As 2020 is nearing to an end, it is taking many leading celebrities with it. According to one of the leading daily, Johnny Nash, singer-songwriter, actor and producer has sorrowfully died at the age of 80. The sad news was approved by his son Johnny Nash Jr. as he revealed to a leading daily that his father had been in failing health and died of natural causes at home in Houston, his birthplace. Many will know Nash as the creator and performer of the 1972 classic tune 'I Can See Clearly Now.'

The single earned Johnny a No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100. The song became even more popular, thanks to hit covers by iconic singers like Ray Charles, Lee Towers, Donny Osmond as well as Jimmy Cliff's epic version for 1993 film Cool Runnings. I Can See Clearly Now, which was reportedly written by the late singer while recovering from cataract surgery, was about overcoming hard times with the promise of a "bright, bright sunshiny day."

It's interesting to note that Nash was amongst the first artists to bring reggae to US audiences with hits like Hold Me Tight and You Got Soul. Nash had signed up Bob Marley and the Wailers (Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) to his record label JAD Records which was in partnership with his manager Danny Sims. They recorded Reggae On Broadway and several dozen songs for JAD. It was Johnny who brought along Marley to London in the early 1970s when the former was a bigger star internationally.
