95.9 The Fox 

Though usually regarded as a country artist, Johnny Cash had a constant influence on rock throughout his entire career - a career that was bookended by the same date. On June 21, 1955, he released his first single "Cry! Cry! Cry!" and exactly 48 years later, June 21, 2003, he would give his final public performance.
