Johnny Cash was a country music legend, born in Arkansas in 1932. He rose to fame in the 1950s with hits like “I Walk the Line” and “Ring of Fire.” Cash’s turbulent personal life, including struggles with addiction, influenced his music and made him an icon of rebellion. He performed at Folsom and San Quentin prisons, solidifying his reputation as an advocate for the underdog. In addition to his music career, Cash acted in films and wrote books. He passed away in 2003 but his legacy lives on as a pioneer of the outlaw country music movement.
