Johnny Nash – I can See Clearly Now -Dies 80
Written by Beres on 07/10/2020
Reggae Star Johnny Nash has passed away at the age of 80. As a young man I was inspired by his songs “Hold me tight” & “Cupid”. Of course he had many hits and the albums I own had many more. I had fallen into the idea that he was Jamaican but reading an album of his when I bought it said Memphis Tennessee. I bought the album for a song called “why did you do it” which was a hit tune for me in the Rare Groove Era that hit the UK in the 80`s. All his songs were played by me because the “Shady Grove ” Tottenham was my residency and oldies was the music of choice at that club. Once again another black music Icon reaches the gates of Zion RIEP Johnny Nash
