Johnny Cash was born in Kingsland, Arkansas on February 26, 1932.   He recorded for Sam Phillips of Sun Records in Memphis Tennessee, and his first record was “Hey Porter” backed by “Cry! Cry! Cry!,” which was released in 1955.  Cash developed his “boom chicka boom” sound with Luther Perkins (lead guitar) and Marshall Grant (bass).  Later, Cash recorded for Columbia Records.  He has recorded over 1,500 songs and they can be found on about 500 albums, if you count only American and European releases.  More of his albums (45) remain in print today than most artists make.  Cash is the youngest person ever chosen for the Country Music Hall of Fame and the only person ever selected for the Country and Rock Music hall of Fame, until 1998, when Elvis Presley was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.  His most well-known songs were “I Walk The Line” and “Folsom Prison Blues.”
