He was also the first non-Jamaican to record reggae music in Kingston, Jamaica. Contents [hide] 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. In 1965 Johnny Nash and Danny Simms formed the JODA label in New York. One of the more interesting signings was four brothers from Newport, Rhode Island, ages 9, 11, 15 and 16, called “The Cowsills”. This was before “The Cowsills” signed with Mercury/Philips with Shelby Singleton and before they signed with MGM and had their first million selling hit single, “The Rain, the Park and Other Things”. Johnny had his writers writing songs for “The Cowsills” and they went into the studio in New York with studio musicians and recorded a number of songs like “Either You Do Or You Don’t” and “You Can’t Go Halfway”. Eventually “The Cowsills” would write and record their own song, “All I Really Want To Be Is Me” which became the groups first-ever single release on JODA RECORDS
