Quite possib… Read Full Bio ↴The country duo of Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter
Quite possibly, the most recognizable voice in all of country music belongs to "The Man in Black," Johnny Cash. His forays into the fields of country, folk, rock and even gospel music, distinguish Cash as one of the most intriguing performers in all of 20th century popular music. In addition to one of the most impressive musical careers of all time, he enjoyed success and garnered tremendous respect as an author, actor and Biblical scholar.
Born Feb. 26, 1932, in Kingsland, Ark., Johnny Cash was born John R. Cash, one of six children belonging to Ray and Carrie Rivers Cash. When John was 3 years old, his father took advantage of a new Roosevelt farm program and moved his young family to Dyess Colony in northeast Arkansas. There the Cash family farmed 20 acres of cotton and other seasonal crops, and young John worked alongside his parents and siblings in the fields.
By 1967, though, Cash managed to overcome his addiction with the help of his singing partner June Carter and her family. In 1968, he and Carter were married and his career experienced a renaissance. Throughout the remainder of the decade and into the 1970s, Cash was at the top of his game. A pair of live recordings made at Folsom Prison and San Quentin both went gold and a passel of awards followed including the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist awards in 1969.
In 1980, at the age of 48, Johnny Cash became the youngest living inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bestowed its honor on him in 1995, thus making him one of a handful of country artists in both organizations.
After losing his wife June Carter Cash unexpectedly in May 2003, Johnny Cash passed away Sept. 12, 2003 at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tenn. from complications from diabetes, a little before his with his biography and history with June Carter to be showed to world.

And let me be your champion: a hand to hold your pretty hand in.
Darlin' companion, now you know you'll never be abandoned.
Love will always light our landin': I can depend on you.
Oh, a little saucy mare like you should have a steed.
Oh, a little bridlin' down from you is what I need.
Love will always light our landin': I can depend on you.
Darlin' companion, come on and give me understandin'.
As long as we keep laughin', bear in mind just what could happen.
Darlin' companion, I tell the mountains and the canyons,
Long as I got legs to stand on, I'm gonna stick by you.
Oh, a little saucy mare like you should have a steed.
Oh, a little bridlin' down from you is what I need.
Darlin' companion, I tell the mountains and the canyons,
Long as I got legs to stand on, I'm gonna stick by you.
Darlin' companion, I tell the mountains and the canyons,
Long as I got legs to stand on, I'm gonna stick by you.
The song "Darlin' Companion" is a classic love song by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. The lyrics talk about the deep love and devotion that two people can have for each other, even in the face of adversity. The song begins with Cash asking his "darlin' companion" for understanding and support, and promises to always be there for her. The lyrics convey a feeling of security and stability in the relationship that they have built together.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the deep love that exists between the two partners. Cash sings about their "landin'" - a metaphor for their safe and stable relationship - being lit by love, which they can both depend on. The second verse describes the kind of relationship that they have, with Cash referring to his companion as a "saucy mare" who needs a "steed" to keep up with her. He promises to be the "bridlin' down" that she needs, suggesting that he will help to keep her grounded.
The final verse emphasizes the strength of their relationship, with Cash promising to stick by his partner no matter what. He uses the mountains and canyons as symbols of their enduring love, saying that he will never abandon her as long as he has "legs to stand on". The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, underscoring the importance of love and devotion in their relationship.
