Johnny Nash, the legendary musician, best known for his 1972 hit single I Can See Clearly Now, had been in declining health for some time and died of natural causes at his home in Houston, Texas on Tuesday.


His son Johnny Nash Jr confirmed the devastating news. Tributes poured in for Nash on social media with actor John Cusack tweeting: ‘Thank you Mr Nash – for all the love in your music – and for letting us use your great song.’

Johnny History


Nash began his music career in the 1950s and was co-running a record label the following decade. The pop and reggae singer is widely credited with being one of the first people to introduce his friend and late reggae icon Bob Marley to American audiences.

So, in the early 70s, Nash saw his major breakout with I Can See Clearly Now, which is one of the most recognisable songs in recent history.

However, the uplifting track has been covered by a range of musicians over the years. Including Ray Charles, Donny Osmond and Jimmy Cliff, whose version featured in the 1993 comedy Cool Runnings. It also made an appearance in Thelma and Louise.
