- From Nov. 18, 1970, this is one of Maybelle and Sarah Carter's last public performances together. Included are "You Are My Flower" and "I'll Be Satisfied" with the host. Although originally broadcast in color, the copy of the show I have is in black and white, and for this clip it really works.

One cannot overstate the historical significance of that performance and I hope that all who see it truly appreciate the moment...
It's like seeing the Founding Fathers talk about writing the U.S. Constitution on a 1970s TV show.
there are a bunch of other performances, more significant is the one that John Cohen filmed of Maybelle and Sara Performing at the Carter Family old home together several years before this in part to decorate and commemorate Pleasant 's grave, or if someone can find film of it, the last known performance of AP, Sara, and Maybelle at the Jimmie Rodgers commemoration in Meridian somewhere in the 1950s that was seminal to the creation of the Country Music Association
PBS and Ken Burns brought me here. Great documentary. Hope everyone is watching
its stunning to realise what these two women are responsible for setting in motion
This when country music was more folk than what became called country music.
I love how Johnny asks Aunt Sara for permission to join them. How many performers would give anything to be a on a stage with Johnny, but amongst the Carters, it's Johnny who asks tp be there.
He was being polite and appropriate with someone he knew was not comfortable with performing in a setting like this, someone he had respected since childhood and someone who was the sister of his mother in law. Maybelle was his mother in law, more importantly, she was the person who saved him from completely destroying his life from drug addiction, drinking and womanizing. At a certain stage he just came to her like she was his mother and did what she told him to put himself back together. There would not have been the Johnny Cash of the Johnny Cash show if it had not been for her making what we would call today an intervention in his life. She had enormous respect in the Nashville Country music milieu at that time both as a musician and someone with her head screwed on right, even though her career really fell so far that she worked for a while in Nashville as a nurse's aide in a hospital to make ends meet.
@@writerrad Maybelle was his mother in law, Not Sara
HOLY COW!! I haven't heard of a video of both Sarah and Mother Maybelle until just now. I was in Vietnam and was I a homesick hillbilly. It's this mountain music that kept me sane. Many thanks from this old vet for the posting.
There is a much better video on Foilkstreams made by the late John Cohen of performances that Maybelle and Sara did at the Carter Family Fold in the mid 1960s when Sarah came East to decorate Pleasant's grave there.
Thanks for serving Gramps !
Thanks old vet this is awesome 👌
When AP, Sarah and Maybelle sang together it sounded like Heaven. It's hard to imagine that modern country music has drifted so far from its roots, now country music sounds like modern pop/rock songs. I can't imagine that there are too many people playing old time music except for the Bluegrass groups and maybe a few artists.
This may be as close as we ever get to seeing the original trio sing on video. What an inestimable treasure.
What a piece of country music history...love it :-)
The Carters have been the biggest influence on me musically... you can't find any music anywhere any better than this.
Maybelle has the most amazing eyes!
This is the first time I have ever seen this. Crying and laughing at the same time. Magnificent.
this is music history. they are so ordinary, yet so talented. this is an such an important document. 2 fabulous ladies.
Maybelle uses a flat pick on "You are my flower" but switches to the Carter Scratch on "I'll be satisfied". She played 3 styles according to her daughter Helen (flat pick on songs like this and "Coal Miners Blues" or "Red Wing"; Carter Scratch on songs like "Wildwood Flower" or "Will the Circle be Unbroken; and a combination of picking up and cross switching with a bit of the scratch style on songs like "Cannonball Blues"... With you on how priceless this is...
Wow- that second song- It's amazing how something so simple can be so powerful-
It was rare to see footage of Sara Carter she went missing for far too long and i feel great sadness for her for all the years she was away from her family and not been able to share her talent with the world for all those lost years, i am so greatfull to Johnny Cash for getting Sara back with Maybelle towards the end of her life, without him Sara would never of been seen again he even got Sara and Maybelle to record a new album together and even as old ladys that album was amazing!
Sarah did not like performing in public period. She didnt like it, and did not care to do it after 1941. It was very awkward given the reality of a divorce between herself and Pleasant in the late 1930s, but even before then she did not like public performances. She was by all accounts quite happy, kept in touch with the rest the family, and even dropped in a few times to Va to check up on Pleasant, and she wrote a few songs that Maybelle and her daughters performed.
