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 League’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.

Love unending love undying love that never grows cold
Love that never leaves you crying love that never grows old
That's what I'd give to you if you say that you love me too
That's what I'd give to you all the days of my life
Love for loving love for living love that has no pride
Love that's tender and forgiving soft and warm inside
That's what I'd give to you...
I'd give you everything that's mine to give
I'd give you more than this a reason to live
Love unending love undying...
All the days of my life all the days of my life
