Johnny Cash honed his public image as "The Man in Black" by regularly performing on stage dressed all in black, wearing a long, black, knee-length coat. This outfit stood in contrast to the costumes worn by most of the major country acts in his day which featured rhinestone suits and cowboy boots. In 1971, Cash wrote the song "Man in Black" to help explain his dress code:
"We're doing mighty fine I do suppose in our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes, but just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back. Up front, there ought to be a man in black."
Celebrate the legacy of American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and author, the man in black himself, Johnny Cash.
