Johnny Cash’s first gold record for the recording of “I Walk the Line” will finally go on display for all of the public to see. The record, recorded over 60 years ago on Sun Records, has been in the hands of private collectors since Cash’s death. The plaque was sold as a part of a Cash estate auction shortly after his death to an anonymous buyer. Bill Miller, the founder of the museum, purchased it from a private collector in Germany earlier this year. Visitors to the Johnny Cash Museum can now see the plaque on display with many of his other gold and platinum records. “I Walk The Line” became Cash’s first number one hit on the Billboard charts. It reached number 17 on the US pop charts and remained on the record charts for over 43 weeks, and sold over 2 million copies. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
