Johnny Cash’s first song, his first single was “Cry, Cry, Cry.”
Who knew?
I’m not sure what I thought it was, but not that.
If I had to guess I would have probably said “Walk The Line.”
Gosh, I can’t imagine growing up in that kind of shadow.
I was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 24, 1955, a month before my dad’s first single, “Cry, Cry, Cry,” was released on Sun Records. My mother had only two dresses that fit her in late pregnancy, she told me, and in her final month, during the most summerlike of the sultry late spring days in East Memphis, she would sit on the steps of the front porch and eat an entire washbasin of cherry tomatoes.
