Johnny’s wife, the legendary June Carter Cash, wrote this song about meeting, falling in love with, and marrying Johnny. She was crazy talented as well. Enjoyed y’all’s reaction.
@@georgec8984 If you happened to watch Walk the Line there is a scene where June is writing this song and the first word in the song is "love". Her love for him was her ring of fire.
Yes, June wrote it about falling in love with Johnny. Her sister, Anita Carter, actually released it 1st, with the original title "(Love's) Ring of Fire." Anita's version didn't do well, so Johnny recorded it soon after.
Johnny Cash did love Mariachi music and did incorporate it into this song. He had always felt the song lent itself to mariachi trumpets. Mexican Ranchera and Mariachi music did have a large influence on Country music early on and throughout the years. You can hear it many Country songs.
@@aaronpatterson2369 Western music is a form of country music composed by and about the people who settled and worked throughout the Western United States and Western Canada. Western music celebrates the lifestyle of the cowboy on the open ranges, Rocky Mountains, and prairies of Western North America. So technically it's still just Country.
@@Teresia12 June Carter wrote the lyrics about her relationship with Johnny Cash. She felt being around Cash was like being in a "ring of fire." Cash was involved in drugs and had a very volatile lifestyle. When she wrote this, both June and Johnny were married, but they became singing partners and close friends. By 1967, Cash and Carter were single again and they got married in 1968. Johnny claimed that June saved his life by helping him.

