‘I Walk The Line’ — Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash began working on “I Walk the Line” while he was stationed with the Air Force in Germany. The music is very simple. Several years later, when he decided to record it in 1956, he discovered that the original tape had been damaged. Fortunately, this ended up being a huge advantage; he embraced the unique sound, adding even more interest by wrapping a piece of wax paper around his guitar strings. And because of that, he was given his first No. 1 on Billboard charts.

‘River Deep – Mountain High’ — Ike and Tina Turner
Producer Phil Spector considers the 1966 release of “River Deep – Mountain High” by Ike and Tina Turner to be his greatest work. It ranked No. 33 on the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time by Rolling Stone and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Getting the song together was a memorable experience for Tina Turner.
