Johnny Cash a fost un cântăreț, chitarist și compozitor american, care a devenit celebru în special datorită muzicii country, dar prin anvergura sa a aparținut și altor genuri. Câștigător al mai multor premii Grammy, era cunoscut pentru baritonul său profund caracteristic și acompaniamentul grupului Tennessee Three.
