Pride gets CMA lifetime award
Trailblazing country music star Charley Pride will get a lifetime achievement award at the CMA Awards in November.
The rich baritone singer became the genre’s first Black superstar, charting 29 No. 1 hits between the 1960s and 1980s, with songs like “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin’ ” and “Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone.”
Pride, 82, will accept the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award on the CMA Awards on Nov. 11 on ABC.
