Here we have a legendary performance from The Johnny Cash Show on ABC from 1970....the sensational Carter Family, the unforgettable Statler Brothers, and of course the one and only Man in Black, the great Johnny Cash.
I love how this song has such a strong basis on his family life when he was young. He lost his brother when he was young. RIP Johnny Cash, my role model, join the family circle at the throne.
To Noah Doolan-I'm with yo- u, brother. I'm old school as well. I grew up in the 70s & 80s listening to Johnny Cas h, Kenny Rogers, etc. To me country music died when G arth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lorrie Morgan & others cam e along.
WIth the sad passing of Harold Reid yesterday, only two people in this clip are left alive. See you in the family circle at the throne, Harold. RIP Harold Reid, Lew DeWitt, Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Mother Maybelle, Anita Carter, and Helen Carter.
What a classic video. All of the Carter family girls and the early Statler brothers, whom Johnny gave them their big boost to stardom. Johnny helped so many. RIP Johnny.
Listen to this song every time a family member or friend passes. Something about singing makes a loss less painful. "One of these days, and it won't be long, I'll rejoin them in a song. I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne. In the sky, Lord, in the sky."
According to Johnny himself, the line "Me and little brother will join right in there" was written by Carl Perkins about his brother, Jack, who died when they were both boys.
I heard that Johnny Cash wrote that song while he was still married, so he gave the credit to June so his ex-wife wouldn't get any profit from it. I understand that perfectly. And Johnny was taking drugs before he even met June Carter, so calm down, misinformed people in the comments section. June was great for Johnny. They had a deep and real love. No one can ever take that away from them.
My family used to sit in the living room singing this when I was a kid, 10 of us in all, still brings a lump to my throat, especially since 2 of my brothers have gone ahead of us
I'm Ukrainian by birth. Moved to Canada at the age of 24 . I'm 43 now. And although i could not have possibly had any exposure to johnny cash culture .... I love every song of his. The meaning , the melody and his charisma !! He's the best . One of my favorite singers . And through me , my daughters got thoroughly acquainted with Him ! They love him too
A few days before my grandma died, she explained the meaning of this song while it was playing. She was a huge Johnny Cash fan. I was touched by the meaning, especially when she was just diagnosed with cancer and in hospice. She wasn’t one to be sentimental either. The next morning she had a horrible stroke that made her unable to communicate and she rapidly declined from there. When she was getting close to passing, but not able to let go, I kept humming this song to her. I didn’t know the melody 100% but I improvised. It was the meaning and intent that mattered. My aunt got into too if I remember right. This was a pivotal moment when we expressed acceptance of her passing and that we’ll be okay. She finally died about an hour later. We were relieved for her, and celebrated by playing her absolute favorite songs One Bourbon One Scotch and Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood. Yesterday, 5/2/19, was 7 years since her passing 🌤💐 HEY Oddone! Stop looking at me! You looked at me first!! 😜 You know I *might* actually miss you if you weren’t intruding in my dreams so much! Don’t you have better things to do?😂 Love you so much Grandma!!! 💕💕💕
If her favourite songs were Bad to the Bone and One Bourbon, One Scotch,... by George Thoroughgood, you had one heck of a top cool gran. Sorry for your loss.
I am going to see George Thorogood in May. I have set a reminder on my phone to think of your grandma during the show. I'm glad you had peace with her passing.
I've been given that "wtf?!" look too by people when driving, but crap em'! I don't care! I will always blast Johnny Cash, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Roy Orbison, Ritchie Valens, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holley, Big Bopper and all the other great pioneers of Rock n' Roll/Country music of the 50's n 60's. Even though I was born in 92', I want people to remember the classic stars who's lights have always shined bright and who's music never died despite what Don McLean said lol.
And I always cherish people who blasts the good old music while driving! I was born in the 80s but a part of my musical soul belongs to the good music...
