played an illiterate Kentucky single father in "The Pride of Jesse Hallum"
His marriage to [[June Carter Cash]] marked a turnaround in his career. He rededicated his life to [[Jesus Christ]], got off drugs, and recorded two very popular albums, ''At Folsom Prison'' (1968) and ''At San Quentin'' (1969) both recorded live before [[prison]] audiences. Many of the prisoners were deeply moved by his testimony and accepted Christ as their Savior.<ref>[http://www.christianitytoday.com/tc/2003/005/5.00.html Jim Hefley's biography of Johnny Cash]</ref> His early 1970s albums continued his commercial success and included a few Christian songs on each album. Typical was his 1971 album ''Man In Black'', which introduced the nickname he would be known by ever since, included another major hit single in the title track, and featured [[Billy Graham]] on one Gospel track. However his commercial success began to fall off considerably after 1976. His last major hit single was "One Piece at a Time" in 1976. He continued to record throughout the rest of the 1970s and the 1980s.

Cash's career made another comeback starting in 1994 after being signed by producer [[Rick Rubin]]'s American label. The series of albums that followed, starting with ''American Recordings'', introduced Johnny Cash's music to a brand new, younger audience. A cover of "Hurt", which was originally by [[Nine Inch Nails]], became a major hit and the video for it won several awards.
