Country Legend 'Charlie Daniels' dies at 83

Charlie Daniels recorded 30 studio albums, 8 Live albums and 4 Compilation albums. He landed 54 singles on the Country charts and his only number #1 hit was, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." That song came also from his only number #1 album called, "Million Mile Reflections."

"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was such a massive hit that it became his Signature song. It is still played on radio and rock stations because of the "fiddle" solos. The song even crossed over into the pop charts landing at number #3 in 1979. Daniels was entered into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016.

Below is a Live 1979 performance of THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA.