I love the 80's too! 50's through early 90's. When I'm driving there's no telling what I'm blaring out of my car. It could be Johnny Cash, Alice Cooper, Sly & The Family Stone, Prince, Rod Stewart, Hall & Oates... You get the picture lol. I love all the genres and decades. Except for today's. I used to like it, but my freshman year of high school I bought a Billy idol cd, and that all changed! I dug into every decade and found the music I really loved (:
coming from a guy who grew up in New York and listens strictly to heavy metal and old-school rap, Johnny Cash is the fucking man ! Disclaimer That girl is an absolute smokeshow
Johnny and June are now in that glorious circle. I can't wait to sing with them in Heaven. Yes, I believe in Jesus and the fact that there is a reward after this.
+raleighman3000 Don't tell people they're wrong for what they believe, grow up. And I don't believe in God by the way, that doesn't mean I'm unable to have even a shred of respect for the belief of those that do. And that goes for any religion, from Islam to Jainism and everything in between. People like you are just as bad as the religious zealots that tell everyone they're going to hell for not sharing their beliefs.
+raleighman3000 why are you commenting that. You don't actually know that know body knows that so do not tell anyone to grow up. That is there belief, mine and many others. Then there are many people who don't believe and that is yours. Saying to grow up to a believe is like saying grow up to someone else who does not believe. It is a matter of an opinion and that is all. Please be considerate of that thank you. (Yes this is mine)
"I remember when I was a lad Times were hard and things were bad But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud Just poor people, that's all we were Tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul One of these days it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne Oh no, the circle won't be broken By and by, Lord, by and by Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky I remember after work Mama would call in all of us You could hear us singin' for a country mile Now little brother has done gone on But, I'll rejoin him in a song We'll be together again up yonder in a little while Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul One of these days it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne Oh, no the circle won't be broken By and by, Lord, by and by Daddy sang bass Mama sang tenor Me and little brother would join right in there In the sky, Lord, in the sky Yes in the sky, Lord, in the sky"
Yes, none of us ever really die...cause as the Bible says, "and he being dead yet speaketh" (Heb. 11:4). We all cast an influence, even after we're dead and gone!! :)
My favorite songs: -Daddy Sang Bass (Duh) -Folsom Prison Blues -Cocaine Blues -Ring Of Fire -I Got Stripes -24 Minutes To Go -Orange Blossom Special -Busted -And every single gospel song by him 😊 Love his music 😄😄
the slight swing in june's line is way better on this live than on any recording i've found. love it. her smile is also brilliant. i've been sitting here smiling for ages like an idiot !
I think the original was Jan Howard, so for whatever reason June didn't sing the original line, which is why it sounds better here, no disprespect to Jan Howard!
My mom attached herself to this song when we finally lost my grandma. She had finally lost both of her parents. I lost both of my grandparents. I too now cling to this song and I don't have her memories, but it kill me to think that someday, I will lose my parents, too.
*A Bit of Trivia : In the original recording of Daddy Sang Bass, it is Jan Howard who sings " Mama Sang Tenor ". Everyone assumes it is June Carter because it is her in the Live Shows.*
I bet Elvis presley Johnny cash a Merle Haggard are all resting w God now they were all very religious believeing men a never ever forgot where they came from a what God a their raising bring poor meant to them all. Very good spirtural singers a great men.
Johnny Cash really turned country music into a huge, wonderful thing. I wish we had someone like him now. I don't think I've listened to new country music since Hannah Montana. And that was the thin end of the wedge.
Really didn't like country until I discovered Johnny. I knew his Ring of Fire song , but I couldn't name another song he did. This last year, I turned 50 and decided to watch Little House of Prairie. Johnny and his wife were guest stars on season 3 episode 1. I was blown away with Johnny's acting performance, so I dug deeper into his music. For the first time in 50 years I can say that I am now interested in country music and it all started with Johnny Cash. What an awesome talent he was.
Walked into the BX at Nha Trang AB,Vietnam in May 1970. Over the loudspeaker I heard, "Daddy sang base, Mama sang tenor. . ." That was my introduction to Vietnam.
