Sadly, Pride became one of nearly 300,000 Americans killed by COVID-19, as the raging pandemic continues to take a tragic toll in the U.S. and around the world.
Born in 1934 into a sharecropper family of 11 children in the delta town of Sledge, Miss., Charley Frank Pride played baseball in the early 1950s for the Memphis Red Sox and the Birmingham Black Barons in the Negro American League until being drafted into the Army in 1956. He was unsuccessful in his attempt to join Major League Baseball after his military service.

It was really weird without an audience, but we had fun because I hadn t seen everybody in a long time. The last actual concert that we did was in February. Robinson filmed the performance in early October.
