Texas singer-songwriter Charlie Robison died Sunday at a San Antonio hospital. According to a family representative cited by AP, Robison died after suffering cardiac arrest and other complications.

Following the success of his 2001 album “Step Right Up,” which included his only Top 40 country song, “I Want You Bad,” Robison became a judge on the first season of the USA Network music competition Nashville Star.

The show went on to run for six seasons, with Bret Michaels, future The Voice mainstay Blake Shelton and Jewel among those who succeed Robison in his judge chair.