One of the first Cash songs i ever heard. When i was a little kid,my dad used to get the whole family sat in the lounge and he'd sing and play this on his guitar while we all twizzled umbrellas in tune! So many years ago,but the memory is oh so clear.
The day right before school started, Tuesday August 16th, my mom died from breast cancer… Me, my dad, and my little sister all went to the hospital to go visit- At least, my Dad said, “She isn’t doing too well.” When we drove to the hospital to see. I didn’t really imagine that she COULD die, but while looking for a spot I got a text from someone I knew from church, and she said something along the lines of, ‘I’m sorry to hear about your mother…’ And when we parked and got out to go to the lobby, we met the chaplain, who told us she was at peace. We travel to the room where she died, where her body was on the gurney… Not breathing or moving. I’m still devastated, and on top of that, my dad found out he got laid off of work… But anyway, on the car ride home, this song came on. And I just know that, one day when Jesus comes back, I’ll see her once again. I only fear that she may not be accepted to go to Heaven, but all I can do is wait.
Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash - what a great freaking team and what a great freaking SONG. I can listen to this song 100 times a day and reflect on my own family and the family I might have one day.
Life was hard back in the 50s, but people were United and family was strong, now we got phones, hot water at any time, plenty of food, but families are broken and depressed cause we lost faith in our Lord.
All of Johnny songs will forever be classics my cousin Johnny did family proud. Miss him highly much and can't believe he is gone but all of our Rivers family is just about all gone. Only three main family members left when they gone I will be so lost am so hoping to one day be reunited with them in all in the sky when it's my time to go
I had just read in a Country Music Article last week that this was the NO.1 Gospel Song of the 20th Century! Thanks Mr. Johnny Cash and writer Carl Perkins. This is purely beautiful! No one has ever been bigger than Johnny Cash in any form of music!
I once had a limited collectors edition magazine that was only about johnny cash. I wish I hadn't got rid of it. I often wonder how much it would of been worth if I sold it last year or earlier this year.
If you love this song, and don't know the meaning of it, you may enjoy hearing it. Basically Johnny had problems with his parents, and when he was a child his brother died in an accident, which his parents blamed him for. He always listened to the radio with his brother, who wanted to be a country singer, and they enjoyed listening to young June Carter on the grand ol opry. Johnny became a country singer instead of his brother, and met and fell in love with (or was already in love with ) June Carter. They had a rocky start and divorces from other marriages before eventually marrying each other. Johnny kicked drugs with the help of June and her mother Maybelle, one of the original members of the Carter family, essentially Country music's most famous early recording act. June's mother Maybelle is standing right next to her on stage. Her two sisters are standing next to her. The Statler brothers are the backup singers. Carl Perkins was a long time family friend of both June, and Johnny. They had all been on tour as friends as far back as the 50's, and in 1965 Carl started touring with them, featured as a singer and performer but also playing with the band at times (Carl was a fantastic guitarist). Newly Sober Johnny helped Carl quit drinking. In 1967 while on tour, Carl Perkins wrote this song about the family atmosphere of the tour, and essentially making Johnny part of MAYBELLE's family, instead of his own. So Johnny's singing in the song, with his mother and father (Maybelle and her husband), with his older brother. "Little Brother has done gone on, but I'll rejoin him in a song, we'll be together again up yonder in a little while" touches on his brother's death as a child, now perpetually his little brother instead of his older brother. This was Carl's way of thanking the legendary Carter family for helping save his friend John's life, as well as his own, and essentially acknowledging that John was now part of the Carter family. Johnny explained this in his autobiography, it has nothing to do with Carl, he wrote it specifically for Johnny. The end with "Will the Circle be Unbroken" is lifted from the Carter Family's most famous song, a gospel song they added lyrics to in the 1930's I believe. So Maybelle Carter, who played the guitar on the original record, is standing on stage with her family all around her as Johnny basically dreams he was her son.... This is more than anything, a wonderful sign of respect he's showing his mother in law. Written by the great Carl Perkins, and that's the gist of what he was getting at.
