Yes you're quite right Johnny Cash played country singer and evangelist Tommy Brown in the Columbo episode called "Swan Song" which was made in 1973 and first shown the following year. The episode features a singing JC and footage from one of his concerts. JC plays a singing evangelist who, with his domineering wife, travels the country performing religious music in order to raise money for a new tabernacle. JC's a little upset as he never gets to see any of the money. When he makes noise about it, his wife, played by Ida Lupino, to keep him in line, prances out an underage member of the choir whom JC once seduced. JC plots a great murder by crashing his plane with his wife and choir member in it while he parachutes out.

Sorry to spoil it, but Columbo gets him in the end.



Oh and just one more thing, I don't think this is available on CD or, any longer, on VHS, but it is in the third season of Columbo which is out on DVD



Sorry, I can't be of much help with the original enquiry, but hope this is of some use. Rotf.

The song should be "I saw the light" (Hank Williams) or "Sunday mornig coming down" (Kris Kristofferson).

Rotf and Gianluigi!thanks for your help.
a friend of mine told me that the third seson columbo dvds do not content the song
as a acomplete song ,neither during the movie,nor on bonus tracks.
think i start now to look for "survivors live "
as gianluigi recommends.
until now i found only one used cd on amazon
and the price is about 132 euros.
not really a bargain.
But i think i will find somebody who owns the cd
and can borrow it to me ,or maybe iam able it to download out of the net.
