One could be forgiven in thinking Johnny Nash was Jamaican. He was actually from Houston and had a couple of minor chart records in the 50’s and 60’s. He was on tour in Jamaica supporting one of those singles and was exposed to the burgeoning local reggae scene. Johnny was the first American artist to have a US hit based on that style. He even helped out a young Bob Marley along the way.