My daddy Passed away last year. July 1st 2023. I cry almost every week. I look at strangers and think to myself would it be wrong of me to ask that dad over there for a hug? Would it be wrong of me to sit at the park and just cry? I miss him more than anything. I just wish someone would see how much im hurting. I needed him and now hes gone...
"Will the circle be unbroken by and by lord by and by" We used to sing this in church all the time when people were getting prayed for. Pentecostal. Seriously had no idea it was a johnny cash song at the time!
The original was written by the Carter Family (Maybelle in the back left beside June and her sister, and brother in law) in the 1930's, it's considered one of the earliest country songs, and of course a gospel song. So churches have sang that song well before the johnny Cash version, he's singing a gospel song inside this song. Peace out!
God hearing this makes me think of my papa. We used to sing it in the truck when I was having a bad day..RIP papa. Your little kidaroo loves you so much and hopes you’re up in heaven so you can be free.

I will Always love you. 💋
They're not just pretending to be country. They are real, true, authentic country.
True true. This is real country music along with other oldschool country artists
Actually, Johnny didn't like being qualified as country. He didn't wanna be tied to any genre but felt closer to rock n roll than anything.
Real country !
To Noah Doolan-I'm with yo- u, brother. I'm old school as well. I grew up in the 70s & 80s listening to Johnny Cas h, Kenny Rogers, etc. To me country music died when G arth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lorrie Morgan & others cam e along.
Amen
June looks so happy every time she says "mama sang tenor" lol
He joined the family circle at the throne...
He did that 11 years before this comment which took me 4 almost 5 years to reply to.
Amen to that! I can’t wait to join, too!

While Cash is great I give King Of Country to Hank Williams because he was one of the first to kick off Country Music
WIth the sad passing of Harold Reid yesterday, only two people in this clip are left alive. See you in the family circle at the throne, Harold. RIP Harold Reid, Lew DeWitt, Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Mother Maybelle, Anita Carter, and Helen Carter.
The Statler Brothers did pretty good for themselves as well!
jomamadressesufunny Hey, yes they did. But nevertheless they got an enormous push by JRC on his shows. /CD
The Statler Brothers were my Mom's favorites and I never knew they sang backup for Johnny. I had heard their version for many years and loved it.

That's music, deserves to be on TV, and what we have today instead, music destroyed by various biebers, gagas, ashians.. disgrace.
2023 anyone?
I'll never forget seeing this live with my family.
I enjoy listening to this song over and over again. One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs!
Same
I sang this with my choir in St Leonards, Sussex, Uk 2 weeks ago🎵🎶♥️
*A Bit of Trivia : In the original recording of Daddy Sang Bass, it is Jan Howard who sings " Mama Sang Tenor ". Everyone assumes it is June Carter because it is her in the Live Shows.*
Love how he refers to his brother that he lost as his little brother even though he was originally the older brother. R.I.P to all of them
He didn't write this song, Carl Perkins wrote it for him.
I bet Elvis presley Johnny cash a Merle Haggard are all resting w God now they were all very religious believeing men a never ever forgot where they came from a what God a their raising bring poor meant to them all. Very good spirtural singers a great men.
Johnny Cash really turned country music into a huge, wonderful thing. I wish we had someone like him now. I don't think I've listened to new country music since Hannah Montana. And that was the thin end of the wedge.
Really didn't like country until I discovered Johnny. I knew his Ring of Fire song , but I couldn't name another song he did. This last year, I turned 50 and decided to watch Little House of Prairie. Johnny and his wife were guest stars on season 3 episode 1. I was blown away with Johnny's acting performance, so I dug deeper into his music. For the first time in 50 years I can say that I am now interested in country music and it all started with Johnny Cash. What an awesome talent he was.
I was Johnny Cash before the heaven.
