Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Dylan’s big payday: A master class in selling out


A tag has been placed on Draft:Dylan’s big payday: A master class in selling out, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.wikilks.com/2020/12/23/dylans-big-payday-a-master-class-in-selling-out/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The velvet-voiced singer who became country’s first black star
Charley Pride grew up in the segregated Deep South at a time when aspiring black musicians had two options: play jazz or sing the blues. But Pride, raised by a strict father who tuned the radio to the Grand Ole Opry, loved country, the whitest of American genres. The country business didn’t initially love him back.

RCA Records sent his first singles to radio stations without publicity photos, hoping he’d be mistaken for white. When he began performing live, Pride put white audiences at ease by joking about his “permanent tan.” But with his honeyed baritone, Pride became country’s first black superstar, landing 52 records in the country top 10 from 1966 to 1987, including 29 No. 1’s. His biggest hit, 1971’s “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’,” sat on the pop chart for four months. Although proud of his trailblazing achievements, Pride—who died of complications from Covid-19—bristled at talk of race. “I’m no color,” he said. “I’m just Charley Pride, the man.” He was born in Sledge, Miss., “the fourth of 11 children in a family of sharecroppers,” said The Washington Post.

The kids slept three or four to a bed and picked cotton when not at school. Young Charley was a fan of Hank Williams and bought a $10 Sears guitar at age 14. But he also idolized Jackie Robinson and thought baseball could be his way out of poverty; he left home at 16 to pitch for a Negro League team in Memphis. Pride tried out for several major-league teams before an arm injury derailed his ball-playing dreams. He moved to Helena, Mont., where he shoveled coal at a smelting plant, said The New York Times. Country singers Red Sovine and Red Foley discovered Pride singing before a 1962 semipro baseball game and persuaded him to make a go of it in Nashville.

Record executives loved his resonant baritone but refused to believe a black man could play country. “Now sing in your regular voice,” he was told at one audition. Signed to RCA in 1965, Pride became “the label’s second- biggest- selling artist after Elvis Presley,” said The Times (U.K.). “His success was hard won.” Producer Jack Clement hired musicians for Pride’s first recording session by asking, “I’m fixin’ to cut a record with this n-. Are you free?” A drunk George Jones once painted “KKK” on Pride’s car. Nashville eventually accepted Pride: The Country Music Association named him Entertainer of the Year in 1971, and in 1993 he became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Pride studiously avoided controversy. But in his 1994 memoir, he recalled how singer Webb Pierce had once told him it’s “good for you to be in our music.” Pride replied: “It’s my music, too.”
