Cash, Johnny
orig. J. R. Cash

(26 feb. 1932, Kingsland, Ark., EE.UU.–12 sep. 2003, Nashville, Tenn.).

Cantautor estadounidense. A comienzos de la década de 1950 aprendió guitarra y empezó a escribir canciones durante el servicio militar. Se estableció en Memphis y realizó presentaciones sistemáticas en programas radiales como Louisiana Hayride y Grand Ole Opry con éxitos como "Hey, Porter, "Folsom Prison Blues y "I Walk the Line. En 1957 era reconocido como el artista supremo de la música country. Debido a problemas de drogadicción y de salud, su popularidad decayó por un tiempo, pero su álbum Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (1968) hizo que una audiencia más amplia lo redescubriera. En 1968 se casó con June Carter, miembro de la familia Carter, con la que había hecho presentaciones desde 1961. En 1975 apareció su autobiografía Man in Black. En 1994 lanzó American Recordings, que fue un éxito de crítica y de popularidad y con el que consiguió una nueva generación de admiradores. Entre sus últimos álbumes figura American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002).
