charley pride

Jimmie Allen mourned the loss of his hero, mentor and friend Charley Pride in a video tribute.

That songwriter Ben Peters’ tune about how much he loved his newborn daughter became Pride’s signature song is an intriguing story with many layers.

Brooks and Pride recorded a song together in September.

I don't claim to be the world's greatest Charley Pride fan. I never have. But I've come to recognize and understand there was a reason he was known as 'The Pride Of Country Music'. Charley first came to national attention in the mid to late 1960s and scored hit the first Number One hit in 1969 with All I Have To Offer You (Is Me)...

He called his friend "one of the finest people I know."

Statements from both the singer's representatives and the Country Music Association offer further details on when Pride contracted COVID-19.

She called him "one of my dearest and oldest friends."

The singer died of complications of COVID-19 in December 2020.

Rest in peace, Charley ...

Pride, who less than a month ago accepted the lifetime achievement award at the CMA awards and even performed at the show, was pronounced dead today, due to complications from COVID- 19.
