Good Lord, this year is like heel on wheels.

We all know him for his music but interestingly enough, I guess he was a pretty decent pitcher when he was young. Played in the Negro Leagues and kicked around in the minors but never was able to make the majors.

Everybody liked him, so it's said, and that says a lot for the time he lived in and the business he was in. My condolences to his Family, Friends and the entire Country Music Fan Base

In Memory of Charlie Pride, here is a tune he cut in 1971 called "Kiss An Angel Good Morning".



RIP Charley Frank Pride (March 18, 1934 – December 12, 2020)

Growing up I didn't know anyone who didn't like Charlie Pride.

Just cam on here to post this, what a bummer. I know this is morbid but I was thinking of him literally just a day or two ago and thought he’s gotta be getting close. The guy was an amazing talent and I’m sorry I never got to see one of his shows.

My Fathers side of the family was deeply rooted in older country music{70s and before}so i was turned onto a lot of good music as a child that included Charlie Pride. He was in the Ken Burn's documentary series on Country Music that i found very interesting. RIP.

He was a HUGE Cowboy fan. I have his Dallas Cowboys 45 in my vinyl collection. RIP to a Legend...
