As the president of commercial operations for the Texas-based pharmaceutical company Mission Pharmacal Company, Terrell “Terry” Herring serves as the company's key decision-maker, steering it through an ever-changing economy. During his free time, Terrell Herring enjoys listening to music. Johnny Cash is one of his favorite artists. Considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Cash passed away in 2003, leaving behind a wealth of timeless hits, one of which was "I Walk the Line." Written in 1956, the tune became his first song to top the Billboard charts. It has since become a classic and is even listed as one of the greatest songs of all time. However, not many people know the story behind the song's composition. In a televised interview with CNN, Cash admitted that he drew inspiration from a tape of Bavarian guitar music being played backward. Cash originally meant for the song to be a slow ballad, but Cash's producer, Sam Phillips, eventually convinced him to use an up-tempo beat that eventually became the singer's signature sound.
