Johnny Nash

Johnny Nash was an American singer-songwriter from Houston, Texas who began recording in the 1950s and achieved his greatest success blending pop with reggae influences. His 1972 self-penned hit "I Can See Clearly Now" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and became his signature song, selling over one million copies. Nash had a close musical relationship with Bob Marley, recording Marley's "Stir It Up" and helping introduce reggae to mainstream American audiences in the early 1970s.
