Johnny Cash made himself a legendary by beliving in himself first and by practicing what he love until he became what he dreamed to be. Johnny Cash, in my opinion, is the greatest country performer in the United States because no one until today can sing like him or write like his amazing songs. He was unique and skillful. He was born on February 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Arkansas. He passed away on September 12, 2003. He used to wear black because he liked

Also, how can that relate to Johnny Cash?” Johnny Cash had a good life after a long bad life. Johnny had both bright and dark side in his life. Johnny was known as J. R. Then, his name changed to be Johnny. Vivian Liberto was his wife until 1966. The drugs, women, and alcohol were the main reason why Cash and Liberto got divorced.

You can choose love or hate, I choose love.”. (CASH, 2015). They have only one child, John Carter Cash, who was born in March 1970. Their child now became a singer, songwriter, and author too. His debut was with his mother, June Carter Cash, on her CD in 1999. (J. C. Cash) “He’s just like my father that way-my father just adored my mother and let her do whatever she wanted. John’s like that. He’s a very rare man, a very good man, and I’ve had a good life with him. I’m proud to be walking in the wake of Johnny’s fame.” (Shuang)

When Johnny Cash found the light in his life, he decided to survive and be the man that he is. Anyone interested in Johnny Cash songs, can find his last songs before he passed away are talking about how life is and family.

I am not quite sure if the new generation will like Johnny Cash’s songs. However, I think they might go for new songs. However, most of people in the middle age and over like to listen to Johnny Cash. I think Johnny Cash’s songs remember the nostalgia and the old beautiful days. When Johnny Cash passed away, people felt deeply sad because he was the legendary. Some of Johnny Cash songs were describing an event in his life. Something was good and something was bad.
