The country music world is mourning the loss of singer Charlie Daniels this week as the country and Southern rock legend died of a stroke on July 6, 2020.

Most people know Daniels for his hit song with the Charlie Daniels Band, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” but he had a lot of success outside of that song as well.

However, in 1972 he formed the Charlie Daniels Band.

The song ultimately became the Country Music Association’s Single of the Year.

Million Mile Reflections — which had “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” on it — also ended up going multi-platinum, and Windows went gold. .

He was also a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Tennessean reported. .

“I’ve had things happen to me I didn’t even have the imagination to dream about years ago when I first started,” Daniels said last year, according to Forbes.

I never imagined I’d go all over the world, play every state in the Union, and become a member of the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Musicians Hall of Fame.

Dolly Parton tweeted, “Well, the devil went down to Georgia, but Charlie went straight to heaven.

Additionally, President Donald Trump tweeted, “We will miss GREAT Country Rocker, Charlie Daniels, who passed away yesterday in Hermitage, Tennessee
