CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

NPR reports:

Johnny Nash, a singer who scored a No. 1 hit with “I Can See Clearly Now” in 1972, has died. He was 80 years old. His son, Johnny Nash Jr., confirmed his death to The Associated Press, saying his father had died of natural causes at his home in Houston.

Along with his own pop career, Nash had a surprising hand in the development of reggae. As one of the owners of the JAD Records label, he signed Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer to an exclusive deal early in their careers.
