  • Johnny Cash's former manager tackled singer's drug battles but quit over religious differences, book claims
    September 21st, 2017
    By Stephanie Nolasco, Fox News
    When Julie Chadwick received an email marked “confidential” in 2005, the local Canadian reporter had no idea she would uncover a forgotten chapter in Johnny Cash’s life.
    The message was from Jonathan Holiff, whose late father Saul managed the Man in Black for 13 years before quitting in 1973 at the height of the singer’s career.
    The patriarch oversaw the country music legend’s career, introduced him to June Carter and even handled his divorce from first wife Vivian. But six months before the critically-acclaimed Cash biopic “Walk the Line” hit theaters in 2005, the elder Holiff committed suicide at age 80, leaving no note.
    His son, Jonathan, who was struggling with the sudden death of his estranged father, unearthed a storage locker that was filled with hours of audio diaries, hundreds of letters and photos, taped phone calls and long-forgotten newspaper clippings that explored Holiff’s role as a rock ’n’ roll promoter during the 1960s in Canada.
    While working on a documentary called “My Father and the Man in Black,” he gave Chadwick, who was working on a story about the upcoming film, full access to the archives.
    Chadwick’s understanding of Saul Holiff and his complicated relationship with Cash led to a book called “The Man Who Carried Cash.”
