I'm 24 from Australia and a city boy and my main genre of music is rap/hip hop just the way I grew up but Johnny cash is and always will be my no.1 musician of all time. You can't argue otherwise. A talent that will live through generations like my own. I know for a fact I'll be raising my son on good ole Johnny cash
Johnny’s music was all over the place. He crossed boundaries that no other artist would even think of going. He incorporated Rock, Gospel, Blues, Gothic Country, Folk, and Hard Rock
The thing is that Cash did his music without any second thoughts and the 90s hip hip followed his footsteps in lyrics. Earlier metal musicians followed in making powerful music without trying to complicated riffs etc. Cash have always influenced all cinds of changras whiteout trying. Cheers to all of you 'bastards' from Sweden 🇸🇪
@@MrNissetuta Many artists crossed those boundary lines; Earl Scruggs, Joe Cocker, and a great many more. Wasn't just Johnny, many of them did whether rock, country, blue grass. or rap. It all started with the blues....
@@ZOMLUVER 90% of what he played was country lol He dabbled in other things but you don't make 182 records and not try something new lmao lmbo but the guy who said he played "Hard Rock"? LMAO LOL LMBO ROFLMAO! Y'all nuggas is dumb asf.
@ it would be a terrible thing, that doesn’t mean that person has 0 love in them. Go look at interviews with death row inmates or of people who’ve been in prison 20+ years. You’ll see people that are “EVIL” but have more respect and empathy than a rainbow haired animal that was misgendered. Every human experiences love and or attachment that can be with family, animals, movies, music. Everyone has a softer side. Everyone cries
Cada vez mais amo esta voz , esteja onde estiver 🙏🎼💖🇵🇹 , neste ultimo domingo corri 40 Kms de bicicleta apesar de ter 57 anos e no meu esforço ao longo do percurso , só ouvia Johnny cash.
I'm no expert, but probably the best "Prison Ministry" to date. Simply beautiful. I saw the eyes of the inmates in the vid. This appearance made a difference. They mattered. Some for the first and last time. God surely must be pleased.
+Martin Putt Thank God that Johnny got hooked up for Life with June. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash through the 1960's with my parents. Later in Life the RESPECT came. Maybe Johnny and June Cash were codependents but whatever works. She DID save this great man's Life.
@@jssgopman Yeah you keep telling yourself that mate because Johnny Cash is still one of the most popular artists on the planet even sixteen years after his death. I doubt you'll be able to say the same when you die.
Why would they hurt him? The whole crowd obviously respects him for what he's doing. Prison is dangerous, more dangerous to some (like rapists, those who harm children etc), but when somebody comes there to entertain the prisoners and show them respect, nobody's gonna hurt him. He knows what they've been through and he has taken the time to reach out to them. Criminals are still human, y'know? They respect that shit too.
Johnny Cash is a heritage of the united and frees of american people. Be proud of him. All people belong together in your coutnry. No chance for splitter.
The one, the only, the magnificent man who once said that he regretted composing I Walked the Line because everyone wanted to hear it! I'll hear it until I'll...cross the line...
Love this video. I wasn't a country fan but I had this record as a kid because, well Johnny Cash. When they pan the crowd you realize these really are tough, dangerous men not TV gangsters but the real deal. No doubt many of them did terrible things but for that night they got one of God's great gifts to us - the joy of great music. Later saw John with June at the Wyoming State Fair and they were great. Later still lived in San Francisco and driving across the Richmond San Rafael Bridge always made me think of the Man in Black.
One of my biggest regrets in life is when my father took me to a cash concert when I was 11. I didn't watch a single second of it. His music clicked for me when I was about 24. Wish pretty often that I had watched that concert
what an unpredictable and incredible artist. his backup guitarist and drummer must have always been on their toes wondering what he was gonna do. always has so much fun with his songs it's very enjoyable to watch
Frank --- I am envious of you to have met Johnny Cash, one of the greatest of our era. .... Johnny Cash will always be great --- R.I.P. Johnny Cash ...
My grandma used to play Johnny Cash on the big ole record player when I was a kid. I'll never forget she always said before the music started "he's a good Christian man even though you wouldn't know it by the lyrics from alot his songs"
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line I find it very, very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day's through Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you Because you're mine, I walk the line As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've known proves that it's right Because you're mine, I walk the line You've got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love that I can't hide For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide Because you're mine, I walk the line I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line
oh yeah! my dad and pabst blue ribbon had the time of our lives on this in the 70's. Go Johnny...you will always live on with us. I'm in my 40's now and I love how I still hanging out on the weekends with the same music I heard as a kid.
This performance was filmed in Feb. 1969. Luther Perkins died in Aug. 1968. The lead guitarist here is Bob Wootton, with Marshall Grant on bass, W.S.("Fluke") Holland on drums, and Carl Perkins on guitar and vocals (along with the Carter Family and the Statler Brothers). A most talented touring group.
the beautifull thing was, no matter what any man in that room did to get there, not one of em wouldve even thought about hurtin johnny cash, what a legend that man is
+Jamie Bruce I am terribly sorry that I offended you. That wasn't my intention. My intention was to make you aware of Cash's crossover appeal. Please forgive me.
Everyone that I have told about my autism, and of all that I have accomplished with it, are proud of me and they care. Also I did not say that Johnny Cash cured me. I did not say that at all rather, I said that he was therapy for me. There is no cure for autism, but people can learn to cope with it, and everyone who is anyone loves Johnny Cash, people who like country, rock, rap, metal, rock n roll, blues, jazz, bluegrass or any oher genre likes hime, because he crossed all musical boundaries.
It was his famous San Quentin concert, because he recorded it at San Quentin Prison, in Feb of 1969. The song from the album, "A Boy Named Sue" went number 1 on the country charts and number 2 on the pop charts. I am a big Johnny Cash fan, and always have been,
Johnny Cash was a once in a lifetime artist, just glad he was in my lifetime, however they’ll still be playing this mans music and telling his life story 100 years from now.

Only Cash could have done this. Only Cash would even have thought of doing this. You can see he’s having a blast - and so is his audience. He connects with them right away.
Great. Walk the line is my favourite film last year. It's about great power inside everyone to fight with constraints. But, always is some "but". He left wive and get merriage with a woman who had a great impact on him. That's by me is most significant in this biographical movie. Life gives answers even if You don't want it. Phoenix ???? Mirror of Johnny.
We will always have rich and we will always have poor. No one is a living Saint. Look at what is good in the human person, learn something from what is good and consider yourself lucky for knowing someone who has taught you something. This is my motto. I learned alot of Johnny Cash's performance at San Quentin---Do not judge, all human beings have worth....walk a mile in someone else's shoes and you will have a whole new outlook.
