From historic Entertainer of the Year wins to surprising onstage antics, this photo gallery looks back at 10 of the CMA Awards' biggest moments.

Many celebrities and public figures have been immortalized in wax by the famous Madame Tussauds -- including a number of country stars! 

On Oct. 13, 1980, Cash was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It's absolutely spectacular.

On Oct. 10, 1970, Cash's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" landed at No. 1.

These country couples know the meaning of "'til death do us part."

His performance of "Stick That in Your Country Song" wouldn't have happened without it.

He was known as the "Father of the Drums."

On Sept. 12, 2003, Cash passed away after suffering complications from diabetes.

It seems crazy that the Man in Black never won a trophy, but there's a reason.

When tragedies happen, we turn to music to help us cope with the emotional aftermath.

Cash's late-career comeback reached another peak on July 24, 2003.
