Nash began as a pop singer in the 1950s . He also enjoyed success as an Actor early in his career appearing in the screen version of Playwright Louis S. Peterson's ''Take a Giant Step''. Nash won a Silver Sail Award for his performance from the Locarno International Film Festival . He became famous for singing the Theme Song for '' The Mighty Hercules '' Cartoon in the early 1960s (a Song he also wrote). His biggest hits were the early Reggae tunes "Hold Me Tight", "I Can See Clearly Now", and " Stir It Up ", the last written by Bob Marley prior to Marley's international success. In the UK , his biggest hit was with the song "Tears on My Pillow" which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in July 1975 for one week. Nash was last active as a Composer in the Swedish romance ''Vill så gärna tro'' (1971) in which he portrayed ''Robert''. For many years he seemed to have dropped out of sight; however, in May 2006 he was singing again at Sugar Hill Recording Studio in his native Houston. Working with chief engineer Andy Bradley, he began the work of transferring analog tapes of his songs from the 1970s and 1980s to Pro Tools digital format.
