One important thing to add to this article could be that the song is credited to Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Two, not him alone. Arsundbe (talk) 22:49, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, that would be a good fact to add in order to make this article more comprehensive - something it really needs some help with at this point. I think that this article could also use some media, especially considering that it is in an entertainment category. Going to look into at least getting a picture of Johnny Cash up on here and maybe even an embedded version (or small clip) of the song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjwiduch (talkcontribs) 13:20, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The bottom is a portion what my group and I want to add to the article. Would anyone be able to give any tips on how to improve it, or give ideas of what you guys think? Anything would help thanks

Selling over 100,000 copies alone in the southern states Cash began to tour with Elvis Presley and other Artist from the Record business.
