Johnny Cash lived to see his cover of NIN's "Hurt" released, but barely. Hurt was Cash's swan song, and his cover was far better than the original. Hurt topped I Tunes and bad a video considered "viral" for 2003. Hurt is another amazing song, so make sure to look up the video, but since he died long before Spotify I don't know if it's on there. This was also Cash's first #1 album, and the song charted on Alternative and Country (though just barely). However his Hurt cover has more than withstood the test of time, and cemented Cash's musical legacy.

remember that! powerful, great stuff! cash is one of my all time greats.
kind of the same happened with Cobain when unplugged in new york were released just Days after the suicide and his rendition of "where did you sleep last night" really felt like it was his last outpouring (which it wasn't of course, they played months after, but it felt like that.)
