Johnny Cash, born John Ray Cash, was an iconic American singer-songwriter whose deep, resonant voice and compelling storytelling made him a legendary figure in country music. Known for his distinctive bass-baritone vocals and the train-like rhythms of his backing band, the Tennessee Three, Cash's music often explored themes of sorrow, redemption, and moral struggle. His signature all-black stage attire earned him the nickname "Man in Black," reflecting his rebellious spirit and evolving personal journey.
