He served 20 years in prison!
In 1958, Johnny Cash gave a charity concert at San Quentin prison, where convicted criminal Merle Haggard was serving his sentence. This performance made a tremendous impression on Haggard and became the turning point that awakened in him a love for country music.
Cash, by his example, showed that art is capable of touching even the most desperate souls. After the concert, Haggard found inspiration and a new path in life. He later became one of the greatest country singers in US history, and his journey from a prison cell to musical fame inspired many.
