RIP Johnny Nash
We lost two great artists yesterday.
Johnny Nash was one of the first to bring the reggae sound to
popular music in America.

RIP.
I’ll openly admit that I owned the Cool Runnings Soundtrack, and that was a gateway to his wider collection.I still call it The Jake.

Wow first Toots, now this. Damn, "I can see clearly now" is a song that never ceases to make me feel better. That was some really good song writing IMHO. I don't know how many hundreds of times I've heard that tune and I just don't tire of it.
Another of the pioneers bringing us plebian white folks the wonderful stylings of reggae gone. A sad day mon.“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”

Holy shit, I missed that too. RIP, Toots.