I'm come back in this World
Statlers at the background... ❤❤❤
Walked into the BX at Nha Trang AB,Vietnam in May 1970. Over the loudspeaker I heard, "Daddy sang base, Mama sang tenor. . ." That was my introduction to Vietnam.

You can see the emotional impact the line, “Now little brother has done gone home.” had on him, and understandably so.
Carl PERKINS lost his younger brother.
"cos singing seems to help a troubled soul." Beautiful.
One of the first Cash songs i ever heard. When i was a little kid,my dad used to get the whole family sat in the lounge and he'd sing and play this on his guitar while we all twizzled umbrellas in tune! So many years ago,but the memory is oh so clear.
The Truth stands on its own it doesn't have to be defended.. This music speakes for itself it's pure good music 🙏🙏🙏
RIP Johnny and June. Hope God gave you a spot in his angelic choir.
Wow... Johnny Cash, June Carter and the Statler Brothers!!! Awesome. After hearing this I had to go listen to "Flowers on the Wall".
In the background - the very young Statler Quartet (later The Statler Brothers)! :)
The day right before school started, Tuesday August 16th, my mom died from breast cancer… Me, my dad, and my little sister all went to the hospital to go visit- At least, my Dad said, “She isn’t doing too well.” When we drove to the hospital to see. I didn’t really imagine that she COULD die, but while looking for a spot I got a text from someone I knew from church, and she said something along the lines of, ‘I’m sorry to hear about your mother…’ And when we parked and got out to go to the lobby, we met the chaplain, who told us she was at peace. We travel to the room where she died, where her body was on the gurney… Not breathing or moving. I’m still devastated, and on top of that, my dad found out he got laid off of work…
But anyway, on the car ride home, this song came on. And I just know that, one day when Jesus comes back, I’ll see her once again. I only fear that she may not be accepted to go to Heaven, but all I can do is wait.
I cant wait to be in that family circle someday with my lord
Anyone else notice that the men were the Statler Brothers singing backup?
Yup... sans the bass-guy's mustache.
June Carter really completes this track. Outstanding!
ALL LOVE PROPHECIES ARE BEING FULFILLED, NOW!!🛸☀️🌊🕊☯️🦅🌊☀️🛸
@Greg Normal I AM. 🕊🎵🎙💜💜🎙🎵🕊
Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash - what a great freaking team and what a great freaking SONG. I can listen to this song 100 times a day and reflect on my own family and the family I might have one day.
Everyone thinks Anita was the bell of the ball, but dang June had it going on. Johny wasnt a dumb man.
Now Johnny’s singin bass in heaven.
Life was hard back in the 50s, but people were United and family was strong, now we got phones, hot water at any time, plenty of food, but families are broken and depressed cause we lost faith in our Lord.
Christianity is a religion for the gentiles of the Jews it's only holding America back
All of Johnny songs will forever be classics my cousin Johnny did family proud. Miss him highly much and can't believe he is gone but all of our Rivers family is just about all gone. Only three main family members left when they gone I will be so lost am so hoping to one day be reunited with them in all in the sky when it's my time to go
I had just read in a Country Music Article last week that this was the NO.1 Gospel Song of the 20th Century! Thanks Mr. Johnny Cash and writer Carl Perkins. This is purely beautiful! No one has ever been bigger than Johnny Cash in any form of music!
Rip John, June, and Harold...
And Lew
And Vivian
And Maybelle, Helen, and Anita ...
I love Johnny Cash and his beautiful music
Lol that one guy looks like Nik Cage with a stretched face. Yoy know which one I'm talking about.
the one at 1:58 looks like nic cage even more :-P
OGTogepi do you mean Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers??
Fogs yeah thats Harold Reid
I once had a limited collectors edition magazine that was only about johnny cash. I wish I hadn't got rid of it. I often wonder how much it would of been worth if I sold it last year or earlier this year.
Johnny Cash I might be young but he's always been a legend in my heart
God bless you and back at you too
Thank you very much and everybody should love Johnny Cash all the time he was always the best and you always say the best
?
