Charlie Daniels, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame
best known for "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," died Monday morning
after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke. He was 83.
Daniels' death was confirmed by his publicist, Don Murry
Grubbs. He is survived by his wife, Hazel, and son Charlie
Daniels Jr.
By the time the Charlie Daniels Band topped the charts with
“Devil” in 1979, the instrumentalist, singer and songwriter had long
established a remarkable, multifaceted career in Music City.
As a session musician, he played on three of Bob Dylan’s albums
— including the revolutionary “Nashville Skyline” — as well as
recordings for Ringo Starr and Leonard Cohen.
In 1974, he launched the first “Volunteer Jam,” a regun
all-star concert that has continued for nearly 50 years. Daniels joined the
Grand Ole Opry in 2008, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in
2016.
