The Man from Sledge: Mississippi legend Charley Pride

Published

1 year ago

on

From baseball to country music, Mississippi-native Charley Pride, a man of humble beginnings, left a big mark on the world.

I stare at the blank document on my computer, waiting for the words to flow. While I wait, Charley Pride is singing in the background—I need some inspiration. Kiss an Angel Good Morning is the current song, and I find myself singing along with this familiar piece instead of typing. YouTube videos provide many of his number-one hits. They document his performances at county fairs, on The Marty Stuart Show, a duet with Johnny Cash, live concerts, and more.

When was the first time you heard Charley Pride sing? Was it from a record or in person? Did you find yourself being drawn in to listen to his rich, baritone voice?

What came from my throat was my voice, no one else’s. No one had ever told me that whites were supposed to sing one kind of music and blacks another—I sang what I liked in the voice I had.

Excerpt from Pride: The Charley Pride Story

Mississippi Origins

Charley, the fourth of eleven children, was born on March 18, 1934, to Fowler MacArthur Pride and Tessie B. Stewart Pride. His father named him Charl, but his name became Charley Frank Pride when the midwife completed the birth certificate and the name remained with him throughout his life.

His parents were sharecroppers and cotton pickers. Their portion of land was located approximately 50 miles south of Memphis, in the northwest corner of Mississippi, near Sledge. The love for country music originated with Fowler Pride. When Charley was young, his father purchased a Philco radio for the family. They enjoyed listening to the WSM-AM broadcasts from the Grand Ole Opry. He grew to love country music along with Gospel and the blues.

Charley purchased his first guitar for ten dollars, a Silvertone, from the Sears Roebuck catalog at age fourteen. Guitar lessons came from listening to the music he heard on the radio and practicing. His teachers were his radio heroes: Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, and Hank Williams.  But music wasn’t Charley’s only talent.

Barriers and Bridges in Baseball

Two years later, Charley left his family to play baseball in the Iowa State League and then professionally with the Negro American League as a pitcher. In 1953, Charley signed a contract with the Boise Yankees, a Class C farm team associated with the New York Yankees. A shoulder injury hampered his pitching ability.

Pride moved around with several teams: the El Paso Kings and the Yaquis in Nogales, Mexico, before rejoining the Memphis Red Sox in 1956. He won 14 games as a pitcher, which brought him into a position with the Negro American League All-Star Team. While playing on the team, he had the opportunity to play against a group of major-league players called the Willie Mays All-Stars, facing off in the field against Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. Eventually, after playing in several exhibition games, Charley brought home a significant victory for the Negro League all-stars. In four innings, Charley delivered a shutout ballgame, a major upset.

Towards the end of 1956, Pride was drafted by the U.S. Army. He had basic training at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, then assigned to Fort Carson, Colorado. And he continued to play baseball in the “All Army” sports. The team in 1957 consisted of men who would play professionally, Willie Kirkland, George Altman, and Eddie Kopacz. Pride also continued singing.

There were times when he was asked to sing at the officer’s club, an unusual request for a black man at that point in time.

His baseball idol, Jackie Robinson, broke the color barrier in baseball in 1947 when he played in the Major Leagues. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum website quotes Pride: “To say that he was my idol would be an understatement. As far as I was concerned, Jackie Robinson had rewritten the future.”

As a player and then as a singer, Charley often sang the National Anthem for baseball games. In 2010, he became part-owner of the Texas Rangers. He enjoyed being a participant at their training camps in Port Charlotte and Pompano Beach, Florida, and Surprise, Arizona, working out with the team and hosting an annual concert at the clubhouse for the staff and players. After his death the team’s training complex in Surprise, Arizona was renamed “Charley Pride Field.”

Montana to Nashville

Charley met Rozene Cohran when he was playing baseball in Memphis. They married in 1956 and later had three children: Kraig, Dion, and Angela. He received his discharge from the Army in 1958, and it was back to the Memphis Red Sox. Pride had a passion for playing baseball. And he continued to find ways to play until he turned to a full-time music career.

Charley and Rozene made the transition in 1960 to Helena, Montana where he worked for the Anaconda Mining Company. Charley continued playing baseball for the East Helena Smelterites, a semi-pro baseball team.

An invitation came to try out for the Los Angeles Angels in 1961. The tryouts didn’t go well – after two weeks, he returned to Montana to continue work at the smelter. Charley took advantage of opportunities to play his guitar and sing at churches, nightclubs, honky-tonks, and perform the national anthem at the baseball games.

