Tommy Cash is no stranger to the country music hit parade, with chart toppers such as 'The Sounds of Goodbye”, “Six White Horses” “One Song Away”, Rise and Shine” and “I Recall a Gypsy Woman”. “My brother told me; revealed Tommy, that he always wore black because it made him look thin and it didn't show dirt”.
