<P> Cash met singer June Carter, of the famed Carter Family while on tour, and the two became infatuated with each other .

The couple married on March 1, 1968, in Franklin, Kentucky . They had one child together, John Carter Cash, born March 3, 1970 . </P> <P> Cash and Carter continued to work, raise their child, create music, and tour together for 35 years until June's death in May 2003 .

Cash worked up the courage to visit the Sun Records studio, hoping to get a recording contract . He auditioned for Sam Phillips by singing mostly gospel songs, only to learn from the producer that he no longer recorded gospel music .

Cash eventually won over the producer with new songs delivered in his early rockabilly style . In 1955, Cash made his first recordings at Sun, "Hey Porter" and "Cry! Cry! Cry!", which were released in late June and met with success on the country hit parade . </P> <P> On December 4, 1956, Elvis Presley dropped in on Phillips while Carl Perkins was in the studio cutting new tracks, with Jerry Lee Lewis backing him on piano .
