6 comments so far (post your own)I too am surprised there's hardly any comments on this guy! I can't really say this guy was influential, but he helped bring reggae into the mainstream (even before Bob Marley). Not bad for a non-Jamaican. I sort of parallel his career with Bill Withers in terms of chart success. It is very easy to forget that Nash has recorded since the 1950s. Posted by Jason Voigt on Saturday, 07/11/2015 @ 11:45am |

WHY THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME NEEDS TEXAN JOHNNY NASH Posted by Roy on Thursday, 12/30/2021 @ 16:15pm |
Johnny Nash definitely should have been inducted while he was alive but since that is impossible let's go with the possible. I can't believe Percy Sledge has no trouble getting elected . Nothing against him but he was basically a one hit wonder, whereas Johnny had 3 top ten hits and was one of the major influences in bringing reggae music to American audiences. He signed Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh to a producers contract of $50(J) a week. Johnny was a giant influence. Plus, he had one of the sweetest voices of all time.
