      @John S Very nice, dramatic hollywood scene. However not real. Never happened. Johnny Cash never debuted ''Folsom Prison'' at his audition for Sam Phillips, nor did they argue about God. lol Sam DID say he couldn't market gospel, however, Cash then brought out his original song at the time ''Hey Porter!'' which impressed Sam, because the lyrical writing was clever, and quite ''grown up'' sounding to him, versus all the lovey dovey stuff constantly being sung about in both hillbilly and blues up to that point. But it wasn't ''Folsom Prison'' with the dramatic scene looking at Luther to make up something because they weren't prepared. Although 'cute' in the movie, not based on reality. It was actually ''Hey Porter!'' His very first single at Sun Records was ''Cry Cry Cry'' bw / "Hey Porter!". Johnny Cash wrote about life, as well as love, but Johnny Cash's original writing is what won Sam over in the end. Just not like how the movies portrays it. lol

      Great movie scene, however Johnny Cash's audition with Sam that day at Sun, did NOT go down like that. ''Hey Porter'' was the original song that Johnny Cash showed Sam Phillips that day. They didn't argue about God. Sam did let them know that they couldn't market gospel music like that and that he needed something real. Johnny Cash's original writing style is what won Sam Phillips over that day. Whether about a train song, life, or the typical love song, Johnny Cash most certainly had his own style.

    Sam Phillips has had enormous and lasting influence on popular music. The record company he founded recorded what many people regard as the first rock and roll song, by Ike Turner, “Rocket 88”. He recorded songs for people at pivotal times in their careers, including Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. This one man changed the world; he came along at the right time, the right place, and had the wisdom to see an opportunity.

      This was a fabricated version of what actually happened on the day Johnny went into audition for Sam. They did begin with a gospel song, however the original song that Johnny Cash debuted at the audition to Sam Phillips that day was NOT ''Folsom Prison'', it was ''Hey Porter''. And this dramatic argument whether Cash really believed in God or not didn't go down. All Hollywood. What IS true is that Sam Phillips didn't think he could market gospel, however Johnny Cash would still go onto record an all Gospel album, a couple of them actually, but not till he signed on at Columbia Records. That part is true. lol

      I'm a guitarist too and I feel that! At 4:09 you can see him turn to the bass-player and having a silent conversion about the chords / key of the song, I'm not a lip-reader but it looks like he is mouthing an "A" which makes sense as the key as far as I know is in E (I IV V progression) which would make the chords E A B7.

How Cash brought it home was one of the greatest pieces of musical history. Not the opera or some concert with Hugh Jackman or an audition or mozart. This is real raw brilliance that will never ever be forgotten. And if this actually happened it was one of the greatest mentorships. Bass was a defining factor too

      That word makes me think of all the shit spwed through the ether ever since from K-tel, Stock Aitken Waterman to Universal Records and Sony Music and brings to mind ideas of combacks like Pussy Cat Dolls and all the planets Taylor Swift's and Toby Keith's doing country.
      I meant soul. I meant the same exact thing, which Philips meant. Not some constructed by the dozen crap, which taints the radiowaves around this earth.
      Artists like Lost Dog Street Band, Tejon Corner Street Thieves, Gallows Bound, Carrie Nation and the Speakeasy, Clifton Hicks, Jayke Orvis, The Builders and the Butchers, Carolina Chocolate Drops, .357 String Band, Greensky Bluegrass and even Trampled by Turtles.
      There are tons of country/bluegrass music in the states, which follows the idea Philips supposedly presented to Cash in the scene, and the word "constructed" has no place in that process. This here was about hearing your own soul before you die in a ditch broken and twisted.
