Description:
Dickie Pride (born Richard Charles Kneller; 21 October 1941 – 26 March 1969) was an English singer. He was one of Larry Parnes' stable of pop music stars, who didn't achieve the same successful career as some of his contemporaries.
On 26 March 1969, Pride's sister found him dead in his bed. He died at the age of 27, from an accidental overdose of sleeping pills. His death received little, or no publicity. He became part of the 27 Club, among many notable people who died at the same age. Fellow Parnes artists such as Billy Fury, Joe Brown and Georgie Fame stated that Pride had been the most talented singer on Parnes' roster.
