Dennis Quaid to Produce Film About Country Legend Charley Pride’s Life
December 14, 2020
Country music has lost one of its greatest stars in Charley Pride, who passed away at age 86 from COVID-19. Pride shot to fame amid the racial unrest of the 1960s, and went on to reach No. 1 on the country music charts 29 times. He became the first Black member ever inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. “He was like the Jackie Robinson of country music,” says actor and musician Dennis Quaid, who is producing a feature film about Pride’s life.
