Oprócz cieszących się umiarkowanym powodzeniem singli solowych nagrywał z zaimprowizowaną ad hoc grupą Teen Commandments, w której skład wchodzili też Paul Anka i George Hamilton IV. Fascynację lekkim soulem Sama Cooke'a ujawnił rhythm'n'bluesowy przebój wokalisty z 1965 r. "Let's Move And Groove
Together".
W 1969 r. odniósł wielki sukces w Anglii dzięki nagraniom z pogranicza pop i reggae "Hold Me Tight" i "You Got Soul" oraz wersji znanego tematu Sama Cooke'a "Cupid"
(wszystkie w brytyjskiej Top 10), zrealizowanymi na Jamajce przez
Byrona Lee. Na pewien czas zaniechał nagrań dla występów aktorskich i
estradowych. Podczas szwedzkiego tournee poznał Boba Marleya, którego
kompozycja "Stir It Up" miała utorować Nashowi powrót na listy przebojów w 1971 r. i przyczynić się do sukcesów singli "I Can See Clearly Now", "There Are More Questions Than Answers" i "Guava Jelly", popularnemu szczególnie w Stanach Zjednoczonych.
Po serii niepowodzeń powrócił w 1975 r. nową wersją przeboju grupy Little Anthony And The Imperials, "Tears On My Pillow" (jedyne pierwsze miejsce w Wielkiej Brytanii).
W 1976 r. kolejny temat Cooke'a, "What A Wonderful World" trafił
jedynie do dolnych rejonów Top 30, a Nash definitywnie poświęcił się
kinematografii i własnej karaibskiej firmie nagraniowej. W 1991 r. "Stir It Up" wykorzystano jako dźwiękowy podkład telewizyjnej reklamy kawy.
