Wikipedia now has 1934 for Charley's y.o.b. - some other sites still have 1938, but it appears that he is 83 today.

Here from his great live LP "Charley Pride In Person" recorded in 1968 at Panther Hall, Fort Worth, Texas - 'The Streets of Baltimore' - Tompall Glaser & Harlan Howard song first recorded by Bobby Bare (and later by Gram Parsons)
