I too have searched and searched for info on this song???? +I spoke with JCash’ sons publicist and he could not come up with it either. +I even spoke to the producer of the show and struck out there, she may have felt I was investigating copyright infringement ...... +anyone have any luck identifying this song from the show Fast n Loud????

Fast n' Loud +YES!

I too have searched for hours for this song from the TV show FastnLoud, it did sound like J. Cash, but cant be certain, but dozens of lyrics searches has been unsuccessful so far. +Can anyone help on this lyrics search? +I've also contacted both FastnLoud producers and J. Cash Jr., no luck there either.

Name that tune

Recently there was a snippit of a Johnny Cash song played on the Fast & LoudTV program and the lyrics were "I'm looking back over my life and all the crazy things I did to catch your eye". +It is an up-tempo East Coast Swing song. +Does anyone know the name of the tune.

I'm looking back over my life all those crazy things I did to catch your eye. Take me back to the best time, +when I that knew that I was yours and you were mine

Sorry, I have no idea what year it was recorded. +It sounds as though maybeJohnny Cash sang it. +Thanks+

#5 - Folsom Prison Blues

The following (7) Chart entries should be removed from this 1968 recording and transferred to the original 1955 (or 1956 ) recording. 1. Grammy Hall of Fame (1956); 2. DDD 7 of 1955; 3. NuTsie 53 of 1950's; 4. Acclaimed 159 (1956); 5. Rolling Stone 164; 6. RYM 4 of 1955; 7. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 500.

We've created a seperate entry for the 1968 version. Thanks for the suggestion

#5- Folsom Prison Blues

There are (2) recordings of this song. The original (from 1955) is the one elected to Grammy Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Rolling Stone # 164 and Acclaimed 159. I feel this recording should be separated out and make the 1955 list. You have vastly overrated the 1968 recording.

Johnny Cash

Song 1 (Hurt) certification - 2x platinum is for video clip, not single.

Hmm, an interesting one. Clearly the certification is for a version of the song and it is listed on the RIAA web site. We feel that this means we should keep it listed.

We have put a comment on the top of the artist page so that users understand that the certification is not for the single.

Thanks for the input
