Over the years, the Pride family welcomed two musically-inclined sons, reggae artist Kraig (known professionally as Carlton) (born Jul 6, 1957) and country crooner Dion (Mar 23, 1962), and a daughter named Angela (Apr 18, 1965).
The Pride family has called Dallas home for decades. They raised their children there, and Pride revisited an old passion of his by becoming part-owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team.
“I grew up in a segregated society, and I didn’t want to subject my three kids to that,” Pride told the Dallas Morning News in 2017. “We picked out what we thought was the best place for the kids and also for traveling around the world, and you couldn’t find a better place for that than Dallas.”
Although Pride didn’t write signature country hit “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’,” its tale of unquenchable romance applies to the home life of one of the best love song interpreters to ever get the Nashville’s stamp of approval.
