Throughout the course of his multi-platinum career, Daniels’ passion for music was felt across genres, resulting in Dove Awards for his gospel albums, CMA Award-winning country hits, collaborations with Bob Dylan, and much more. He created countless memorable songs with the Charlie Daniels Band, including his signature hit “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” (which even inspired a 1993 sequel, “The Devil Comes Back to Georgia”). The singer-songwriter received numerous accolades, including his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Musicians Hall of Fame, and the Grand Ole Opry society.
