Too bad .
Every one has heard that song.
Going to overshadowed.
By the Eddie Van halen death.

I love that song. I never tire of listening to it. So uplifting and triumphant...

RIP, Johnny...

Makes me wax nostalgic about seeing Cool Runnings in the theater as a kid. Still one of my favorite movies, and a wonderful song.

Turns out Nash was a big part of Marley's success, having signed him to his own record label early in Bob's career.

Not likely, Johnny's biggest hit is more widely known than any Van Halen songs I'd bet.
