Ranked 8th on Billboard's 100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time (2024) https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-country-singers/8-charley-pride/ Welcome to the official website for the legendary Charley Pride—we greatly appreciate you stopping by to celebrate and/or learn more about Charley's history, music and legacy!

The surest way to keep up with official Charley Pride announcements is to sign up for the email list. You should also join the official Charley Pride facebook page where we post new messages and content. But fans sometimes don't see these posts due to Facebook's newsfeed algorithms.

Surprisingly vigorous and the picture of good health at 86 years of age, Charley had intended to continue performing and recording for as long as his voice would allow. But sadly he fell ill in late November 2020 and passed away on December 12, 2020 due to complications from COVID-19.

In memory of his legacy, we are transitioning this site into a historical information resource for both longtime fans and those discovering Charley's amazing body of musical work.

Fans can find solace in the knowledge that many of Charley's appearances on record have yet to be revealed. Beyond the treasure trove of unreleased studio recordings that exist in various master tape vaults, Charley had been in the studio working on a number of solo and collaborative recordings during January 2020 just prior to the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic. One the vintage studio session outtakes, "Ready for the Ride" was recently released on an expanded digital reissue of Charley's 2003 COMFORT OF HER WINGS album. And several other previously-unreleased recordings are slated to be released later in 2025.

Charley's most recent full-length studio album was titled MUSIC IN MY HEART. For a recent discography please visit the Music page. Also, if you've never seen the music video for "Standing In My Way," you can watch it here.

The website store is currently being renovated in anticipation of the upcoming new music releases and additional official Charley Pride merchandise offerings being made available later this year. Please be patient while we prepare these new and exciting items and give the store an overhaul.

Enjoy your visit!
