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.

Never Been So Loved Lyrics

Charley Pride

I'm no stranger to loving arms
Well, I'm accustomed to lady's charms
You know that I didn't just arrive into town
You might say that I've been around
I've seen the fighter in lover's eyes
I've seen the lost pay in my time
I didn't think that there was much I'd missed
But let me tell you this

I've never been so loved in all my love
I've never felt the way I feel tonight
You came along and made my world turn bright
I've never loved like this before
I've never been so loved in all my love
I want forever to be like tonight
I'm going to need you 'til the day I die
I've never been so loved in all my love

Ain't it amazing, you're naturally fine
You've got a hold on this heart of mine
And I don't want you to ever let go
Hell, I just want you to know

I've never been so loved in all my love
I've never felt the way I feel tonight
You came along and made my world turn bright
I've never loved like this before(fade)
