Johnny Cash is one of the most influential and iconic American singers, songwriters, and guitarists of the 20th century. He is considered one of the best-selling artists in music history. He was born on February 26, 1932, into a poor farming family in Kingsland, Arkansas (USA). During the Great Depression, he began working in the cotton fields alongside his family at the age of just five. His older brother, Jack, died in an accident during his childhood, an event that had a profound psychological impact on him.
