Moon Mullins — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:21:23 +0000

On this date in 1968, Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" is number one. And, I -- Moon Mullins -- had something to do with it.

The label was more interested in the "Folksinger" as a hit. I was music director at an influential Kansas City radio station at that time. When I heard "Folsom" I immediately recommended that they release that as a single.
