(Radio.com) Johnny Cash is going to get his own postage stamp. It's being issued as a Forever� stamp, but the release date has not yet been announced.

According to the site Beyond the Perf�the digital outlet of the USA Philatelic catalog, which focuses on U.S. Postal Service stamps and products�the upcoming stamp is designed to resemble a 45 record sleeve.

It features a photo of Cash taken by Frank Bez during the photo session for the 1963 compilation Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash.

"Ring of Fire" was, of course, one of Johnny's signature songs, and it was cowritten by his soon-to-be-wife June Carter (along with Merle Kilgore). It stayed at Number One for seven weeks in 1963. more on this story
