She spent time touring with Johnny Cash in the 1970s before launching her recording career. Her breakthrough came with Seven Year Ache in 1981, and her music throughout the 1980s and 1990s established her as a major name in country music.

In 2009, Rosanne recalled that Johnny gave her a list of 100 essential country songs he believed she needed to know.

“It took me, I think, until now, to realize that he was really giving me himself, a part of his heart and soul,” she told NPR.
