Johnny Cash Johnny Cash was an American singer-songwriter and musician who became one of the most influential figures in country music history, equally beloved for his distinctive deep bass-baritone voice, his outlaw persona, and his compassionate advocacy for prisoners, the poor, and the marginalized. Known as "The Man in Black" for his signature all-black attire, he recorded such enduring classics as "Ring of Fire," "Folsom Prison Blues," and his haunting cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." He died on September 12, 2003, less than four months after the death of his beloved wife June Carter Cash.
Overview
John R. Cash was an American singer-songwriter. Most of his music contains themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially songs from the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm, bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his backing band, the Tennessee Three, that was characterized by its train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, and his free prison concerts. Cash wore a trademark all-black stage wardrobe, which earned him the nickname "Man in Black".
