On July 20, 1972, Charlie Pride and his band came to Milwaukee's Summerfest for a show.

Charlie and his band were having a successful tour with his 1971 hit "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin". It was his biggest hit but he did have 30 others on the Billboard charts.

The photos of his band here are interesting and fun to look at! Anybody know who the steel guitar player is???

I know that Charlie loved baseball and tried to be a pitcher with the Yankees in 1953. He lost the magic on his fastball and the Yankees sent him to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin to play in their Class D team! Never knew that!

Enjoy some photos of Charlie and his band at Summerfest in 1972.
