Did you know that these two had a history that went beyond notes on a sheet of music, or strings on a guitar? Roy and Johnny were actually friends back home in Memphis, TN. For instance, the two lived near each other for a time. After the loss of Roy’s wife in a horrible motor accident, Roy became extremely reclusive and secluded. However, that did not stop Johnny from continuing their friendship and visiting Roy at his parent’s house.

“Johnny Cash & Roy Orbison were friends since before their Sun Records days and raised their children together. The two families were even neighbors in Hendersonville, TN.”
