NEW YORK (AP) Charley Pride, country musics first Black star whose rich baritone on such hits as Kiss an Angel Good Morning helped sell millions of records and helped make him the first Black member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, has died. He was 86.

Pride died Saturday in Dallas of complications from Covid-19, according to Jeremy Westby of the public relations firm 2911 Media.
