Johnny Cash

The movie changed the way the public viewed the Man in Black.

His version sounded very different from Rogers' hit.

Many celebrities and public figures have been immortalized in wax by the famous Madame Tussauds -- including a number of country stars! 

On Oct. 15, 1969, Cash took home a record-setting five CMA Awards, including the night's highest honor, Entertainer of the Year.

On Oct. 13, 1980, Cash was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

On Oct. 10, 1970, Cash's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" landed at No. 1.

His performance of "Stick That in Your Country Song" wouldn't have happened without it.

He was known as the "Father of the Drums."

Get along, little doggies ...

Cash's late-career comeback reached another peak on July 24, 2003.