If you love this song, and don't know the meaning of it, you may enjoy hearing it. Basically Johnny had problems with his parents, and when he was a child his brother died in an accident, which his parents blamed him for. He always listened to the radio with his brother, who wanted to be a country singer, and they enjoyed listening to young June Carter on the grand ol opry. Johnny became a country singer instead of his brother, and met and fell in love with (or was already in love with ) June Carter. They had a rocky start and divorces from other marriages before eventually marrying each other. Johnny kicked drugs with the help of June and her mother Maybelle, one of the original members of the Carter family, essentially Country music's most famous early recording act.
June's mother Maybelle is standing right next to her on stage. Her two sisters are standing next to her. The Statler brothers are the backup singers.
Carl Perkins was a long time family friend of both June, and Johnny. They had all been on tour as friends as far back as the 50's, and in 1965 Carl started touring with them, featured as a singer and performer but also playing with the band at times (Carl was a fantastic guitarist). Newly Sober Johnny helped Carl quit drinking. In 1967 while on tour, Carl Perkins wrote this song about the family atmosphere of the tour, and essentially making Johnny part of MAYBELLE's family, instead of his own. So Johnny's singing in the song, with his mother and father (Maybelle and her husband), with his older brother. "Little Brother has done gone on, but I'll rejoin him in a song, we'll be together again up yonder in a little while" touches on his brother's death as a child, now perpetually his little brother instead of his older brother. This was Carl's way of thanking the legendary Carter family for helping save his friend John's life, as well as his own, and essentially acknowledging that John was now part of the Carter family. Johnny explained this in his autobiography, it has nothing to do with Carl, he wrote it specifically for Johnny.
The end with "Will the Circle be Unbroken" is lifted from the Carter Family's most famous song, a gospel song they added lyrics to in the 1930's I believe. So Maybelle Carter, who played the guitar on the original record, is standing on stage with her family all around her as Johnny basically dreams he was her son.... This is more than anything, a wonderful sign of respect he's showing his mother in law.
Written by the great Carl Perkins, and that's the gist of what he was getting at.
Wow, probably the best version of this song I ever heard!
My 4 children and I would all sing this while we were driving on a road trip to the lake! ❤
My grandpa and I used to sing this together all the time.
My daddy Passed away last year. July 1st 2023. I cry almost every week. I look at strangers and think to myself would it be wrong of me to ask that dad over there for a hug? Would it be wrong of me to sit at the park and just cry? I miss him more than anything. I just wish someone would see how much im hurting. I needed him and now hes gone...
Lord have mercy June is such a beauty. Such a great tune and such a great performance.
“Cause singing seems to help a troubled soul.”
Has me remembering my grandparents
Sending this to one of Johnny’s biggest fans, Nick Phelps, from St. Petersburg, FL❤
"Will the circle be unbroken by and by lord by and by"
We used to sing this in church all the time when people were getting prayed for. Pentecostal. Seriously had no idea it was a johnny cash song at the time!
The original was written by the Carter Family (Maybelle in the back left beside June and her sister, and brother in law) in the 1930's, it's considered one of the earliest country songs, and of course a gospel song. So churches have sang that song well before the johnny Cash version, he's singing a gospel song inside this song. Peace out!
Interesting fact: dissing the music of today doesn't make the music of the past any better. Just enjoy Johnny and stop broadcasting how old you are.
Never tire of Johnny
He was instrumental in kick starting the career of The Statler Brothers who can be seen here singing backup for him.
A great tune from a man who was a legend in his lifetime.
I miss you daddy and I hope I'll be singing with you in heaven. You loved Johnny Cash's music so I listen in your honor.
Oh no,that circle will never be broken,once we get to Glory!
God hearing this makes me think of my papa. We used to sing it in the truck when I was having a bad day..RIP papa. Your little kidaroo loves you so much and hopes you’re up in heaven so you can be free.
