How do you begin to describe to talent, the honesty, the beauty of these two deeply talented ladies. I am very grateful to be able to watch this live footage of these two beautiful talented ladies!
These two amazing ladies are the foundation stones of country and folk music. To me, everyone else lies in their shadow. Their greatness in music history can't be fully described. They were very, very special people.
This song is so beautiful, it's makes me cry. I can imagine the poor mountain people in their simple and trusting way worshipping the Lord. You would have to have a heat as hard as Pharoh's if this song doesn't move you.
I know this song from Joan Baez's early album...as a child... Beautiful song. did not "discover" the Carter family until I was in college...their early recordings, not including this rendition.
Away by the river so clear, The ladies were winding their way, While Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water To bathe in the cool of the day. Before it was dark, she opened the ark And found the sweet infant was there. Before it was dark, she opened the ark And found the sweet infant was there. And away by the waters so blue, The infant was lonely and sad; She took him in pity and thought him so pretty, And it made little Moses so glad. She called him her own, her beautiful son, And sent for a nurse that was near. And away by the river so clear, They carried that beautiful child, To his own tender mother, his sister and brother, Little Moses looked happy and smiled. His mother, so good, done all that she could To rear him and teach him with care. And away by the sea that was red, Little Moses, the servant of God, While in Him confided, the sea was divided As upwards he lifted his rod. The Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host Was drownded in the waters and lost. And away on the mountain so high, The last one that ever did see, While in his victorious, his hope was most glorious, He'd soon o'er the Jordan be free. When his labors did cease, he departed in peace, And rested in the Heavens above. ~Unknown
A thousand years from now people will still be listening to the Carters..:) "There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported" -(KJV Bible: Ecclesiasticus 44:8)
I’ve only just discovered. The carter family and I’m blown away by their music and I’ve never been a country music fan but their music makes me think of how America was good and wholesome.
This is such a wonderful song. I wish I had a time machine and I would film the original Carter family, including AP. I guess they are performing in the great gig in the sky with Jimi Rodgers and Hank Williams together with Helen, June and Anita
Apparently they would just sit on the grass in front of AP and Sarah's house to practice before their next recording. If I had a time machine, that's my first stop
It's called a Guitaro. Made by Oscar Schmidt company in the early sixties. You can wear it with a strap like a guitar and you don't have to cross your hands to play it. They have become pretty rare lately.
The guys in red applauding at the end are Teddy and Doyle Wilburn, and this clip was from the WILBURN BROTHERS SHOW when Sarah and Maybelle were the special guests. Lots of interesting music on that show, but this appearance was a landmark.
I love this music I find it so interesting how Sara's voice was highly pitched when she first started singing then after many years changed into a deep alto
Maybe she sang like that in the earliest recordings because she recording executives wanted her to? I listened to one of those early recordings yesterday, it was from 1927. Ten years later, she sang with her trademark contralto. I don't think it really dropped, she just switched into a register she was more comfortable singing in. When she grew old, her voice acquired that raspy quality, probably due to decades of smoking. An interesting voice, for certain.
This song is being sung on the Wilburn Brothers TV show that was on every week. The original Wilburn's was the four brothers singing, later just to Teddy & Doyle, check out their CDs.
Not surprising that representatives of the most formidable death cult of alltime should consistently produce music as heavy as just about anything you'll hear.
Sara looks a bit like Edith Bunker in this clip. The other one just so happens to be one of the greatest guitar players to ever pick up the instrument. Both great Americans.
thank you. I agree there are many millionaires who owe these ladies. at June's funeral a DVD was made titled anchored in love. on it some stars actually did wonderful revordings. one by Loretta Lynn and one by Emmy Lou Harris were especially good. get it and listen.
I wonder if Sara was a smoker. I’ve never read anywhere that she was, but in the days before it was proven to be medically dangerous, many folks smoked, both men and women. I say that because over the years her voice gets deeper and deeper, even a bit raspy. But anything she sings is fabulous. I believe a couple of the verses are missing from this song about Moses and the Pharoah, yes? Anyhow, thanks for posting. Great song.
Joi Jackson Perle the year was 1966, or 1967. They recorded an album in 66 and Maybelle was able to talk Sara into TV performances. I’d guess 66 but some videos label it 67.
As a Christian, I must defend “the harlot” by saying that the Lord told us not to judge lest we be judged. You can judge her actions to be wrongful, but you cannot claim that she is this, that, or the other because that is judging her personally. I am saddened at the thought that the marriage of Sara and A.P. Carter broke up. And apparently it happened because of Sara’s affair with A.P.’s cousin. But we have not walked in her shoes; nor do we know if she repented sincerely and received the Lord’s forgiveness. Both these ladies are musical superstars, but the state of their souls is something only God can judge.

