Old Enough to Forget

Johnny Nash is probably best for his 1972 hit "I Can See Clearly Now" a song I once thought my uncle Lloyd had written because he sang it when I was a kid. When I finally heard Johnny Nash's version on the radio I was pretty excited. "My Uncle wrote that!" Sigh, the innocence of youth. But before his big breakthrough he recorded on his own label JAD records, which was named after himself, producer Arthur Jenkins and his manager Danny Sims. They would record in Kingston, Jamaica, which was a pretty tropical place to record a holiday record - it kind of explains why songs like "Baby It's Cold Outside," "Winter Wonderland" and "White Christmas" are absent. - but record a Christmas record he did, and in 1969 The Prince of Peace was released. I'd never heard any of these songs before, which gave me a moment's pause, but the album looks really cool with the 3D image of Johnny on the cover. As an added bonus it was still in it...
