Tommy was born April 5, 1940
in Arkansas, one of seven children in his family, and eight
years after his brother Johnny. He formed his first band in
high school and enlisted in the Army after graduation. He
deejayed for the American Forces Radio Network. After the
Army, Tommy played with Hank Williams Jr., and later gained a
record deal from Musicor in 1965. A year later he joined
United Artists and just missed the country Top 40 in 1968 with
“The Sounds of Goodbye.”
In late 1969, while on Epic
Records, he delivered his biggest hit, a tune dedicated to JFK,
RFK, and Martin Luther King entitled, “Six White Horses.” 1970
saw a pair of Top Ten singles: “One Song Away” and “Rise and
Shine,” and the Top 20 hit, “I Recall a Gypsy Woman.” Tommy
continues to tour the globe, bringing to his audience the best
in entertainment.
Tommy Cash delivers a family
oriented show with wit and charm, while giving a superb
performance of his top hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s, as well as
many more songs from his more than twenty albums.
[I’ll vouch for Tommy’s great family
show. We worked together at the Strawberry Festival in Plant
City, Florida in 2003. He’s a great guy and worthy of your
support. If you get a chance to see him, take it. Happy
Birthday Tommy! – Dusty Owens, TCM Radio News]
