Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, was born into a family of impoverished sharecroppers during the Great Depression. From an early age, he picked cotton with his siblings at the Arkansas farm, learning the value of grit and hard work already as a young child. Cash never forgot where he came from, and he kept with him a defiant spirit and a sheer resilience which would be infused into classic songs known the world over. As much as Cash had his strengths, he also had his weaknesses. Drug addiction would plague him for much of his life, but no matter what he was going through, he never gave up.
