Hooray for integrity! After some recent news stories that Johnny Cash's song
Ring of Fire is being considered for use in a Preparation H commercial, the late singer's family sets the record straight. Thanks to Jennifer for sending this in!
==================
Rosanne Cash says she and her siblings were livid when she heard her father's hit Ring of Fire might be used for a Preparation H commercial.
"There is
no way we will ever let that happen," Rosanne said during a phone call Friday. "We would never allow the song to be demeaned like that."
The Johnny Cash hit was written by his wife, June Carter Cash, and Merle Kilgore, who now is Hank Williams Jr.'s manager. Both Johnny and June died in 2003. Last month, a Florida TV production company approached Merle about using Ring of Fire for a commercial for hemorrhoid ointments.