A local disc jockey, Tiny Stokes, introduced Charley to country music singers Red Sovine and Red Foley. For one of their shows, they asked him to sing Lovesick Blues and Heartaches by the Number. The foundation was being laid for Charley Pride’s music career.

Another opportunity for an audition in Florida with the New York Mets came in 1963. After a disappointing tryout, Charley was on a bus to Tennessee, a slight detour on his way back to Montana. Red Sovine had told him when he was ready to pursue a singing career to stop by Cedarwood Publishing, a company that booked Sovine’s shows. While Charley was visiting Red, he had the opportunity to meet Jack Johnson—a man who was on a mission—to find a promising black country music singer. Charley recorded a couple of songs before heading back to Montana. 

It would be 1965 before any significant progress was made. Charley and Rozene returned to Nashville. Soon Charley met “Cowboy” Jack Clement through Jack Johnson. At his request, Charley recorded two songs, The Snakes Crawl at Night and Atlantic Coastal Line. The recordings were sent to the people in Nashville, but the response they hoped for did not come.

A connection with Chet Atkins, a guitarist who was moving up the ladder with RCA records, was a turning point for Pride. Atkins not only encouraged and backed him but signed him with the RCA label. “Atkins took Charley under his wing, nurtured his talent, and spearheaded a shrewd promotional campaign that addressed the racial challenges of mid-1960s America.”

Charley Pride’s records caught hold in the country music world in 1967. From that year through 1987, record sales worldwide ranged in the tens of millions. He had 30 number one hits and 52 Top 10 Billboard singles. His many accolades include the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star received in 1999 and three GRAMMY awards and a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000. The years of listening to the Grand Ole Opry show came full circle. In 1993, Charley Pride was the first African American to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. He was also a businessman who invested in real estate and created an artist booking and management company called Chardon.

Mississippi Honors Pride

Pride’s first public concert in Mississippi was in May 1971 – a sold-out show at Delta State University. On March 29, 2011, the small town of Sledge and the state of Mississippi established a road marker, making it a part of the Mississippi Country Music Trail—established in 2009. The recognition of Charley Pride at age 73 also included renaming a portion of Highway 3 from Sledge to Tutwiler, now known as the Charley Pride Highway.

According to an article in the April 2011 issue of Taste of Country, Pride said, “I am completely honored and humbled by this recognition. It’s a wonderful feeling. Who’d have thought that a kid who walked four miles to school and back every day would ever get such a tribute?”

People around the world continue to enjoy his music. For Mississippians, we take pride in knowing that Charley Pride’s humble beginnings and love for country music started here. The song Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town (1974, written by Harold Dorman and George Gann) reflects his upbringing in Sledge.

Charley Pride died on December 12, 2020, from complications due to COVID-19. He was 86 years old.

Staring mortality in the face at Christmas

Published

My friend Jarrod is dying after an eight year battle with cancer. He’s lived a life worth celebrating, one that has drawn people to Christ.

I was going about my business this week when I received a text that stopped me in my tracks. A college friend was being moved to hospice care.

Jarrod Egley was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in early 2017. In the fall of 2018, tests revealed the cancer had spread to his lungs and Jarrod’s cancer was classified as Stage IV.

For almost eight years from the date of the original diagnosis, he’s fought. Through surgeries, radiation, endless rounds and cycles of chemotherapy, and experimental immunotherapies, he’s fought.

Last year, I flew out to California and spent some time with Jarrod and his wife, Emily. We sat outside one night. He acknowledged to me that it was not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’ the cancer would claim his life. I told him I was sorry, because what else is there to say?

We talked about our faith, about the trials of Job, about Jacob wrestling with God, about Paul’s affliction. But mostly we reflected on our time together in school, on the good things, and the mundane things, that happened since.

Jarrod and I met at Tulane University. One Sunday morning in the Spring of my freshman year, I rose from my dorm room bed, dressed, and began walking down Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans with no particular agenda. I walked until I came across First Baptist Church and the thought flickered in the vacuous recesses of my brain to enter.

Some would say it was a lark. The Calvinist in me says providence. The walk that morning changed the trajectory of my time at Tulane and my life on the whole. Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Baptist Collegiate Ministry became central to my life and put me in regular league with Jarrod. I met him first at the BCM and we ultimately ended up attending church together.

Jarrod was a faithful servant on and off campus. He helped organize a group of us that would weekly make our way down to the Esplanade seawall on the backside of the French Quarter to feed the homeless. On Friday nights, he could be found at chapel with a small cadre of students foregoing Bourbon Street for early 2000s worship music.

