From Yahoo News:
Country Music Hall of Fame musician Charlie Daniels died on Monday at the age of 83.
The prolific singer, songwriter and instrumentalist died in a Nashville hospital after a haemorrhagic stroke, his publicist said in a statement.
His hit, The Devil Went Down to Georgia, is an American classic and won his only Grammy Award in 1979.
He was best known for his fiddle playing, as well as his outspoken brand of conservative patriotism.
News of Daniels' death was met with a flood of tributes.
Sharing a photo of him and Daniels performing together, country star Luke Bryan paid tribute to a "great man" and "hero".
"A true patriot, and country music icon," Bryan wrote. "Thank you for all your contributions on and off the stage. God bless you Charlie Daniels."

Re: Charlie Daniels Has Died
Charlie had a long career...to say the least. From a session guitarist for Bob Dylan in the early 60s...to "The Devil went down to Georgia"...to raising money for vets from concerts.
