Born to poor sharecroppers, one of eleven children in Sledge, Mississippi, Pride is a timeless everyman, revered by his musical peers and adored by countless millions of fans around the globe. Charley Pride unofficially started his music career in the late 1950s as a ballplayer with the Negro American Leagueâ€™s Memphis Red Sox singing and playing guitar on the team bus between ballparks. Self-taught on a guitar bought at the age 14 from Sears Roebuck, Pride would join various bands' onstage as he and the team roved the country. After a tryout with the New York Mets, Pride decided to return to his Montana home via Nashville. It was there he met Jack Johnson, who upon hearing the singer perform, sent him on his way with the promise of a management contract and a newly forged relationship that would last for over a decade.

A Sunshiny Day Lyrics

Charley Pride

If I wake up in the morning when I look outside it's storming
And it seems the world is covered by clouds of grey
I don't really mind the weather baby long as we're together
In my heart it's a gonna be a sunshiny day
I don't ever pay attention about the weatherman may mention
I don't even care about what he's got to say
I surely care now if it showers when you got a love like ours
Every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day
And I'll have a sunshine day every day that I live
The sweet love that you give will make it shine
And I'll I have a sunshiny day in my heart from now on just as long as you are mine

So let the howlin' wind start blowin' let the raindrops keep on flowin'
Everytime they touch my face just kiss them away
Even with the clouds above me long as I've got you to love me
Every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day
And I'll have a sunshiny day...
So let the howlin' wind start blowin' let the raindrops keep on flowin'
Every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day yes every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day
