Johnny Nash R.I.P.

Johnny Nash has passed away age 80.

During my Skinhead period in the late 60's early 70's i was a big Reggae music follower. Johnny Nash picked up the genre and made some fine songs.

There was a thread on ATS a few weeks ago, about misheard song lyrics. Johnny's song " I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Has Gone " i thought actually went " I Can See Deidre Now Lorraine Has Gone "



R.I.P Johnny your music will be remembered.

Myself and the Missus just had a good belly-laugh over that, cheers!

RIP Johnny!

Great voice rip

Johnny was a Houston boy, like me. He succeeded in switching to reggae after moving to Jamaica at age 25.
