The passing of "The Man in Black" left a large void in American music. Few performers have ever been able to convey the pain and suffering of a hard life more genuinely than Cash, whose craggy face and gravelly voice were a singular testament to the angst behind the hulking figure he presented on stage singing such gut-wrenching classics like "Folson Prison Blues", "I Walk the Line" and "Ring of Fire".
