Johnny Cash lyrics –about cowboys and Indians, preachers and convicts, railroad engineers and assorted blue-collar workers–are always sung in a deep, profound voice that sounds less like a typical singer and more like a narrator of the American vision. Part country singer, part folk hero, Johnny Cash was one of the towering figures of American popular music. Cash died on September 12, 2003 at Nashville’s Baptist Hospital. The legendary “Man in Black” was 71 years old.
