John R. Cash was an American country singer-songwriter (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932–September 12, 2003). Themes of sadness, moral difficulty, and salvation were prevalent in most of Cash’s music, especially in the latter phases of his career. He was well-known for his deep, soothing bass-baritone voice and the unmistakable Tennessee accent. In addition to his signature all-black stage attire, which gave him the moniker “The Man in Black,” his supporting band was distinguished by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, rebelliousness combined with an increasingly melancholy and humble manner, free prison concerts, and his rebelliousness.

The singer looked up to and adored Jack, his older brother by two years. Jack seemed to be a really devout man who was passionate about the Bible. According to the report, he was also well on his way “to become a preacher” and was “a mixture of guardian and philosophical inspiration.”
