"Ring of Fire" is one of Johnny Cash's most iconic songs. Released in 1963, it became a massive hit and is known for its distinctive mariachi-style horns, which set it apart from most country music. The song was written by June Carter (who later became Johnny Cash's wife) and Merle Kilgore.
The lyrics describe love's powerful and consuming nature, comparing it to a "burning ring of fire." June Carter's sister, Anita Carter, originally recorded the song, but Cash reworked it with the horn section, creating the legendary version.