Tony Thomas Do you happen to know what some of those songs Sara wrote that the Carter sisters sang? I’d love to look into those
@@colinhaines6652 Railroading on the great divide is the only real example. You get the picture Sarah was pretty much glad to be out of the music business living a fairly comfortable life in California. She wasn't playing music or anything. She didnt trumpet that she had done this. One or two times when she mentioned she had been a recording artist to neighbors, they were shocked. This wasnt what she wanted to do apparently and perhaps it reminded her of her failed marriage to Pleasant
Tony Thomas yes, she was very happy out of the music business. I believe that for years her best friend Gladys in California had no clue she was a part of the Carter Family. I believe she still enjoyed music, no doubt, just not the business
@@tonythomas8937 She and her husband, Coy Bayes, drove cross-country, pulling a little trailer, to visit for a while with Maybelle and Ezra in Tennessee, then on to Virginia. I asked her once why she didn't move back and she said, "Well, I have a mother-in-law in California..."
Love how they all were singing together! Not too long ago I was watching Cash and the Carter Family singing “Were You There?” on TH-cam. Happy to have found this!
You can see he absolutely adored them...so sweet
I'm just grateful that recordings like these have found a place to survive. I played this over and over and was amazed each time. I know I saw this as a kid; but, I also know there's no way I could have appreciated it then as I do now. Thank goodness I had a second chance!
This video is so precious. Like many other Carter Family fans, I have hundreds of their recordings that I enjoy over and over. I have no idea how many versions of Wildwood Flower I have. My dad and I used to watch the Johnny Cash show together. Mother Maybelle was always my favorite whenever she was on TV in the 60's and early 70's. But this was special. I think they sound perfect here. The grass is just as green the sky is just as blue...
So beautiful! I love the Carter Family's music! This was a treat to watch!
Mám je také ráda,ale zpěv Sáry se mi tady nelíbí
I think kingbee said it well. This is a last chance to see the great folks who contributed so much perform again!
Enjoying this in 2023!!!
Thankful to share the same mountain soil as these ladies. Their music and voice can still be heard in the churches and music halls of Appalachia, haunting and ethereal.
What a miracle to have this moment preserved.
Pure, unproduced, talent. An absolute pleasure.
That was, without a doubt, one of the finest things I've ever viewed on TH-cam. When June stepped in I almost fell off my chair. WOW....to have been there to see & hear those titans....!!
Thanks so much for posting this!!
He was pretty much rescued from drug addiction and alcoholism by Maybelle Carter and her husband, Maybelle and her daughters regularly performed with them
God bless all three of them
I always loved listening to The Carter Family. Some of the best country and gospel music there ever was.
This video is a real treasure!
So wonderful 5*****
And Mike, thank you very much for sending it.
This is so great, and it's always wonderful to see Mother Maybelle playing guitar. When I began learning to play guitar more than 40 years ago back home in Eastern Kentucky, you had to know how to play at lease a little Carter Family music. Every guitar picker I knew could play "Wildwood Flower," and I still play that beautiful song to this day.
This is fantastic.I adore Sara's voice.
History at its finest. Pure treasure. And nicely done in having the sisters sing together and then with Johnny. Wow.
🌼Thoughts to A.P.♥️ Respect & RIP to all. What a loss🌼
It is so natural and beautiful. Tanks
Sara fell in love with Coy Bayes, but his family moved him to California and intercepted her letters. So Sara sang "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes" on one of their broadcasts. He heard it and told his family he was going to go get Sara.
Ohhhh, aunt Sarah and Mother Maybelle... This IS mountain music! I'm 49, but I grew up with this kind of music! The Carter Family, Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, Ralph Stanley...
abargle I remember how excited my father was when we watched this original broadcast in 1970..Daddy was a huge Carter Family Fan..Because He grew up in Ceres Va. and was about an hour away fro the old AP Carter Homeplace in Maces Springs,Va ..:)
The beauty and honesty bring tears to my eyes. Simply perfect.
Thank you for posting this. It is a pleasure to watch. This video is a national treasure for sure!
Great! Sara Carter...what a voice! Amazing.
I love to see the Carter Family hall of fame plaque at the end.
pure legends
They were so great!
Absolutely beautiful!
THIS WAS GREAT TO LISTEN TO
This brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.
What a sweet song. Love it!
They did a great job.
The guitar skills of Maybelle
never cease to impress me!
Oh how I love the Carters and Johhny
Cash and June ! I got chills when they sang with Johnny and June!
Thank you for posting this!
this is the best thing I've ever seen!
legends
This is phenomenal. Why can't you buy the entire Johnny Cash Show, not just the 'greatest of' dvd? This video should possibly be in the Smithsonian Institute. This is American culture.
So much character in their voices.
That was gooder than snuff and not half as dusty! LOL ! So glad to see and hear this. Thanks.
Incredible....thank you. I met June Carter in Vancouver in the 80s at a function to do with work. I'll never forget it.
Awesome! Love and respect for these two beautiful and talented ladies. Thank you for your music!
