The Charley Pride tribute on CMT had some pretty amazing performances by Darius Rucker, Garth Brooks, Luke Combs, George Strait, and more covering the Country Music Hall of Fame member's CMT Giants Tribute.

We count down what we believe was the night's best performances:

5. Mickey Guyton - I'm Just Me

Mickey knocked this one out of the park as she wore a gold and black shimmering dress. The song was released by Charley in June 1971 as the second single and title track from the album I'm Just Me.

4. Wynonna Judd - Just Between You And Me

The newest member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Judd shared her soulful style on this 1966 song.

3. Darius Rucker - Someone Loves You, Honey

Rucker's emotional performance of this Charley classic was a real highlight of the night.

2. George Strait - Is Anybody Going To San Antone?

Who better to cover this Texas classic from Pride than the King of Country Music himself, George Strait.

Luke Combs joined by Robert Randolph & Reyna Roberts - Kiss An Angel Good Morning

The three flawlessly covered Pride's top hit "Kiss An Angel Good Morning."