Hypocrital and narrow minded, absolutely, but these two were both deeply part of the establishment AND very much a subversive presence within the country genre, compared with a lot of their peers; Johnny collaborated with Bob Dylan and recorded songs written by Kris Kristofferson, both very radical and "anti-country" in their own ways.
This song brings back good childhood memories for me!! This was 1 of the records mom would play while she was doing her daily task. I never thought that I would do the same but every now and then I'll play johnny cash, patsy cline , or my moms favorite female country singer which was Loretta Lynn. Thanks for doing these reactions, y'all make my day brighter!!😍❤️
Guys, thanks for the reaction. Love Johnny Cash, and it's great to see people from other generations and genres appreciate what he has brought to the music industry. We should all love great music from many different backgrounds like the two of you do.
So glad you reacted to this 1. It's the first major hit I remember hearing on the radio when I was 3 or 4 years old. It does leave an impression!! R.I.P. to Mr. cash. Johnny was a Staff Sargent in the Air force. SALUTE!! If you have not checked out Home Free's version of this song, you need to.
I was born in 71. My Mom always had music on in the house, and some of the very first music I remember listening to as a child was Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Johnny Cash. I vividly remember this song. Takes me way, way, way back. Was cool seeing you guys react to it 👍
That is the Carter family singing in the background, I suggest you look them up, and play some of their music, I suggest “Wildwood Flower”, and “Keep On The Sunny Side”, cheers.
"Folsom Prison Blues", "Daddy Sang Bass", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", "Man in Black", and "Ragged Old Flag". If you want to know about Johnny's music, these are musts!
One of if not the greatest country music artist of all time...great lyrics, themes, music...the man was and still is a legend...also a great musician that I'm not sure people give him credit for...had his own TV show..hung out with Presidents..TV specials...A Legend !
I remember my neighbor kept playing this song over and over. It was special cause he passed away and that's what I always associate thus song with. Great catchy song.
Mexican trumpets. Recording Company didn't want it. Guess who won...... Written by John's to be wife June Carter and country star Merle Kilgore. First recorded by June's sister Anita. Made famous by John of course. 😀
Johnny thought the song needed latin horns. He told them play something and this is what the played and Johnny said perfect. June wrote it to Johnny when they were still both married to other people
I’m 52 & I think it’s so cool that in the 2020’s people are still discovering & “getting” Saint Johnny’s music 🖤🤤a band named Social Distortion does a great version of this song
You guys just continue to amaze me that you are so willing to go to all different kinds of genres. That's so awesome, You Guys are FIRE! thanks for the reaction:)
You two are very good together! I like your videos! You seem to enjoy each other’s company and make me smile the way you interact…. Keep up the good work!
No he is not saying, "Love sucks!"....He (actually his wife June wrote the song) was saying love is powerful, passionate, something you can't readily control or resist.
I don’t think he’s talking about love going bad. He’s talking about their love being so intense it burns continuously, it burns so hot, that flame of love never burns out!❤
A cover version of this song was on the music loop tape when I worked in a UK supermarket at weekends in 1972/73. While I was still at school. Must be a good song as I still like it all these years later. 👍😉
Tks for another legendary talent and character. Lots of good recommendations below. His life documentary is worth viewing and his version of "Hurt" will blow your mind. Always love your analysis from fresh ears 💕
love those old videos. did you notice when they showed the trumped players? today they would be replaced by one guy on a keybord, and he wouldn't been shown. (hope there haven't been too much typos)
You want bass vocals? Like some DEEP bass. Check out Home Free's cover of this song! Tim Foust is their bass singer, known as a "basso profundo". (I've never heard notes this deep!) They're an A Capella group with no instruments. All vocals. (Adam Rupp is a beatboxer that will blow your mind) You might wanna check out their Butts Remix song. Rap, hip hop, and country, all in one song! lol You'll be amazed!
You guys do some great older stuff. I was a kid in the sixties when this came out. My father sang professionally and could really play and sing. He always said Johnny Cash couldn't sing worth a damn but I liked him. By the early seventies when I hit high school and Johnny Cash was on tv I would always watch and my dad would bitch about him. I was at that age where it was kinda fun to provoke him, you know, teenage stuff. I'm smiling right now, fond memories of my father. Make sure you two get this Beatles cover stuff straightened out in the future, no more of those please.
I remember watching JC and June every week on TV when I was a wee tad in black and white. I'm not sure if it actually was in black and white, but we could only afford a black and white TV back then. It was pure entertainment back then, and I still love it! 😁 You should definitely check out Hank Williams SR's song, My Bucket's Got a Hole in it. One of my favorite songs of all time!
The "Ring of Fire" he sings about is addiction. He got addicted to pills. It ruined his marriage. There is a movie about his life. If u have time, watch it. Love ur Tom MacDonald reations.
June & Johnny fell Into a ring of fire when they was both married with kids having an affair. June Carter cash came from a musical family I kn ok w she was from ky but I'm not sure where Johnny was from. Johnny & June sang "I'm going to jackson" together its a great song. He had actually asked her to marry him many times but she wouldn't give him a yes until he got her onstage to singvthis song and put her on the spot. There's a movie about their life I just can't remember the name of it ATM. It would be worth searching for to see their story. I liked this songvwhen he d ok ne it at I think it was folsom prison.

Sorry but you are off this song is about drug addiction
She is singing with her sister. On backing vocals. In this . I think her sister released it first.

June wrote this because at the time she and Johnny were married to different people.
Johnny said that the use of Mexican horns came to him in a dream. Classic song!
Prophetic .. Pastor Cash 👍😎👍
Y’all have to do a live version of he and June doing JACKSON. Y’all will absolutely love it!!!
Yes agreed
Yes! Absolutely! I wish that song was about a half hour long!
yes that one and "daddy sang bass"
Long legged guitar pickin man is favorite of mine too

Hey...youngin, early on it WASNT call country. The music was COUNTRY & WESTERN. Damn kids with google search think they know somethin.

His wife June Carter wrote this after meeting Johnny, and she was still married. So at that time it was a little scandalous.
She didn't have anything to do with him on a personal level until they were both divorced. No scandal about it at all.

