He also had a successful baseball career.

Later that season, while in the Negro leagues with the Louisville Clippers, two players – Pride and Jesse Mitchell – were traded to the Birmingham Black Barons for a team bus.
"Jesse and I may have the distinction of being the only players in history to be traded for a used motor vehicle," Pride mused in his 1994 autobiography.

Stress can be a bitch to your body. Marijuana decreases stress levels. That old bastard might live to 100.

Great artist, but a better human being. For many years, he would donate his time as the performer at the fundraiser the night before the Tom Henke golf tournament here in Mo. Not sure which Charley enjoyed more music, golf, or baseball? Was incredibly generous with everyone that he met & was as happy as a pig in shite spending the afternoon golfing & talking baseball w/ Whitey Herzog. Here’s a little testament to his character in a recent interview with STL. Dispatch...
quote:
They used to ask me how it feels to be the `first colored country singer,‘” he told The Dallas Morning News in 1992. “Then it was `first Negro country singer;’ then `first black country singer.' Now I’m the `first African-American country singer.' That’s about the only thing that’s changed. This country is so race-conscious, so ate-up with colors and pigments. I call it `skin hangups’ — it’s a disease.” Pride was raised in Sledge, Mississippi, the son of a sharecropper. He had seven brothers and three sisters. In 2008 while accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award as part of the Mississippi Governor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts, Pride said he never focused on race. “My older sister one time said, ‘Why are you singing THEIR music?’” Pride said. “But we all understand what the y’all-and-us-syndrome has been. See, I never as an individual accepted that, and I truly believe that’s why I am where I am today.”
