黑人鄉村歌手Charly Pride

有不少歌手曾講過，當別人在那邊講不知道甚麼歌會賣得好之時，他們知道自己已經錄了一首暢銷曲。

按照Charly Pride的說法，1971年的冠軍曲Kiss An Angel Good Morning對他而言是一個意外。

Charly Pride說:我對我錄的歌完全沒有概念，我也不覺得那一首歌會暢銷，只是剛錄好的時候覺得很喜歡那一首歌。

Ben Peters寫了Kiss An Angel Good Morning，Charly Pride聽了之後覺得很喜歡，想進錄音室錄下來，但他真的沒期待那一首歌後來會得排行榜冠軍。

Charly Pride的單曲Kiss An Angel Good Morning於1971年10月23日進鄉村歌曲排行榜，獲得五周冠軍。

Kiss An Angel Good Morning在流行歌曲排行榜則獲得第21名，並獲得Grammy鄉村歌曲獎。

Charly Pride出生於密西西比州Sledge，是最成功的黑人鄉村歌星，有29首歌獲得鄉村歌曲排行榜冠軍。

Kiss An Angel Good Morning

Whenever I chance to meet

 some old friends on the street

 They wonder how does a man get to be this way

 I've always got a smiling face

 Anytime and any place

 And everytime they ask me why

 I just smile and say

 You've got to

 Kiss an angel good morning

 and let her know you think about her when you're gone

 Kiss an angel good morning

 and love her like the devil when you get back home

 Well people may try to guess

 The secret of a happiness

 but some of them never learn it's a simple thing

 The secret i'm speaking of

 Is a woman and a man in love

 and the answer is in this song

 that i always sing

 You've got to

 Kiss an angel good morning

 and let you know you think about her when you're gone

 Kiss an angel good morning

 and love her like the devil when you get back home

 Kiss an angel good morning

 and let you know you think about her when you're gone

 Kiss an angel good morning

 and love her like the devil when you get back home
