Pride performed at venues like Centre In The Square, bringing timeless hits like “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’” and “Crystal Chandeliers” to life for packed audiences who adored him.
As the first Black superstar in country music, Pride shattered industry norms and opened doors for future generations. But in KW, he’ll always be remembered for more than just history—he’s remembered for the warmth, grace, and unforgettable nights he shared with this community.
A true legend—gone, but never forgotten.
