Texas born actor, singer, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur, Johnny Nash (1940-2020) was a driven visionary that, undaunted by commercial challenges in the U.S. marketplace, relocated to Jamaica, founded JAD Records, discovered and signed Bob Marley, and helped grow Reggae's popularity around the world - first by covering Marley's "Stir It Up," then, by writing and recording this inspiring ode to survival and hope.
And, let's not forget that he was also the voice of the theme song to the mid-'60s cartoon show "The Mighty Hercules!"
Bill and Rich had fun uncovering and relishing this great artist's story of ingenuity and grit. We hope you'll enjoy it, too!
