Biography
Johnny Cash was an American singer-songwriter whose deep, bass-baritone voice and genre-spanning music made him one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Known as "The Man in Black," he crafted a rebellious persona, with songs often exploring themes of sorrow, redemption, and the struggles of the working class. His career began at #Sun Records# in the 1950s rockabilly scene, but he achieved iconic status with his live prison albums, 'At Folsom Prison' and 'At San Quentin'. A late-career resurgence with producer *Rick Rubin* on the 'American Recordings' series introduced his raw, powerful storytelling to a new generation before his death in 2003.
