John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Cash was known for his deep, distinctive bass-baritone voice; for the "boom-chicka-boom" sound of his Tennessee Three backing band; for his rebelliousness, coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor; for providing free concerts inside prison walls; and for his dark performance clothing, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". He traditionally started his concerts by saying, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." and usually following it up with his standard "Folsom Prison Blues".

Jars of Clay- I'll Fly Away- with lyrics
Some glad morning, when this life is o'er
I'll fly away,
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away.
Like a bird from these prison walls, I'll fly
I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, O glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah bye and bye,
I'll fly away.
O, how glad and happy when we meet,
I'll fly away.
No more cold iron shackles on my feet,
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, O Glory,
I'll fly away.
When I die Hallelujah bye and bye,
I'll fly away!
--- Instrumental ---
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away.
To a land where joys shall never end
I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, O glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah bye and bye,
