starting in small-town bars, Pride broke the color line in the heart of redneck country where it was unheard of for a fl man to enter the door.
		Pride's earliest hero was Jackie Robinson and it seems fair to say he has been as much of a pioneer as that celebrated athlete.

	Charley Pride (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Charley's rendition is done in a more stripped down, folksy, story-telling style, and there's a world weariness in his voice that is much more convincing in conveying the 'down on their luck' feeling of each character as 'the chain' is passed on.
		Charley Pride has delivered a strong album of songs, a mix of hardcore honky tonk and homespun charm that reflect the man he is- humble yet full of pride in his roots, family and faith, lighthearted and witty, warm and personable along with his love and deep respect for country music.
		The songs are classic Charley Pride, his style is timeless and neither he or the songs sound 'dated.' If life were fair and things weren't as they are today, Comfort Of Her Wings could have easily put Charley Pride back on the charts.

		Charley Pride: If "apprehensive" is the right word...it was kind of a test every time I went onstage, but ususally, [once] I got started, it turned out very fine.
		Charley Pride: I'm not particularly fond of water, but as far as enjoying the cruise and all my fans and everything, it was as enjoyable as it sounds.
		Charley Pride: Well, it's different, and I'm glad for the youngsters, but I wish they still had the chance to become known like we did it, like when they didn't just throw the record on and if the record did alright and not promote the artist too.

		Charley Pride may well be the best country artist ever.He's just got a style that's very charismatic.All of the songs on this CD are great and I highly recommend it.
		Charley Pride's RCA catalog history on disc has always puzzled me. Here's a guy that RCA claims is second only to Elvis in company record sales and who managed over fifty country hits for them (twenty-nine of which went number one).
		Whether you're a long-time Charley Pride fan or a newcomer to this legend's music, I doubt you'll be disappointed with this compilation.

		Charley's popularity in America was at its height between 1969 and 1973, represented here by All I have to offer you is me and the subsequent tracks on the first CD.
		While most of Pride's hits are here, Anthology and this set omit some key tracks: his first single "Snakes Crawl At Night," his last big RCA hit "Every Heart Should Have One," the haunting "Missin' You," and the nostalgic "Burgers And Fries," among others.
		But with the bulk of Pride's catalog still in the vault, these forty tracks will need to sate those new to Pride's catalog, and whet the appetite of those who still hanging on to their original vinyl.
