Man In Black - with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Johnny Cash always wore black clothes, and he wrote this song to help explain why: I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime But is there because he's a victim of the times

At first, Cash and his band wore black shirts because it was the only matching color they had in their wardrobes. Cash wore other colors on stage early in his career, but claimed to like wearing black both on and off stage.

The Christian rock band One Bad Pig recorded this on their 1991 album I Scream Sunday with Cash singing backup.
