#18: Johnny Cash and His Son John Carter Cash – Las Vegas, 1973

In 1973, country legend Johnny Cash gave Las Vegas one of its most memorable family moments when he invited his 3-year-old son, John Carter Cash, to the stage. Dressed in a tiny suit, the young Cash sang “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” instantly becoming the youngest person ever to make a Las Vegas nightclub debut.
