Charley Pride has been a country music sensation for decades. Over the course of his 50+ year career he has released dozens of hit songs, and won his way into the hearts of countless fans.
While Charley’s music has been a constant in the lives of his fans for over half a century, there’s been one constant in his life for even longer: his wife Rozene. The two recently celebrated their 59th anniversary!
Charley’s first dream was to make it big in baseball. He wanted to become a professional, and in 1952 it seemed he was well on the way to that goal when he started pitching for the Memphis Red Sox.
His work with the Red Sox opened doors for him all over the country, and he spent several years playing baseball with many different teams. This was all before Rozene, who changed everything when she stepped into his life.
Rozene was a cosmetologist from Mississippi, and it was love at first sight for the couple. They married in 1956. While Charley continued his baseball career for a little while, it wasn’t long until the team manager of East Helena noticed his incredible singing voice.
Charley started singing before ball games, and from there the rest is history. It’s wonderful to see such a popular musician stay faithful to his bride after so many years.
