Johnny Nash - My Merry-Go-Round

The Houston-born singer's singer was a successor to Sam Cooke in the 1960's as a smooth vocalist mixing Soul styles, most notably with Reggae. Already a mentor to Bob Marley and having scored massive international crossover single hits like 'I Can See Clearly Now', Nash opened further and experimented with this inventive, adventurous 1973 album release. It didn't have the single chart hits but garnered widespread critical acclaim, an indicator as to why it is considered as Nash's most acclaimed album achievement. RPM 2007.
