Happy 78th Johnny Cash...R.I.P.
Johnny Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), born J. R. Cash, was an American singer-songwriter, actor,author and Biblical scholar who was one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll especially early in his career, as well as blues, folk and gospel. Late in his career Cash covered songs by several rock artists, among them the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails.
Cash was known for his deep distinctive bass-baritone voice, for the "boom-chicka-boom" freight train sound of his Tennessee Three backing band, for his demeanor and for his dark clothing which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". He traditionally started his concerts by saying, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."
I was lucky enough to be introduced to Johnny's music as a youngster since he was probably my Dad's favorite and I have loved his music ever since..."lay back and groove".
