Country music and southern rock legend Charlie Daniels has passed away at 83.
Charlie Daniels, the country music and southern rock legend, has died. He was 83.
"Charlie Daniels was a reverential innovator," Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Kyle Young said in a statement."He was a fiddle-playing bandleader, like King of Country Music Roy Acuff. His music fused the immediacy of Southern Rock with the classic country storytelling that he heard as a child in Wilmington, North Carolina."
Sarah Trahern, Chief Executive Officer of CMA, shared similar sentiments, saying in her own statement, "There are few artists that touched so many different generations in our business than Charlie Daniels did." Over his decades-long career, which began in the '50s, Daniels produced a number of hits with his band, including "Long Haired Country Boy" and"The Devil Went Down to Georgia." The latter was the CMA Single of the Year in 1979 and earned the Charlie Daniels Band a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.
