OLDIES MUSIC

Country

At 86, Charley Pride stepped onto the CMA Awards stage for what would become his final performance — and sang the song that helped change country music forever. On November 11, 2020, he appeared at the CMA Awards to receive a Lifetime Achievement honor. But then he gave the audience something even more memorable: he sang “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’,” the signature hit that turned a sharecropper’s son from Mississippi into the first Black superstar in the history of country music. He admitted he was nervous. His voice may not have carried the same strength it once did, but its warmth remained unmistakable. In every note, there was the quiet power of a man who had spent five decades breaking barriers with grace, dignity, and extraordinary talent. Just 31 days later, Charley Pride was gone. He died of COVID-19 at the age of 86. That night on the CMA stage became the last time he ever sang in public.
