What a beautiful voice and great song. RIP.
Johnny Nash, the singer, songwriter and producer best known for the legendary hit “I Can See Clearly Now” has died at the age of 80. Nash’s son, Johnny Nash Jr. confirmed he died of natural causes in his home in Houston on Tuesday.
Born John Lester Nash Jr. on August 19, 1940, in Houston’s historic Third Ward neighborhood, Nash became one of the first non-Jamaican singers to record reggae music in Kingston, Jamaica. Nash also helped launch the career of his friend Bob Marley.
As a teenager in the 1950s, Nash gained notoriety when he covered the popular song, “Darn That Dream.” “I Can See Clearly Now” topped the charts in 1972 when Nash was 30 years old. In the late ’60s and ’70s, he also scored hits such as “You Got Soul” and “Hold Me Tight.”
