Write something about Country music legend Johnny Cash—whose craggy baritone, simple poetics, hard-won integrity, and advocacy of the dispossessed transformed him into an American icon—died at age 71 on September 12th, 2003. Maybe a song, you liked, or the way he dressed?

The Man in Black, I started listening to Johnny Cash back in the early 60,s and at that time Ring of Fire was my favorite song. I've continued to be a fan ever since I first him on the radio.He had a great voice (I thought). He went through a lot of rough years, but I continued to find his music enjoyable.

I enjoy the older Country western singers, like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson along with several others including Charlie Pride, George Jones, Hank Williams, and whole bunch more.

I was happy when he joined up with Waylon, Willie and Kris Kristofferson. They used the Name Highwaymen and they had to get the OK to use that name since there was another group who were called the Highwaymen who sang Folk Music.
