Charlie Pride
Charlie Frank Pride
Born in Sledge, Mississippi,
on March 18, 1938.
I got to see Charlie Pride in Concert in Tulsa Oklahoma. I'll never forget that concert. I was a teenager at the time and I just loved "Kiss An Angel Good Morning". He had already sang several songs and then the first few bars of that song started and I recognized it immediately and began to clap my hands. Unfortunately, no one else was clapping yet so I stood out like a sore thumb. LOL. The worst (and best) part was that Charlie turned and looked right at me. I did my best to keep quiet through the rest of the show.
According to Margaret Jones, author of a Patsy Cline biography, there are a dozen places in Virginia that could claim to be the hometown of the nomadic Cline. Her family moved 19 times before she was 15.
