JOHNNY NASH, 80
Died 6 October 2020
Traditional and reggae singer. Had hit in 1972 with "I Can See Clearly Now."
Born in Houston, but one of the first non-Jamaican artists to record reggae in Kingston.
Had some minor hits in 50s and 60s, but two huge hits.
"I Can See Clearly Now" (#1-1972)
"Stir It Up" (#12-1973)
To show you how much I knew about music at one time, Mt dad had gotten two tickets from work to a Johnny Cash/Sonny James show in Chicago. At the time, I thought he said Johnny Nash. At the show, however, Johnny Cash signed my Sonny James album after making a comment.
