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.

Ive listened to his hit songs - simple man, uneasy rider, long haired country boy --- just about a bazillion times. I have had trouble harmonizing his music of his younger years as a southern long haired hippie type with his older years political comments.
Rest easy Charlie, you certainly left your mark on US music.
