The Country Soul Legend Charley Pride Passes Away Due To
Covid-19 Complications
Country legend Charley Pride — a pioneer for Black musicians in country music — died on Saturday in Dallas, Texas, at the age of 86 due to complications from COVID-19, a statement on his website confirmed.
With top hits including “Kiss an Angel Good Morning” and “Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone,” Pride became the first Black member of the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000.
He was born in Mississippi in 1934 as the son of a sharecropper. After a brief time serving in the Army and some unsuccessful attempts at becoming a professional baseball player, Pride headed to Nashville in 1963.
He recorded songs immediately but it wasn’t until Pride’s manager, Jack Johnson, met with late producer Jack Clement that Pride’s career took off. Clement offered songs for Pride to learn and in 1965, RCA Record's Chet Atkins signed him to a recording contract.
Pride quit his day job as a smelter when his 1967 recording of Clement’s “Just Between You and Me” broke into country’s top ten — and the rest is history.
Just within a span of a week, country music fans were sadden to hear "The Gambler" Kenny Rogers had passed at the age of 81.
Kenny's soulful sound and powerful country ballads set the benchmark for scores of country artists who followed him. One of Kenny Rogers greatest hits was Lady written by country soul artist the great Lionel Richie. Kenny Rogers sold millions of records worldwide and his fans will always be there to cherish this great artist and all that he did for the music industry.
​
Kenny....do expect they will want an encore performance even in heaven!
