Country Music Legend Charlie Daniels Dies, Aged 83


Country music legend, Charlie Daniels, has passed away from what was confirmed to be a hemorrhagic stroke on Monday. He was aged 83-year-old. 

The deceased's career started off as a co-writer in Elvis Persley's 'It Hurts Me' in 1969 and as a guitarist in three of Bob Dylan's album before he made his debut with a self-styled solo album, 'Charlie Daniels' in 1971. 

Charlie was nominated for the Grammy Awards seven times and the only one he won was the best country vocal performance by a duo or group for 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' as his first at the 22nd annual ceremony in 1979. 

Throughout his career, the best he reached on the Billboard Hot 100 chart was number three with his grammy-winning song 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia'. Aside from that, none of Charlie's albums climbed to the number spot of the Album 200 chart. 

In 2008, Charlie was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. The following year, he was inducted in the Musician Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
