Country singer Johnny Cash was nicknamed "The Man in Black," a nod to his wardrobe as well as to the darker themes of his music. He got his start with Sun Records in 1955. Like fellow Sun recording artists Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley, Cash used country and gospel influences in what was called rockabilly, an early form of rock 'n' roll. He wrote "Folsom Prison Blues" while serving in the Air Force and in 1956 it became one of his first big hits.
In the 1950s and '60s Cash toured relentlessly and had many more hits, including "I Walk the Line" and "Ring of Fire".
In 1968 he married June Carter of the Carter Family Singers. Cash later performed with artists as diverse as Bob Dylan and U2. He earned a new audience in the 1990s, recording new songs in spite of continuing health problems which included pneumonia, diabetes and a nervous system disease known as autonomic neuropathy.
DAVID STONE: The Johnny Cash Experience!
DAVID STONE AS JOHNNY CASH
David Stone is a Philadelphia born singer/songwriter who has been singing the songs of Johnny Cash nearly all of his life. Inspired by the Man In Blacks ABC television show as a young boy, Stone soon learned to play guitar and sing in Cashs unique style. He started the show MAN IN BLACK 3 1/2 years ago, to an enthusiastic response from fans all over the Philadelphia area.
Stone is not a look-alike or an impersonator, but his rendition of Johnny Cash observes a strict authenticity and dignity in conveying the rich, thought provoking music that made Johnny Cash an icon of American Country music.
Not since the original Beatlemania show has there been a tribute act that has been as well received by a new generation of fans too young to have known the real thing in its zenith. Those who see David Stones performance will know what it must have been like to see the real Johnny Cash in concert. His voice, mannerisms, and the sound of his band are wholly true to the legend.
