Country Music legend Charlie Daniels, best known for his monster 1979 hit “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” died Monday of a hemorrhagic stroke. He was 83.

According to a press release from his representatives, the acclaimed Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member died at Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, Tenn., where doctors determined his cause of death.

Daniels accumulated a slew of accolades and awards during his long career in music, including his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Musicians Hall of Fame and becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry. He also won a Dove Award for gospel albums. While The Charlie Daniels Band had numerous hits and remained a staple in Country music radio, his most enduring hit was tale of a young man named Johnny who challenged the devil to a fiddle-playing contest and came away with a viiolin made of gold.

“Few artists have left a more indelible mark on America's musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor, and a true road warrior, Daniels parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children, and others in need,” a statement from Daniels’ representatives reads.

RIP Charlie! He was one fine fiddle player. I guess the big guy upstairs wanted to hear a little C+W + possibly "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". Another loss of a great musician.


Never mistake motion for action.
