Johnny Cash
Besides enthralling us with his music, Johnny Cash took up many roles in his lifetime like salesman and radio announcer. But the most significant of them all was his spell with the US Air Force. While learning the nuances of aircraft at the San Antonio station, he managed to form a music band.
Within four years, Cash got discharged from the forces and started making music on a full-time basis. His baritone voice was a huge hit, and within a year, he started gracing the most prominent recording studios in America.
