This video was made after Johnny died and all these great artists agreed to participate in this tribute video.

Johnny cash filmed the Hurt video in February 2002. His wife June died May 15, 2003….. Johnny Cash died September 12, 2003.
This video came out after his death.

If you want to know Johnny properly, look up the song "The Man in Black". One of his first performances was on The Johnny Cash Show when he visited a university and it lays out why he decided to adopt his all-black attire and the things that represents. It really adds context to the rest of his work and one of the many reasons why he is a legend.

Justin Timberlake was inspired by Cash. He came up with the idea for this video as a tribute, which features 36 stars who were inspired by the Man in Black.

Johnny passed in 2003. This video is from 2006. This song was from a Cash album that was still unreleased at the time.

If I could suggest a Cash song, it would be “Folsom Prison Blues”.

Johnny Cash will always be considered one of the best story tellers ever. He could make you feel whatever emotion he wanted you to and then switch it on a dime. His music pulled you in and engaged you all the way thru to the last bar.

He recorded A TON of music before passing and a bunch of it wasn't released until after he passed.

They were basically showing the symbols of the people working in the dark against their fellow man and the back biters. This was a great tribute to Johnny Cash after he passed away, all these stars showing love and respect to the man in Black.

I believe you nailed it 100%. "What is done in the dark will be brought to the light" was the line  immediately following all the symbology. That was definitely not a coincidence! Good call and great reaction.

A boy name Sue would be a good one

Cocaine Blues,  Folsom  Prison,  A Boy named Sue, Ring of Fire, Jackson, Always on My Mind, Peace in the Valley. He was amazingly versatlile, too. Ren level versatility. Folk, blues, country, rock, gospel... you name it.

I'm 66.  I was never a big Cash fan, nor a country fan.  But his American series of albums produced by Rick Rubin are iconic and spellbinding to me.  It's a historical record of American music.

I'm not religious but I respect Cash because he lived his faith. There are so many frauds who claim to be Christians but don't care for their fellow man. He was a flawed human as we all are but he was authentic

I grew up listening to Johnny Cash introduced to me by my father; when I was 18 my great Uncle who I lived with during the summer on his farm 300 miles from home died the same day as Johnny Cash. He already held a special place with me and after that it was cemented in time for me. At 39 I still love J.R. Cash and still miss my Uncle Bill. He was the embodiment of a stand up guy, grew up with nothing during the depression, fought in Europe in WW2, came home and farmed and when that didn't pay the bills became a police officer and became the first non lawyer in SC to become a Judge , all with a literal 6th grade education, most of all a man of God who made sure to always tell you that everything he had done was not him, but God. Here's to two men with a profound impact on my life.

"Sunday Morning Coming Down" is FIRE BP!!!

Im almost 64 years old. Seems like I've heard and listened to a lot of Johnny Cash. But i have never heard this song. And just like all of Johnny's songs. It's beautiful.

Cocaine Blues, Man in Black, Jackson. Hell you can’t go wrong with any Johnny Cash song. I believe Snoop Dogg even called him the original gangsta rapper.

Bob Dylan once said about Johnny cash he is like the North star you can guide your ship by him.
I seen him at Glastonbury festival 94 here in the UK and it was awesome.

My husband died in November 2019 and in 2020 I found myself alone facing the pandemic.   I don't know your story but life can be a challenge.  Anyway,   this song makes me want to hang onto my  faith and stay aware.  Cash was a great artist.

Dude, one of the last songs Johnny wrote is called "when the man comes around" and it's about as doomy and gloomy as any black Sabbath song. I highly recommend you checking it out! Johnnys later stuff is amazing!

Johnny Cash is the real deal He has a large catalog to go through
