Question

Do you think johnny cash is one of the most underrated singers and songwriter's of all time?

Answer 1

I think he is slightly overrated. He was a good singer and a decent songwriter, but his best work was a cover song.  

Answer 2

No not at all, he was just very successful at what he did, all his achievements and his contribution to the music industry were well deserved

Answer 3

Not really. In country music I think he is highly regarded as a writer if not a singer. Yet some of his  songs  just don't sound right if someone else tries to sing them.  Like Ringo Starr singing " I Get By " Wouldn't be right if Paul McCartney had sung it. I am not a big country fan but I certainly can appreciate Ring of Fire and I walk the line among others.

Answer 4

only average.

Answer 5

As a songwriter, somewhat.  But he gained much acclaim and respect as a man and a performer so overall I would say no.

Answer 6

no he's overrated. he gained much of his fame after he died.  

Answer 7

no, i think he's overrated  

Answer 8

i don't see him as underrated. he enjoyed a lot of success in his life, and in my eyes he deserved it.

"He had 48 singles on Billboard's pop charts, rivaling both the Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys.

His 11 Grammys included a lifetime achievement award and the 1998 Grammy for country album of the year ("Unchained"). It's said that more than 100 other recording artists and groups have recorded "I Walk the Line."
