I've tried to help a lot of young artists get started.
From Charley Pride
I think there's enough room in country music for everybody.
Singing as a full-time job was not something I had given a lot of thought to and I had no clear notion of the money to be made in it.
In 20 years I had sold more records for RCA than any artist except Elvis Presley.
When I came up, there was room for the new and the old. For every new artist, an old one didn't have to be pushed out.
Until MTV, television had not been a huge influence on music. To compete with MTV, the country music moguls felt they had to appeal to the same young audience and do it the way MTV did.
