Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now - First Reggae to Feature a Moog
YouTube via keithmintage
"Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now
Up and ticking again."
This one came in via Mikael Lindgren on the AH list: "This Johnny Nash song from 1972 is probably the first ever Reggea-influenced hit to feature the Moog modular synthesizer!?"
I never noticed it before. Listen to the end of the track for the filter sweeps.
Update via Mikael: "Yes, the rhythm brass chords were multi-tracked on a Moog modular (the one at Air Studios, UK). Fracis Monkman (Curved Air, SKY etc.) confimed this for me recenltly. Apparently it took an age to build up the synth parts. Francis also played the bass guitar on that song. It might have been George Martin's old Moog system but Francis wasn't sure."
