Written by Shel Silverstein, Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" was recorded live at California's San Quentin State Prison on February 24, 1969. Cash also performed the song (with comical variations on the original performance) in December 1969 at Madison Square Garden. The live San Quentin version of the song became Cash's biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and his only top ten single there, spending three weeks at No. 2 in 1969, held out of the top spot by "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones. The track also topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Easy Listening charts that same year and was certified gold on August 14, 1969, by the RIAA.
