It seems appropriate to have a discussion page and to say it would be useful to have an article on I Can See Clearly Now. Capitalistroadster 03:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nash was last active as a composer in the Swedish romance Vill så gärna tro (1971) in which he portrayed Robert.

The Mighty Hercules

The Mighty Hercules cartoon series Wikipedia page says that Johnny Nash did not actually sing the theme song. If that is the case, the line stating Nash was the featured vocalist should be removed.

"If that is the case" - indeed. The Mighty Hercules article does not quote any reference(s) for its claims, whilst choosing to discount two usually credible sources. Draw your own conclusions - unless someone can unearth something substantial ?!

If someone knows

Please post.. would like to know what he is doing now. Still touring? Fully retired? etc. Waz (talk) 09:13, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the record label the Cowsills recorded on was "JODA" not "JAD"

Musical style

Might be worth a note saying what musical styles he was playing at various stages in his career. The article makes it sound like he was a purely reggae artist. Anyone know enough to edit? Pollythewasp (talk) 17:13, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
