Rest in Power Charley Pride

Charley Pride was an American singer, musician, guitarist, and professional baseball player. His greatest musical success came in the early to mid-1970s. Pride released what would become his biggest hit, 'Kiss an Angel Good Mornin.' He is only one of three African American's to become a member of the Grand Ol Opry. I can't imagine what it was like for him to succeed in the country music industry in the 60s and 70s.


I came to know Pride through my father who loves the country music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. He was on a pretty consistent rotation in my tape deck along with Randy Travis, Johnny Cash, George Jones, and John Anderson. Other than Kiss an Angel Good Morning' I also was fond of his 'Kaw-liga, ' 'Does My Ring Hurt Your Finger' and 'I Can't Believe That You've Stopped Loving Me.'




He died from complications from COVID-19. May his family find peace.
