The singer-songwriter, who was perhaps best known for the 1972 track "I Can See Clearly Now," died on Oct. 6 at his home in Houston, Texas, his son told CBS Los Angeles. Nash's cause of death was not immediately made public. He was 80 years old.
"I Can See Clearly Now" was a chart-topper, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and selling more than 1 million copies.
The singer is reportedly survived by his wife Carli and son Johnny.
