Gone, but will be remembered:

Adios, Charley Pride, 86.
My wife’s parents took us to see him twice way back at the Jube.
Great voice and black entertainer who broke ground for blacks in country (though Ray Charles also did a memorable C & W album before that.)
In 1973-75, in Grand Centre/Cold Lake, I sang his “The Snakes Crawl at Night”. Nice ironic song and fun to sing.
