American country singer Charley Pride "will never be forgotten" in Ireland, according to his "fan and friend" Daniel O'Donnell.
O'Donnell, who recorded Crystal Chandeliers with Charley Pride, said his death was a "very, very sad loss".
Pride was one of the few international singers who regularly toured Northern Ireland during The Troubles.
"I loved Charley's music from my earliest memory," Daniel O'Donnell told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"I was lucky enough then to get to know him when I started singing myself. He was a lovely man."
