Son of an Arkansas sharecropper, country music legend Johnny Cash (right) - the "Man in Black" - sold more than fifty million records and recorded more than 1,500 songs, including such hits as "Ring of Fire" and "I Walk the Line." In this 1974 photograph by Jim Marshall, Cash stands alongside his friend, collaborator, and one-time roommate Waylon Jennings, who himself enjoyed wide renown as a country music star with such albums as "Honky Tonk Heroes."
