Bo Diddley is one of the greatest influences in the R&B music profession and is rather known as The Originator for this mere reason, as well as for making the foundation rhythms of Rock & Roll very popular, but did he truly deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

“The Man in Black,” country musician, songwriter, and actor, the Identity of this legend is Johnny Cash. The man in question has a mentality stronger than steel, In an interview in 1993 Cash said this, “Someone else said ‘every day in every way I’m getting better and better,’ I didn’t ‘specially believe that about myself, but I said it everyday and I made myself it and it worked”(“Johnny Cash 1993 Interview”). Through his determination, he ensured his success: , “I went and knocked on that door and was turned away, I called back for an interview three or four times, was turned away, so one morning I found out what time the man went to work I went down with my guitar and sat on his steps until he got there.” Because of Cash’s conviction to make it in the music industry, he spoke with the man who could have turned him away, but he said, ‘Come on in let’s listen.’”

One of the primary reasons is religion.
