April 17, 1970 – While performing at the White House at the invitation of President Richard Nixon, Johnny Cash was asked to perform “Okie From Muskogee”. Cash declined because it was not his song, but had been a hit for Merle Haggard. Instead, Cash sang his #1 hit, “A Boy Named Sue.” #ROCkabillyHop @JohnnyCash #ManInBlack #ABoyNamedSue #RocHop #JohnnyCash #OTD #RockNRoll
