Short story:

Johnny Cash's first single, Hey, Porter, is released in the USA on Sun Records. It is, however, the b-side, Cry! Cry! Cry!, that will provide Cash with his first hit, peaking at No14 in the Billboard Country Music Singles Chart in the USA. Thus, Cry! Cry! Cry is regarded as the song which kicked off Cash's career.
