203 Johnny Cash (1932-2003) “Folsom Prison Blues” 1956

Even though the song plagiarized “Crescent City Blues” by Gordon Jenkins, this “in no way detracts from Johnny’s undoubted gifts as an original songwriter…he is the only musician to have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame” (Stephen Miller, Johnny Cash The Life of an American Icon).
