Sounds like he’d had a real tough time for the last ten years or so. Wretched way to go. RIP Eddie

Very sad.

Not prog rock, but sadly Johnny Nash has also passed away.

A good piece on Johnny Nash here. I must admit, I knew little of him apart from The Song, so there were a few surprises. Starting with him being a native of Houston, Texas.

The single which preceded "I Can See Clearly Now".

His version of Bob Marley’s Stir it up is great. He was a friend and early supporter of BMW

Learned from the best when he moved to Jamaica. I loved his interpretation of songs.

As I posted on the SSS thread I hadn’t grasped what a splendid voice he had. Like all the good singers he made it sound so easy
