Considering many country legends such as Haggard, Owens, Jennings, Nelson, Hank Jr. and others see him as an inspiration and influence on the genre and themselves. I would say that with Hank Sr. both are in the GOAT category of country music.
When Hank Sr. died, that left a huge vacuum in Nashville. Both Hank and Lefty were battling it out for hit after hit but when Hank died and Lefty in decline, Nashville needed someone to fill those shoes in a bad way. Elvis was invited to the Opry but he was deemed too radical and wasn't invited again. Cash stepped in and while Nashville didn't particularly like Cash when he signed with Columbia, country music was on the brink of being off the radio for good in the mid 50s by this new sound of rock and roll.
So Nashville had no choice but to get behind Cash.

That hack took a boring song, changed it and were big hits twice in two separate decades. That $75,000 paid in court was all worth the trouble as now decades later the song is being covered by countless artists.
