[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3476352, member: 7900"] He also was an Army veteran and played baseball. 86 when he died. They are saying "covid-related," but I'd venture that underlying health issues probably was the main reason.

He served in the U.S. Army and pursued a baseball career playing in the segregated Negro American League and the minor leagues, and worked at a smelting plant in Montana, where he started to raise a family. Pride started singing while he was still playing baseball, but didn't move to Nashville right away. He signed with RCA in 1965 and in 1967 released "Just Between You and Me," which became his first country music top 10. From there he never looked back, racking up more than 60 all together over the next decade and a half." [/QUOTE]
