They were very poor, and Cash claims that he almost died of starvation as a child. Sadly, his older brother Jack died in a tragic accident while working a table saw in 1944. </p> <p> His early memories were dominated by gospel music and radio. Taught by his mother and a childhood friend, Johnny began playing guitar and writing songs as a young boy. By the age of twelve he was performing songs on local radio. </p> <p>After a stint in the Air Force, Cash married Vivian Liberto and signed with Sun Records in 1955. In 1956, Cash recorded his signature hit 'Folsom Prison Blues', which he was inspired to write after seeing a powerful film about Folsom Prison. That same year, 'I Walk the Line' marked his first No. 1 country hit. The following year, Cash released his debut album, 'Johnny Cash with His Hot & Blue Guitar'.</p> <p>Although he was Sun's most consistently best-selling and prolific artist at that time, Cash felt constrained by his contract with the small label. As a result he left the label to sign a lucrative deal with Columbia Records, where his single 'Don't Take Your Guns to Town' would become one of his biggest hits.</p> <p>Unfortunately, he became addicted to drugs and alcohol. In 1965, a violent outburst in Nashville had him banned from the famous Grande Old Opry venue. His addictions also caused the break-up of his marriage to Libreto, with whom he had four daughters - Rosanne, Kathleen, Cindy and Tara.</p> <p>However, in the late 1960s Cash discovered God and met his future wife, June Carter, who offered him support and inspiration. The couple collaborated on a succession of acclaimed duet recordings, including 'Jackson' and 'Long-Legged Guitar Pickin' Man' (both 1967), before marrying in 1968.</p> </div> <button type="submit" onClick="window.open('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cash')">Learn More About Johnny Cash</button> </div><!-- end container --> </body> </html>
