Cash to join Gospel Hall of Fame

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 – Johnny Cash will be inducted into the Gospel Hall of Fame in January.

Cash was among four performers named to the hall along with DeGarmo & Key, the Golden Gate Quartet and Bill "Hoss" Allen. The inductions will be on Jan. 24, 2011 in Hendersonville, Tenn.

Cash was raised on gospel music and later turned to religion to deal with his addictions. His last recordings also clearly had a religious tone to them.

Rock band DeGarmo & Key was the first Christian act to play a video on MTV. The Golden Gate Quartet brought jazz to gospel. Allen was an influential DJ on WLAC of Nashville.

The Gospel Hall of Fame was founded in 1971 with more than 150 members vinducted so far.

CD review - Man In Black: Live in Denmark 1971 Like many icons who have since departed the planet, Johnny Cash left behind a legacy that continues to flourish - in the songs he left behind, in their interpretation by others and in the man's own recordings, which still sound as fresh and vital as they were when first released. This vintage concert offers a case in point. Recorded at the peak of his prowess, it finds him replaying his classic hits - "A Boy Named Sue," "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line" ...
