Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash (born John R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American country singer-songwriter. Known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, Cash rose to fame in the mid-1950s in the rockabilly scene in Memphis. He was recognized for his sorrowful and redemptive themes in his music, especially in the later stages of his career. Cash's concerts often began with his iconic introduction, 'Hello, I'm Johnny Cash,' followed by his signature songs like 'Folsom Prison Blues' and 'I Walk the Line'. He also gained recognition for his rebelliousness, prison concerts, and trademark all-black stage wardrobe, earning him the nickname the 'Man in Black'.
