Sorry to add a third

I always liked his work. A version of "I can see clearly" running through my mind has a distinct reggae accordion. Should be an interesting jam session when he joins the other recently departed, Eddie Van Halen and Keiran Halpin.

Rest in peace Mr Nash and condolences to his close ones.

And Bill Withers who passed away on 30 March this year.

When I think of I Can See Clearly Now (either the Jimmy Cliff or the Johnny Nash version), I usually also think of Lean on Me, and Ain't No Sunshine so I reckon that Johnny Nash and Bill Withers will be jamming together up there.

We had "I can see clearly now" as exit music at the funeral of an old friend. Most appropriate and thoughtful.
RIP Mr. Nash

Oh, the nostalgia! I recall
seeing him on a television variety show,
singing a song about his "merry-go-round."

RIP.
