Nashville, April 8 (RHC)-- In the United States, one of America’s greatest songwriters, John Prine, died Tuesday at a Nashville hospital of COVID-19.
For five decades, the Grammy-winning folk singer centered the lives and struggles of ordinary people in his music as he chronicled the stories of working-class people, from Vietnam vets to residents of his parents’ hometown of Paradise, Kentucky, a town devastated by strip mining.
John Prine was 73 years old.
