OCR Page 1 of 5JOHNNY CASH is one of the most celebrated figures in
the world of country music. His interest and ability in this
field stems from childhood, when the Cash family would
gather each evening to sing popular songs as well as those
they had composed while working in the cottonfields during
the day.
Johnny, who is one-quarter Cherokee Indian, grew up in
Dyess, Arkansas. By the age of twelve he was writing his
own songs, and during his high school years he sang on
the radio. After serving in the Air Force, Johnny went to
Memphis to pursue his ambition of entering the field of
country music. He took a radio-announcing course and sup-
ported himself by selling appliances door-to-door, finally
signing a recording contract.
Today his baritone voice is heard on more than fifteen mil-
lion records and almost one million tapes. He premiered his
own television show January 21, 1970. This evening he will
perform with members of the cast of his television show:
The Carter Family, The Statler Brothers, The Tennessee
Three, and Carl Perkins.
