The Man in Black is gone

Peter Daniel · 12th September 2003, 11:10 PM

Johnny Cash, a towering figure in American music spanning country, rock and folk and known worldwide as ``The Man in Black,'' died Friday in Nashville, Tenn. He was 71.

Although I was never a fan of country music, I could always listen to Johnny Cash. And his last 6 or 8 albums were especially good. This was not a country anymore, but solid rock, covering artists such as Danzig, Cohen, Tom Petty and Nick Cave.

His music will remain timeless and he will be always remembered.

my day was made a bit more melancholy when i learned this morning that he died.

he gave it his all until the very end, and i believe he leaves a special legacy to this world.

thanks mr. cash.

I heard a few song form his last 2 or 3 albums... I decided to download 'The man comes around' ... those covers he made like 'depeche mode's 'personal jezus;.... huge impact on me..... he has a timing a diction that can compete with Frank Sinatra .. he makes me go silent ...

great artist, his versions of modern songs are a treasure ...

regrets and thankfull,
Thijs

The song "The man comes around" was in one of recent movies. It's indeed quite impressive.
