J.R. Cash

February 26, 1932
Country star Johnny Cash was born on this date in 1932 in Kingsland, Arkansas, one of seven children born to Ray Cash and Carrie Cloveree (née Rivers).

He was originally born J.R. Cash. The J.R. didn’t stand for anything because his parents couldn’t think of a name. He took on the first name John when he joined the Air Force because the military wouldn’t accept a name with just initials.
