Jonathan “Johnny” Reynolds, the legendary musician and philanthropist, has passed away at 78, surrounded by family in his hometown.
Born in Memphis in 1945 to musically gifted parents, Reynolds carved out a six-decade career blending rock, jazz, blues, and folk into a signature sound. His breakout 1960s debut Soulful Strings produced classics like Whispering Wind and Echoes of the Heart, cementing his place in music history.
More than a performer, Reynolds was a cultural icon whose artistry and generosity left a lasting mark on generations.
