Who is Johnny Cash ?

• "I Walk The Line"


• "A Boy Named Sue"


• "Ring Of Fire"

Valerie June Carter Cash (June 23, 1929 - May 15, 2003) was a singer, songwriter, actress and comedian and was a member of the Carter Family, and the second wife of singer Johnny Cash. In addition to singing, she played the guitar, banjo, and autoharp.

In 1968, twelve years after they had first met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, Johnny Cash proposed to June during a live performance in Ontario, Canada. Their marriage spanned 35 years until June's death in May 2003. June's stepdaughter, Rosanne Cash, once stated that "if being a wife were a corporation, June would have been a CEO. It was her most treasured role."

In 1967, June and Johnny together won a Grammy Award in the Best Country & Western Performance, Duet, Trio Or Group (vocal or instrumental) category for the song "Jackson." In 1970, they won again in the Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal category for the song, "If I Were a Carpenter."

June and Johnny had one child, John Carter Cash, born on March 3, 1970. He is a record producer and author.

The Highwaymen were a country supergroup comprising four musicians well known for, among other things, their involvement and pioneering influence on the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson.

Outlaws and good old boys Jennings and Cash had worked together previously and had great respect for each other; Jennings was a good friend of Cash's, the latter calling him his "blood brother". The two would go on to release a collaborative effort entitled Heroes in 1986. Cash had also arguably jumpstarted Kristofferson's career by promoting him and one of his most well-known songs, "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", famously covering the latter. Nelson had also worked with Jennings on three previous albums: 1978's Waylon and Willie, 1982's WWII and 1983's Take It to the Limit, and with Kristofferson on the 1982 album The Winning Hand with Dolly Parton and Brenda Lee. Though Cash and Nelson hadn't had much contact prior to the group's formation, there was mutual respect between them; notably, they would release the live VH1 Storytellers album together in 1998. While Kris Kristofferson was perhaps lesser known for his participation in the outlaw country movement popularized by Nelson and Jennings, he was prominent on the Austin music scene during its 1970s heyday and included in the Highwaymen as a mark of his musical collaborations with and contributions to the others in the group.
