Country music legend Charley Pride died Saturday in Dallas from COVID-19 complications, according to his publicist.
He was 86 years old.
Born in Sledge, Mississippi, Pride became country music’s first Black superstar and the first Black member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
“No person of color had ever done what he has done,” said Darius Rucker in the PBS American Masters film "Charley Pride: I’m Just Me."
Pride had 52 Top 10 country hits -- including “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin’,” “Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone,” and “Mountain of Love."
He won the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year award in 1971, the CMA's top male vocalist in 1971 and 1972, and a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020.
His final performance came on Nov. 11 when he sang “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin’” during the CMA Awards in Nashville.
