Country singer Charley Pride will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this coming Wednesday, when he becomes the first African American artist so honored. He's won three Grammy Awards, had more than 50 singles on the charts and more than half in the Top 10, including the Number One hit "Kiss An Angel Good Morning". Host Jacki Lyden talks to him about his career.
