Johnny Cash interview, 1959
b"I became friends with Johnny Cash in 1959 when I worked at KGW and he appeared at Portland\\u2019s Division Street Corral. After returning to Vancouver I brought him into CKWX for an on air interview. This continued for years. I can\\u2019t remember how many times I was emcee for his shows. He was always a warm man and treated everyone like we mattered.\\n\\nJohnny sold more than 90 million records worldwide. You\\u2019ll remember some of his biggest hits: \\u201cI Walk the Line\\u201d, \\u201cRing of Fire\\u201d and \\u201cA Boy Named Sue\\u201d. Johnny died in 2003 aged 71, but his legacy lives on to this day. The Johnny Cash Heritage Festival will be held in Dyess, Arkansas (where his family settled when he was 3) this week (October 19\\u201321).\\n\\nEnjoy this 1959 backstage interview from Portland's Division Street Corral."
