Charlie Died

[Rizla]

Charlie Pride, dead from the covid. Toured the UK in the mid 70s, when no travelling acts were doing NI gigs due to the troubles. Charlie said fuck that, book me some muthafuckin Belfast dates. Good man.

My late dad absolutely loved this guy. It did always strike me as strange that a black, American country singer was so huge in 70s Norn Iron. Was he similarly popular on the mainland?
