The 1963 Johnny Cash song 'Ring of Fire' has been my long time favorite song from the country legend. When I first purposely started playing ol' Johnny Cash, it was my song of choice in the Jukebox at Denny's bar in South Oakland(Pittsburgh). My high school buddy Fat Tom, loved Johnny Cash, and I quickly grew to love 'Ring of Fire'. I still have great memories of darts and pitchers at the bar playing this song over and over. I eventually picked up Johnny Cash - Legend of Johnny Cash as my primer to his collection, of which I have about 20 albums now. Ring of Fire has always held strong as my fav. Johnny Cash - 'Ring of Fire' Through the years, there have been many cover versions of Ring of Fire. The one that sticks out the most was the Social Distortion attempt from 1990. That was at least until in a deep music exploration session, I came across The Best Of The Johnny Cash TV Show: 1969-1971, including a live version by Ray Charles.