Along with Jimmie Rodgers.
Could these ladies ever imagine that their music would be so relevant and generally popular in 2019? Not to mention the technology used to share it.
It now the future...Oct 2022...almost 2023.....and still these 2 ladies and their music is relevant and it Matters.
God shed his grace on America and here is musical evidence of it. Love these two ladies. Thank you for posting.
Amazingly rare footage of two legends of Country Music.
The Original Carter Family: The very foundation of country music
I feel it's more folk than country
Sara’s voice still as beautiful as ever !
Fantastic and magical. If you are a country fan, you're looking at and listening to the greatest of them all.
This song is so beautiful, it's makes me cry. I can imagine the poor mountain people in their simple and trusting way worshipping the Lord. You would have to have a heat as hard as Pharoh's if this song doesn't move you.
Sorry, ERRATUM: "You would have to have a heart as hard as Pharaoh if this song doesn.t move you."
todd holmes Amen.🙏

Like taking a trip in a time machine to a beautiful, interesting & very different America
Sara was such a great singer with a beautiful plaintive voice so real. thanks for posting✌️👍👏👏👏👏👏
I never ever tire of watching this.

While Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water
To bathe in the cool of the day.

And found the sweet infant was there.

Was drownded in the waters and lost.

The last one that ever did see,
While in his victorious, his hope was most glorious,
He'd soon o'er the Jordan be free.
When his labors did cease, he departed in peace,

its kinda mind-boggling how many millionaires owe their careers to these two little old ladies.
rockhard ft
And more than half are too dumb to realize it.
@@joelspears3106 Knock it off.
Especially Ralph Peer. Sara Said “We Made Peer Millions.”
God bless the Wilburn Brothers for putting this on their TV show.
A thousand years from now people will still be listening to the Carters..:)

Now this is country music! Such a great song! Great job ladies!
that carter family has mesmerized me and fascinated me since i first hear them in my late teens - they are magic - pure spiritual music

Sarah Best Country Singer of All Time

Love this so much Love from Scotland 🏴
Wonderful. Some blessings are eternal.
have never heard a more beautiful song
Beautiful! The Originals! Thanks for posting! I did see the original broadcast!
Roy Bodden Lucky you! I’m glad to see it here 😊
Sound so beautiful by two beautiful ladies
I love Sarah's autoharp!!! She must have had that custom made....it's half guitar and half autoharp.

God, I don't know what to think. AMAZING.
The best of the greatest. Ever!
Oops any way thanks for posting. I always enjoy the Carter Family. This was as original as you could get!
Priceless.
Beautiful and that's real country and folk. That autoharp Sarah plays is very unusual. The usually not shaped like that.
It's an Oscar Schmidt 'Guitaro' autoharp.

It is mostly due to her heavy smoking.
More like a baritone. Her voice is deeper than Johnny Cash, she should sing Folsom Prison Blues.

Oh my, ,there so good
Love them!

"The other one" is Maybelle Carter
thank you. I agree there are many millionaires who owe these ladies. at June's funeral a DVD was made titled anchored in love. on it some stars actually did wonderful revordings. one by Loretta Lynn and one by Emmy Lou Harris were especially good. get it and listen.

I saw it too on RFDTV a great evevnt
So there is no film of Sara playing guitar? And nothing of the original 3 playing? Darn shame.

Completely enchanted by Sarah and Maybelle and this song. What year do you suppose this was?

It’s interesting seeing a saint and a harlot performing together.

Taylor can sign this?
One of only two known filmed appearances? Isn't there a performance of Sara & Maybelle with Johnny Cash on the JC show?
Yes, there is.

@@TonyWudthere's 2 clips from this day , a TV performance with Johnny Cash and a live performance in 1975
This is obviously colorized. How did they decide on what colors to apply, "after the fact"?
❤️❤️❤️❤️😜😜❤️❤️❤️❤️
that looks like a bunch of marijuana plants..lol..always loved the carter family..