Jarrod was a loyal friend in those years. Never rude or biting. Not prone to an insult for an easy laugh. Persistently encouraging. An engineering student, his mind worked linearly and was oriented to problem solving. There were never a lot of wasted words — always a lot of deliberative questions when he disagreed or did not understand a point. He exhibited intelligence, empathy, and the kind of moral conviction that sets someone apart.

He also had a wry and dry sense of humor and a penchant for beating people at Madden football. He was fair-to-midland on the ultimate frisbee pitch. Along the way, there were crawfish boils, Mardi Gras outtings, poorly attended Tulane football games, and more than a decent amount of wing eating.

After college, I lost touch with Jarrod. He moved back to his home state of California. He got married to his college sweetheart, who could not have anticipated her husband’s journey, but has been a steady and constant helpmate throughout. Jarrod became a very successful engineer and a bourbon connoisseur. One of his bucket list trips took him to Kentucky, where he got to meet and became friends with bourbon “Hall of Famer” Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace acclaim.

Jarrod at Buffalo Trace Distillery (Spring 2022).

Sitting in his backyard nearly 20 years after graduating from Tulane, I saw many of the same qualities I had grown to admire when we were students together. I saw a husband who doted on and supported Emily’s passions. But I also saw someone whose body had been beaten to hell and back, who was tired, and who, like Jacob, had been wrestling with God. We quickly fell back into friendship, which perhaps is the mark of good friendship.

We all have aspirations in our youth — for the kind of spouse or parent we might be, for what we might accomplish, for what we might experience. Along the way, dreams are satisfied, modified, or they die on the vine. The clock inevitably works against all of us. That night in Oceanside, California, Jarrod, a numbers guy, saw that time was not on his side. He believed, as we all would, that he still had more to give, more impact to be made, and more things to see and experience.

After that trip, Jarrod and I stayed in touch, most frequently triggered by news of his cancer. It has been mostly the bad variety in recent months. Now spread throughout his body, down to his bones, he has lived in constant pain for months. Not even a steady diet of morphine and an implanted pain pump solve for it. Jarrod’s been hospitalized twelve times just in 2023.

But his matter of fact sense of humor and way of seeing the world remains in tact. So too does his faith that despite these trials, he has always been safe in the hands of Christ.

There are people in the world who believe that life is random, disordered, and without reason. I am not among them. I think my friend is staring mortality in the face at Christmas for a reason.

For thousands of years before Christ came, there was darkness and despair. Sin and shame gripped the hearts of men. Until one holy night, God, in His infinite love, mercy and wisdom, sent His son to save. Jesus is the light of the world and the hope of man. He has won victory over death and Jarrod’s will not be the exception. Jesus came for Jarrod, and for you.

For thousands of years since Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, His disciples have been used as divine instruments to point the way to God. Jarrod is among them. If life expectancies were the measure, Jarrod would be at the midway point for most people. He’s made a lifetime of impact for the Kingdom and on other people.

So, to my friend Jarrod, you were placed here with a purpose. You have run your race. You are loved. And when this chapter closes, you will hear “well done, my good and faithful servant.” There is no greater evidence of a life well lived.

While Jarrod and Emily have been fortunate to have health insurance, their portion of the medical bills so far in 2023 have eclipsed $30,000, and Emily is facing additional uncovered expenses during Jarrod’s hospice care, including a night nurse that costs over $400 a night. If you would like to help defray the cost, a contribution can be made at their Go Fund Me page.

2. Gulfport-Biloxi airport, Stennis evacuated after threats

The Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport was evacuated on Thursday morning “out of an abundance of caution,” airport officials said, after receiving an emailed threat to certain transportation entities across the state.

The airport was thoroughly security swept, cleared and reopened in just over two hours. Gulfport-Biloxi is now operating regularly.

The threat was also sent to Stennis International Airport. Their staff and personnel were also evacuated until the facilities could be swept and cleared.

Any passenger whose travel was affected by the evacuation is encouraged to contact their respective air carrier.

3. Cassidy arrested in Iowa for beheading Satanic Temple statue

Former Mississippi congressional and legislative candidate Michael Cassidy was arrested this week in Iowa for beheading a statue at the state’s Capitol erected by The Satanic Temple.

Cassidy reportedly decapitated the statue and turned himself to police on Thursday. He was charged with fourth degree criminal mischief. He then started an online legal defense fund where he’s raised upwards of $20,000 as of Thursday night, according to his X account.

4. “Serial fraudster” ordered to cease offering investments into companies

According to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office, on October 26, 2023, Secretary Michael Watson and the Securities Division issued an order against Stephone N. Patton. The SOS says Patton is a serial fraudster with multiple criminal convictions in Mississippi and Florida.

