Tommy Cash

Cash was born in Dyess, Arkansas, and found musical inspiration in his older brother, Johnny Cash. Tommy Cash enlisted in the U.S. Army and worked as a D.J. for Armed Forces Radio Network from 1959 to 1961. He struggled to catch on as a recording artist until “Six White Horses,” a 1969 single dedicated to John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. was released. Cash maintained his chart presence with two more Top 10 singles, “Rise and Shine” and “One Song Away.” He later released music on Elektra, Monument, and various smaller labels. His songs were recorded by Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty & and Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, and Faron Young. In later years, he became an avid supporter of the Johnny Cash Museum.
