| | Johnny Cash Biography - The Man In Black |
 | | Johnny Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American country music singer and songwriter, known to his fans as "The Man in Black", and a member of the outlaw country movement. |
 | | Cash's next record, "Folsom Prison Blues", made the country Top 5, and "I Walk the Line" was number one on the country charts, making it into the pop charts Top 20. |
 | | In 1997 Cash was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease Shy-Drager syndrome — a diagnosis that was later altered to autonomic neuropathy, associated with diabetes — and his illness forced him to curtail his touring; he was hospitalised in 1998 with severe pneumonia, which damaged his lungs. |
