John Lester Nash Jr. was an American singer-songwriter, best known in the United States for his 1972 hit “I Can See Clearly Now”.Primarily a reggae and pop singer, he was one of the first non-Jamaican artists to record reggae music in Kingston.
Nash found his groove in Jamaica and recorded his biggest hits “I Can See Clearly Now” and “Stir It Up” with the reggae influence he picked up from local musicians like Bob Marley. Nash signed Marley and his group, The Wailers, but Marley would have his first taste of success outside of Jamaica when Nash included a cover of Marley’s “Stir It Up” on his own 1972 album I Can See Clearly Now
We all have someone who influence us, these are his “There are three artists who’ve really influenced me in my singing career,” Nash told Melody Maker in 1969. “They are the late Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin and Harry Belafonte. They all have something I wish I had.”
Hold Me Tight” is a song written and performed by Johnny Nash. It was featured on his 1968 album Hold Me Tight,
I don’t want to hear it,
No more fussin’ and fightin’ baby,
Hold me tight.
Let’s let bygones be bygones,
Let’s think about tomorrow girl,
Our future’s bright.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
And everything’s gonna be all right,
Baby, hold me tight.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
And everything’s gonna be all right,
Baby, hold me tight.
