Johnny Cash, officially named J.R. Cash at birth, was born into an Arkansas cotton farming family on February 26, 1932. After completing the evening chores, the Cash family would gather on their front porch to sing hymns, folk ballads, gospel tunes, and traditional southern music music that would strongly influence Johnnys style throughout his career.
Enlisting in the U.S. Air Force after high school, Cash was stationed in Germany, where he purchased his first guitar. His first band started with buddies from the Air Force, played the various nightclubs, and entertained the other servicemen around the base.
After leaving the service, Cash moved to Memphis. He worked in a factory and as a door-to-door salesman as he attempted to break into the music industry. Signing with Sun Records in 1954, his early recordings, Hey Porter and Cry Cry Cry, introduced listeners to his distinctive baritone voice and brought him considerable attention in the country-western music world
