"CHARLIE PRIDE"
(Meridian, Miss) - Country Music Hall of Fame member and Mississippi native
Charley Pride, was honored with another industry accolade recently, celebrating his legendary career as a pioneering Country
musician. Pride was inducted into the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience Hall of Fame class of 2018, on August 25th

Charley Pride was born in Sledge, Mississippi to a sharecropping

on WSM radio. He saved money for almost a year to purchase his first guitar at age 14 - a Silvertone model from Sears &
Roebuck.
In 1966, Pride was signed by Chet Atkins to RCA Records,
where his gritty, Southern-accented baritone voice made him a superstar. Pride has received three Grammys, three Country Music
Association awards, an Academy of Country Music Pioneer Award, Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry inductions and
a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award.
His 52 top-10 hits
include "Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone," "Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town," "Burgers and Fries,"
"Roll On Mississippi" and others.
The eighteen other Mississippi
artists inducted into the Hall are: painter Walter Inglis Anderson, writer William Faulkner, actor Morgan Freeman, writer
John Grisham, puppeteer Jim Henson, bluesman Robert Johnson, actor James Earl Jones, bluesman B.B.King, potter George Ohr,
entertainer Elvis Presley, opera singer Leontyne Price, musician Jimmie Rodgers, bluesman Muddy Waters, actor Sela Ward, writer
