Even though it was expected, I feel a certain sadness. At least , he left on a high note.  |  IP: Logged Chris Greenwell Film Handler Posts: 28 From: West Valley, Ut Registered: Mar 2003 posted 09-12-2003 05:35 AM                     Thats way sad to hear.....God Bless Johnny  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-12-2003 05:37 AM                  Damn! I just got that flash email too. "Johnny died due to complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure" I always think of him after eating Mexican food. My sphincter reminds me of his song "Ring Of Fire". RIP John! Your talent will be missed! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-12-2003 05:58 AM                        Johnny was a one of the Greats. If you havn't seen the DVD Hurt It's Johnny at his best. Extremely moving.

He was up for 7 at the MTV Video Music Awards. I don't even want to count the number of covers or "Ring of Fire" that were done in recent years. I always had the sneaking suspicion that of all the Sun records alumni - the Million Dollar Quartet of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, & Roy Orison - the last man standing would be Jerry Lee Lewis. He's even outlasted Charlie Rich & Sam Phillips. He's bound to be taking this mighty hard, too. He was very close friends with Johnny Cash.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-12-2003 07:05 AM                     RIP John, you leave a great legacy of songs I'll never forget.

But, since his first hit was in 1955, I knew he had to be getting on up there in age. He was born February 26, 1932. His first hit was "Cry! Cry! Cry!", charting November 26, 1955 (Sun single 221). To bring back memories, here is a list of the singles from the beginning of Johnny Cash's career at Sun, up to and including the first few Columbia singles. Chart info is from the country chart. Sun 221 1955/11/26 Cry! Cry! Cry!

His last record is brilliant, and sounds like a heartfelt goodbye to all of his fans. I'll be thinking of him as I head to Memphis tomorrow.  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-12-2003 10:50 AM                     Joe, I had the same feeling. The last song Johnny sang - it was sad to listen to. I have to agree - it may have been a goodby song to all his fans. AS I look at my CD collection and my analog collection as well, Johnny Cash is the "big name" in my collection followed by Gordon Lightfoot and Marty Robbins. Fantastic artist, song writer and singer. Johnny will be missed. There will never be another like him.  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

He was a survivor and late in life did a lot of Gospel stuff too. He'll be missed.  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-12-2003 09:36 PM                     Let's not forget another great singer in the Cash family. Johnny's brother, Tommy Cash. Naturally, Tommy is alive and well. Tommy was born 8 years after his brother. In event some have never heard the name of Tommy Cash, he delivered hits including SIX WHITE HORSES, RISE AND SHINE, THAT CERTAIN ONE, THOUGHTS ON THE FLAG, THE COWBOY AND THE LADY, GYPSY WOMAN and many of the songs from his more than 20 elbums. If you have heard Tommy singing these songs, it sounds like Johnny. Here is something Tommy posted on his website: "I grew up in northeast Arkansas, the youngest of seven children. I remember Mama and Daddy working long hours to provide for us and give us a Christian home...most of all, I remember a whole lot of LOVE. My brother JOHNNY and I are the only two who made a career in the Music Business. Sometimes I perform a musical "Tribute" to Johnny in my concerts.  |  IP: Logged Peter Kerchinsky Master Film Handler Posts: 326 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-13-2003 05:02 AM                     All I believe right now is there's alot of great singing going on in Heaven. Good night and God bless June and Johnny. You will live forever in my heart.  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 09-14-2003 08:22 AM                     Remember Johnny's TV show in the early 1970's? My mentor was Sid O'Berry in Nashville. He shot all of the train-yard films that were used with the songs Johnny sang. I went with Sid to Johnny's home in Hendersonville, TN to shoot some still images. I got to hold a reflector! Cash and Carter were wonderful. I felt so at home with them. A few weeks later, I was a seat filler at the Country Music Association Awards telecast that was done live from the Opry House. I got to sit down front... 3rd row. Johnny was the MC that year. During a commercial break, he was standing at the podium waiting for his cues. He looked down in my direction, spotted me, and said "Hi, Bruce, Good to see you!" I was really popular with the folks sitting around me for the rest of the night. Full House! He was a true original.  |  IP: Logged Don E.

Thanks Johhny, we will miss you.  |  IP: Logged
