Cash was born in Dyess, Arkansas, United States, the youngest of four sons and three daughters of Ray and Carrie (Rivers) Cash (one of whom was Johnny Cash, born eight years earlier).
He formed his first band in high school. After high-school graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, and worked as a DJ for the Armed Forces Radio network.
After the Army, Cash played with Hank Williams Jr., and eventually gained a record deal from Musicor Records in 1965. A year later, he joined United Artists Records and just missed the Country Top 40 in 1968 with “The Sounds of Goodbye.”
In late 1969, while on Epic Records, he delivered his biggest hit, a tune dedicated to John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., entitled “Six White Horses”.
In 1970, he had a pair of top-10 singles, “One Song Away” and “Rise and Shine”, written by Carl Perkins. Cash’s final top-20 hit, “I Recall a Gypsy Woman”, was released in 1973.
