          The Johnny CasBAh(RICHARD JON SMITH) CANTOR SUL AFRICANO albums discography chronicles the output of one of the most prolific recorded music artists of all time, singer Johnny Cash. His lengthy career, spanning 1954 to 2003, included the release of 96 albums on several record labels. Over the years, Cash also collaborated with many of the industry's most notable artists, and received many awards and accolades from different organizations.
         Cape Town, apart from its famed New Year festive season jamboree once known by the moniker “Coon Carnival”, is arguably the most musical city in South Africa due in no small measure to its exposure to international cultural currents flowing from across the seas to its renowned harbour. Drawing on musical influences from Africa and the USA, the Mother City has given birth to some of South Africa's most gifted musicians who emerged out of the grim shadow of apartheid to shine in the galaxy of music superstars. Reflecting on the careers of three sons of this city, Zayn Adam (also Adams in some sources), Richard Jon Smith and Jonathan Butler, this article endorses what Martin Stokes has said about music, namely as “the means by which this [social] space can be transformed” (Stokes 1994: 4). In focussing on these three artistes, this article spotlights a historic moment in South Africa's cultural production - its popular music of the 1970s and 1980s and how these cultural ambassadors transcended the ontology of their race and the apartheid structuration of the city to make their presence in the world of popular entertainment both in South Africa and globally.

I chose you
Amongst so many other girls
you are so different, so very different
the way you talk, the way you feel
brings us so close, when you whisper to me...

Chorus:
What in the world would I do
without a girl like you
that's why i love you, that's why i love you

we're so very happy
when we're together
just that thought,
makes a tears rool down my face
There were times
that i was unfaithful with you darling
and then my eyes open
And I thank to you, because...

Chorus:
What in the world would I do
without a girl like you
that's why i love you, that's why i love you.

    NONATO COMO PROMETIDO, FIZ UMA VARREDURA E SÓ ME VINHA JOHNNY CASH, INSISTI E DEPOIS DE MUITO PENEIRAR, CHEGUEI A UM GRUPO QUE SE QUEIXAVA DE NÃO TER INFORMAÇÃO DESSE CANTOR, QUE ERA MUITO DIFÍCIL, MAS COMO JÁ ESTOU HÁ MUITOS ANOS NA PESQUISA, ACABEI VISLUMBRANDO UMA LUZ NO FIM DO TÚNEL E ATÉ O NOME DELE ENCONTREI. VOCÊ ME SALVOU DE PARECER UMA CALOTEIRA QUE ESCREVE POR ESCREVER E NÃO PROCURA SER FIDEDIGNA. AGRADEÇO-LHE IMENSO
    SUA COLABORAÇÃO FOI INESTIMÁVEL.