I think it's good that people had the absolute respect to be quiet when they started both songs, today everyone screams
Thanks very much for sharing, five stars !
What a treasure! Thanks for posting one of the last performances of these two legendery women.
Great to see John taking up Alvin’s place in that gospel tune...sounds good!
Lap board yes, it’s a shame though that Pleasant wasn’t there to sing with them. I know if A.P. Had lived just a few more years he would’ve finally seen his music become so popular again. He would’ve been very happy
This is about the time I heard the original recordings for the first time and I really wasn't sure what to make of it....it sounded strange but also haunting and appealing.
And fifty years later Sara in particular is as stoic and unsmiling as in the early group photograph.
sara did not like to perform in public, to be photographed or any of that, and was in a terrible marriage to Pleasant that she finally left. She did not seek to be an entertainer after the contractual obligations to Peer ended in 1942., She did not tell people she knew in California necessarily that she had been a singer or musician. She was glad to be away from to all accounts
@@writerrad That must have been hard for Janette and Joe. They stayed and founded the Carter Family Fold in keeping the promise to AP.
Yowza! That was amazingly grand.
THANKFUL ...
Excellent, always got time for Mother Maybelle. What a fantastic talent, and a lovely lady from what I can ascertain. Thanks for putting this up.
Just think of performing for over 50 years and still being able to knock it out of the park like this!!! Think any of the modern country "rocker" wannabes will still be around that long?
My goodness, what a wonderful video. You made my day!
This video is so dang good I'm about to get teary-eyed. Sara's voice is still powerful, and Maybelle's guitar playing is still outta this world. Her descending notes on that first song just sing out perfectly. Johnny performed top notch, June too. Thanks for the link!
Maybelle played three different styles of guitar (a fourth if you include her work on slide "Little Darling Pal of MIne"). She is most associated with the Carter Scratch as on the second song "I'll be Satisfied" (thumb picking melody two fingers with metal picks playing rhythm, the flat pick which she used on songs like "Coal Miner's Blues" or "You are My Flower", and an upward picking style as in "Cannonball Blues" similar to what you would do with a banjo (using thumb and 2 finger picks).
love it
it doesn't get any better than this - the carter women shred - and of course johnny
Thank you for posting. Very lovely. Bless you.
Einmalige Stimmen schade sind sie nicht mehr hier. Ich Liebe sie.Ruhet im Frieden und danke für ales.
Country music royalty!
Amazing1 What a joy to watch!
What beautiful harmonies and wonderful lead guitar work by Mother Maybelle and her sister, Sara!
Beautiful!
@docsavage98 Maybelle used a flatpick quite a lot. I remember seeing her using one off-and-on during a performance, and she always kept one stuck between the stings on the headstock, even in the early days.
Can you just imagine what was going through Sarah's head, sitting on stage at the Opry on national TV, with a full orchestra, JC & The Statlers behind her, having been retired from music for nearly 20 years?
she never liked it when they were in VA. She probably needed the money. She did this only three or four times including once in the mid 50s when she and Pleasant and Maybelle performed.
@@writerrad Probably right, and the money wasn't that great. The Cash show paid only minimum AF of M and AFTRA-SAG scale (like most other network programs, artists did the show mainly for the publicity value.) Even Merle Travis, who created and wrote many segments during the show's run, got only a couple of hundred bucks per episode.
An American treasure...nuff said.
Thanks for the wonderful upload.
This is what I always will consider country music. The shit today is unrecognizable!
Just a simple thanks for this posting. Saved for posterity.
Maybelle was so beautiful.
Thank you! I was looking for this record for years!
thank you...: )
50 years since broadcast. Still a gem.
Thanks for this! Maybelle is my 4th cousin!
what happened to the first 3?
Ashley Godbee she is my 2nd cousin and namesake
If Maybelle is your 4th cousin, so is Sara.
Thank you so much for this! It reminds me so much of my early growing up years and the music that meant so much to my parents and grandparents!
Amazing!
Until viewing this clip, I never realized how much Janette Carter looked like her mother Sara. I treasure memories of seeing some of Janette Carter's final performances at the Carter Family Fold in Virginia.
When Helen started singing on the last chorus and Maybelle nodded her head.. That got me in the gut!
your right!!!!! the carter family rocks!!! Lol
MY OLD HOMEPLACE IS ABOUT FIVE MILES FROM NICKLESVILLE/VIRGINIA##MOTHER MAYBELLES BIRTHPLACE!!
Schade ist diese Zeit schon vorbei .
All comments are welcome, even those with which I disagree. But a potty-mouth will get your comment deleted so fast it will make your head spin. Please observe courtesy, thank you.
poop!
Amen! Yes, Jesus! I’ll be satisfied! ❤️🙏🏼