Through business filings with the SEC and Mississippi, Patton has held himself to be the CEO of various companies, including Star Oil and Gas Company, Inc., North Gulf Energy Corporation, Inc., Patton Oilfield Services, Inc., and Patton Farms, LLC.

The SOS says using these business filings and company websites, Patton claimed to have raised hundreds of billions of dollars through investment opportunities. Through investigative efforts and collaboration with the SEC, the SOS discovered none of Patton’s companies are operational, have any assets, or generate any revenues. Account records show Patton spent investors’ funds almost as soon as he received them on personal expenses. The total amount of known investments made to Patton’s fraudulent companies is over $80,000. Further, none of Patton’s investment offerings have been registered or notice filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office.

The SOS order requires Patton to cease and desist from offering investments with his companies, requiring Patton to permanently deactivate his companies’ websites to prevent any further dissemination of his false or misleading information. Patton is also ordered to pay an administrative penalty of $25,000 to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office for these violations, in addition to restitution owed to all his Mississippi investors.

National News & Foreign Policy

1. Congressional retirements mounting as 2024 election cycle nears

Retirement and departure announcements are piling up ahead of the start to the 2024 election cycle. The New York Times has developed a Retirement Tracker that currently shows 22 Democrats and 11 Republicans who are in Congress now will not be seeking re-election next year.

“Dozens of members of Congress have announced plans to leave their seats in the House of Representatives, setting a rapid pace for congressional departures, with more expected as the 2024 election draws closer,” the NY Times reports. “Given Republicans’ razor-thin House majority, the wave of exits has the potential to lead to a significant shake-up next year.”

You can find the tracker here.

2. Texas, Daily Wire, The Federalist sue U.S. State Department over media censorship

The U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center has come under fire as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton along with The Daily Wire and The Federalist have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the department funded technology that could “render disfavored press outlets unprofitable.” They claim that the department has helped social media – Facebook, YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) – to censor free speech while funding technologies used to censor right-leaning news outlets such as theirs.

New Civil Liberties Alliance is representing The Daily Wire and The Federalist. Paxton and the outlets claim the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British think tank, received a $100,000 grant from the State Department in 2021, and NewsGuard, which rates the “misinformation” levels of news outlets, received $25,000 from the State Department in 2020, according to the lawsuit.

According to the State Department’s website, the Global Engagement Center’s mission is to direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.

As reported by Reuters, the lawsuit cited a GDI-produced list from December 2022 that ranked The Daily Wire and The Federalist as among the 10 “riskiest sites” for news while the least-risky included The New York Times, Associated Press and NPR. Reuters notes that the lawsuit alleges such “blacklists” are reducing revenues to The Daily Wire and The Federalist along with their visibility on social media and ranking results from browser searches.

New water rates expected in Jackson come 2024; those who don’t pay face shut off

Published

December 15, 2023

By

Interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin said this week that only about 59% of the City of Jackson’s water customers are paying their bills.

JXN Water has announced new rates and fees coming in 2024. Those who are not paying will be at risk of shut offs.

The company, which was established by federal appointed interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin, has been overseeing the city’s water system for the better part of a year.

Officials estimated that the average cost for water in the city was $76 per month for residents. Henifin clarified that JXN water will not attempt to recoup any charges prior to November 29, 2022, and will work with those who have failed to pay since that time.

He said only about 59 percent of the city’s water customers are paying their bills.

“You can’t forgive bills, so we have to be creative in how we part that,” said Henifin in reference to Mississippi’s laws that prevent giving away water.

According to a release by JXN Water announcing the rate changes, residents in single family households with small meters that use up to 748 gallons daily would see a bill increase of roughly .30 cents per day. Research indicates that the average U.S. family uses 300 gallons per day.

SNAP customers will have a new rate tier that could lower their bill by up to .69 cents per day, on average.

“Those who need to save the most benefit from saving money by drinking tap water. This new rate structure makes water affordability possible for 12,500 JXN Water customers who receive SNAP benefits,” said Henifin in the release.

Read more about the anticipated rate changes here.

New fees will also be implemented, including a new service fee of $50, service deposit of $100, returned check fee of $25, service restoration fee of $100, and meter tampering charge of $500. 

JXN Water has continued to encourage residents to use the water, with Henifin going on the record in a federal status hearing saying that the water “was safe to drink.”

More conversation regarding the billing process is expected to come at next week’s Jackson City Council meeting.
