Singer Johnny Nash Dead At 80, U.S. Media Report

A representative for Nash, who largely dropped out of the spotlight in the late 1980s, could not be reached immediately for comment.

“He was a wonderful father and family man. He loved people and the world. He will be missed within his community. Family was his everything,” Nash’s son told TMZ.

His son told the CBSLA television station that Nash died at his home.

“I Can See Clearly Now,” released in 1972, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks, and became a hit in Canada, the UK and South Africa.
