These Are The Songwriters Who Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank

Johnny Cash – $60 million

Greatest Hits: Folsom Prison Blues, I Walk the Line
Johnny Cash enjoyed over ninety million albums in sales across the world, securing his place as one of the planet’s most profitable artists. His place in the Rock and Roll, Country Music, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame were all well deserved. Cash’s music was rough and ready, but he always delivered with his emotional and powerful lyrics and presence. Cash was a humble and modest performer, unlike many of his Rock ‘n Roll contemporaries. The film Walk the Line was his troubled life’s biopic.
