Yes  saw this this morning . The oldest sister In law worked with him back in the 80's ,if she wasn't as mad as a box of frogs she might have remembered .

On a brighter note he is in the que  outside the gates with Eddie Van Halen . Now that's one jamming session I wouldn't mind hearing

American reggae and pop singer-songwriter Johnny Nash, best known for the 1972 hit I Can See Clearly Now, has died aged 80, his family has said.

Nash, whose health had been in decline, died at his home of natural causes on Tuesday, his son told US media.

The musician began singing as a child and made his major label debut with the 1957 song A Teenager Sings the Blues.

Nash, born in Houston, was one of the first non-Jamaican singers to record reggae music in Kingston, Jamaica.

His single I Can See Clearly Now sold more than a million copies and reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972, where it remained for four weeks.
