Pride died Saturday in Dallas of complications from COVID-19, according to Jeremy Westby of the public relations firm 2911 Media.

Country Charlie Pride as he was called. RIP

Charlie always sang and played guitar since he was very young. But did you know that he was also a professional baseball player ?
He was a pitcher in the black leagues but never made it to the majors, instead he went to Nashville and became the Charlie Pride we all loved.

This song sung by Charlie is not one of his hits (not even one of his songs) but seems fitting at a time like this...

I'll Fly Away
