Johnny Cash’s
With the death of this musician, rock & roll had lost one of its most recognisable figures in its history. Musician Johnny Cash was a multi-faceted musician who was able to master many different styles throughout his long and illustrious career. It is estimated that he has sold more than 90 million records in total globally, making him one of the best-known and most revered country music singers on the planet. He was also well-known for his own style of bluegrass music, which he performed and recorded.
Because of his prominent position in the community, it’s possible that you were unaware of his military service. Even more astonishing is the fact that he went on to work as a government spy, putting his own life and the lives of his family in danger in order to obtain critical information from the government. After joining the United States Air Force in1950, he was sent to the 6910th Security Group in West Germany, where he worked as a Morse Code Interceptor for the group. Perhaps he was among the first to hear the news of Joseph Stalin’s death, which was broadcast via Russian military radio transmissions and received by the rest of the world hours before the rest of the world.
