Glen Sherley

US country singer-songwriter (b: 09-Mar-1936 : d: 11−May-1978). Sherley was serving a sentence at Folsom Prison when Johnny Cash became aware of his song "Greystone Chapel" just prior to recording his album. After release from prison, Sherley continued to write and perform, but had difficulty in adjusting to life outside of prison. He retreated from performing before taking his own life in 1978.
