‘I Walk The Line’ — Johnny Cash
When he was stationed with the Germany Air Force, Johnny Cash began to work on “I Walk the Line.” The music is very straightforward. A few years later, when he decided in 1956 to record it, he found the actual tape damaged. Luckily, that turned out to be a great advantage; it embraced its unique sound by trying to wrap a part of wax paper around its guitar strings. And he had been granted his first No. 1 on Billboard charts because of that.
‘River Deep – Mountain High’ — Ike and Tina Turner
Producer Phil Spector considers his most excellent work to be the release of “River Deep – Mountain High” by Ike and Tina Turner in 1966. It ranked No 33 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was inaugurated in 1999 in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Tina Turner had an amazing privilege of getting the song together. It might have taken years for the song to be recognized and awarded, but it was truly worth the wait.
