CHARLEY PRIDE: I'M JUST ME traces the improbable journey of Charley Pride (1934-2020), from his humble beginnings as a sharecropper's son on a cotton farm in segregated Sledge, Mississippi to his career as a Negro American League baseball player and his meteoric rise as a trailblazing country music superstar. The documentary, which originally aired on American Masters in 2019, reveals how Pride's love for music led him from the Delta to a larger, grander world. In the 1940s, radio transcended racial barriers, making it possible for Pride to grow up listening to and imitating Grand Ole Opry stars like Ernest Tubb and Roy Acuff. The singer arrived in Nashville in 1963 while the city roiled with sit-ins and racial violence. But with boldness, perseverance and undeniable musical talent, he managed to parlay a series of fortuitous encounters with music industry insiders into a legacy of hit singles, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Narrated by Grammy-nominated country singer Tanya Tucker, the film features original interviews with country music royalty including Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Marty Stuart; as well as on-camera conversations between Pride and special guests including Rozene Pride (his wife of 61 years), Willie Nelson and fellow musicians. Songs include "Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'," "The Snakes Crawl At Night," and "Mountain of Love."
