According to an online biography from the Central Arkansas Library System, Tommy Cash was born April 5, 1940, and enlisted in the military after high school. Tommy earned a record deal in Nashville during the mid-1960s. He had a couple of hits, including "One Song Away" and "Rise and Shine" and "Six White Horses," which celebrated the lives and subsequent deaths of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Sr. and Martin Luther King Jr.

According to Billboard, he collaborated with Johnny Cash on "Guess Things Happen That Way" in 1990.

The single shot to No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard country charts and had a popular album of the same name. He continued to make music although the biography noted that, at times, he had a tense relationship with his more famous older brother. In a 2008 USA TODAY Network interview, he addressed their relationship.

"Some people think I'm taking advantage of my name, but I don't see it that way," he told the Ocala Star-Banner. "I didn't ask to be Johnny Cash's brother, but I loved my brother and his music. I have great respect for his music, and this is a way for me to show it."

A funeral for Tommy Cash is scheduled for Hendersonville, Tennessee, according to an online obituary.

According to The Wrap, Cash also worked as a real estate agent following the height of his music career and helped sell Johnny and June Carter Cash's home following their deaths. He is survived by his wife Marcy.
