American singer-songwriter

Johnny Cash was born February 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Arkansas, to Carrie Cash (Rivers) and Raymond Cash. He made his first single, “Hey Porter,” for Sun Records in 1955. In 1958, he moved to Columbia Records. He had long periods of drug abuse during the 1960s, but later that decade he successfully fought his addiction with the help of singer June Carter Cash, whom he married in 1968. In 1971, he appeared in the western A Gunfight (1971) with Kirk Douglas (I). Cash made only a few films but quite a few appearances on television, both in series and made-for-TV films, and was especially effective as a rural Southern sheriff in the 1930s determined to bring to justice a wealthy landowner who committed murder because he believed he was above the law in Murder in Coweta County (1983), a drama based on a true story. In 1975, Cash wrote his autobiography, “Man in Black,” which is now out of print. In the late 1980s, he moved from Columbia Records to Mercury, then in the next decade moved again to American Recordings. Amongst his biggest hit records were “I Walk the Line,” “Ring of Fire,” and “A Boy Named Sue.” After several years of ill health, he died of complications from diabetes on 12 September 2003, only a few months after the death of his beloved wife.
Johnny Cash’s 5 most popular quotes
- If you aren’t gonna say exactly how and what you feel, you might as well not say anything at all.
- You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
- There’s no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.
- I love the freedoms we got in this country, I appreciate your freedom to burn your flag if you want to, but I really appreciate my right to bear arms so I can shoot you if you try to burn mine.
- There’s a lot of things blamed on me that never happened. But then, there’s a lot of things that I did that I never got caught at.
