The Man In Black

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

The late Johnny Cash dare I say it, is/was the perfect brand.

  1. Consistent

  3. He is unmistakable, totally unique

My dad and I were gushing the other day about his integrity, his passion, and his ability to communicate. To cut the crap..

His song “Man In Black” says it all…
Get it here on iTunes.

As for the words and music: the restraint is awe inspiring.

Everyone from jingle writers to copy writers could learn a thing or two by listening to the “air” in his songs.

Check it out
