LOS ANGELES (Variety.com): Country singer Charley Pride, the first modern Black superstar of country music, has died. He was 86.
Public relations firm 2911 Media confirmed that Pride died on Saturday (Dec 12) in Dallas, Texas, from complications related to Covid-19.
Pride had just been seen by millions on live TV in November as he received a lifetime achievement award from the Country Music Association (CMA) on its annual telecast.
It was on that Nov 11 telecast that he made his final performance, a duet of his classic Kiss an Angel Good Mornin , with Jimmie Allen, a rising Black star in country who expressed his indebtedness to his predecessor.
