Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash, often referred to as "The Man in Black," was an American singer-songwriter and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Born in 1932 in Kingsland, Arkansas, Cash's deep, resonant voice and his songs about life, love, and hardship captivated audiences around the world. His early hits like "I Walk the Line" and "Ring of Fire" established him as a country music legend, but his appeal transcended genre boundaries, making him a beloved figure in rock and roll, gospel, and folk music as well.

Cash's career was marked by his rebellious spirit and his compassion for the downtrodden, which were reflected in his music and his personal life. He performed for inmates in prisons across the United States, with his live albums "At Folsom Prison" and "At San Quentin" becoming some of his most celebrated works. Despite personal struggles and a period of decline in the 1980s, Cash experienced a resurgence in the 1990s, earning new fans with his poignant covers and original songs until his death in 2003.
