Happy Birthday Johnny Cash!

Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash were best friends. At Sun Records, the two made a deal where they each had to do the other guy’s worst song. Orbison’s song “You Tell Me” was done by Cash. Johnny’s song for Roy was a kind of comedy poem called “Little Wooly Booger.” Roy sped it up, helped Johnny with the lyrics and it became “YOU’RE MY BABY!”
