The listing, SIGNED COPY of "PRIDE" BY CHARLIE PRIDE 9/12/97 Seventh Edition Paperback has ended.

From an impoverished childhood in Sledge, Mississippi, Charley Pride ascended into the pantheon of country music, winning three Grammys, selling thirty million records in the United States alone, and garnering thirteen gold albums - more than Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, or Merle Haggard. In May 1993, he became the seventieth member of the Grand Ole Opry. But what sets this fascinating autobiography apart from other memoirs is the fact that Charley Pride is the only black superstar in the white galaxy of country music. Pride's initial ticket out of poverty was baseball. It was while playing for a Missoula, Montana, semipro team that he got his first paying gig, singing in a country-western bar; shortly after, he was discovered, gaining an audition in Nashville during the most bitter and polarized years of the civil rights struggle. When he was signed by RCA in 1956, his records began to sell immediately; he has ridden the charts for the many years since, toured worldwide, set attendance records at concerts, and has continued recording. This forthright autobiography offers fresh, disarmingly funny insights on being a highly conspicuous anomaly and making it work. Charley Pride's constant struggle for acceptance, singing in the only way he knows how, has enriched his life and made him an enlightened, charismatic force. Now one of Nashville's elder statesmen, Pride has lived through Music City's ongoing waves of turnover - and has earned himself a permanent place in country music's history.

THIS IS A SIGNED COPY OF THE SEVENTH EDITION SIGNED IN BRANSON, MISSOURI AT THE CHARLIE PRIDE THEATER.
In June 1994, Charley opened the Charley Pride Theatre in Branson Missouri. He performed there for 4 years, doing nearly 200 shows a year at the 2000 seat complex. This same year, Pride was also honored by the Academy Of Country Music with its prestigious Pioneer Award.

Well, that's really nice that You would fan everyone who fans You Connor! But I have seen You do this to other auctions, and this really isn't the way to go about it, by using other people's auctions to 'advertise" yourself. What would be appropriate, would be to have your OWN auctions, and then make that statement as many others here do and have done. As for myself, I reached the 1000 fan limit, so I cannot even fan the cool and thoughtful people who have fanned me; and that bothers me!!! So, i hope that You get your own auctions up and get involved in Listia that way. Best Regards!!!! JAY