Yes!! The man in black
Came to say this.
Johnny Cash is in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A legend.
Also the Gospel Music Hall of Fame

I'm glad I lived when I did so I could hear Johnny Cash. God rest his soul.
That is the Carter family singing in the background, I suggest you look them up, and play some of their music, I suggest “Wildwood Flower”, and “Keep On The Sunny Side”, cheers.
My Dad had a Johnny Cash "Best of" that he would play when I was little. I remember this song well
Johnny was the first to do a concert in Prison for the imates
"Folsom Prison Blues", "Daddy Sang Bass", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", "Man in Black", and "Ragged Old Flag". If you want to know about Johnny's music, these are musts!
One of if not the greatest country music artist of all time...great lyrics, themes, music...the man was and still is a legend...also a great musician that I'm not sure people give him credit for...had his own TV show..hung out with Presidents..TV specials...A Legend !
Johnny cash is an American legend.
Yaaas Asia, Get ur dance on! My Fav of Johnny Cash cuz, I’ve been down to that ring of FIRE … and it was HOT! THX 🔥🔥🔥 reaction! ♥️ Yawl
Thank you so for playing this song!
This was my late father's favorite song. He played it often. RIP Dad 🙏
I remember my neighbor kept playing this song over and over. It was special cause he passed away and that's what I always associate thus song with. Great catchy song.
He was the Badass of his time. He did a live album from the Folsom County Prison. He was slightly inciteful during the recording
You should watch June Carter and Johnny Cash's live version of Jackson. Love the song!
great song aint it, like they was having a conversation down the back yard
Mexican trumpets. Recording Company didn't want it.
Guess who won......
Written by John's to be wife June Carter and country star Merle Kilgore. First recorded by June's sister Anita.
Made famous by John of course. 😀
He is awesome. he has that voice..
Asia, I gotta tell you, that was a pretty damn good Johnny Cash impersonation!
Johnny thought the song needed latin horns. He told them play something and this is what the played and Johnny said perfect. June wrote it to Johnny when they were still both married to other people
If you haven't heard his ultimate classic "I walk the Line", you're in for a treat.
I’m 52 & I think it’s so cool that in the 2020’s people are still discovering & “getting” Saint Johnny’s music 🖤🤤a band named Social Distortion does a great version of this song
I love how music melds cultures. Country is an amalgam of Mexican, black and Irish music.
His wife wrote this when she fell in love with him.
Johnny Cash "Man In Black", it gives a great insight into who this man was.
My very first live concert was Johnny Cash at The Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, 1967... the opening act was this new star named Glen Campbell.
Ain't no grave is one of Johnny's best songs ❤❤❤❤ you guys gotta check that song out 🥰
I appreciate that you guys give all kinds of music a try, very positive vibes :)
You guys just continue to amaze me that you are so willing to go to all different kinds of genres. That's so awesome, You Guys are FIRE! thanks for the reaction:)
Pure, simple and sweet.
That's what I love about country music artists, they have unique voices
My uncle had a juke box in his "man cave" back in the day...and I remember this being on there lol...Johnny is cool.....just different.
You two are very good together! I like your videos! You seem to enjoy each other’s company and make me smile the way you interact…. Keep up the good work!
Man, my dad played this until I knew this song inside and out but I never burned out on it.
The man in Black Johnny Cash, Folsom Prison Blues is iconic!
Cash is one of the best who ever touched a microphone!!!
johhny dreamed about the mexican trumpets the night before the recording ... which inspired him to add the horns
We played this at my dad's funeral. I know he would have loved it. He had a unique sense of humor.
No he is not saying, "Love sucks!"....He (actually his wife June wrote the song) was saying love is powerful, passionate, something you can't readily control or resist.
Love Johnny! Check out Fulsom Prison Blues. You'll love it.
Asia your so beautiful!!!! Love you guys!
Ok, youve got to check out Ray Charles doing this song live on the Johnny Cash Show.
Social Distortion does a great version of this classic.
Gotta play the Social D version. Throw in Ball and Chain for a double review.
Yes👍 Thank U😎✌😁
I don’t think he’s talking about love going bad. He’s talking about their love being so intense it burns continuously, it burns so hot, that flame of love never burns out!❤
Yes! West Texas, Mexican style. Jaja I know. Yup. we love Johnny Cash here in Texas. Old school tough country music.
Mariachi (horns) mix with Country Music.
A cover version of this song was on the music loop tape when I worked in a UK supermarket at weekends in 1972/73. While I was still at school. Must be a good song as I still like it all these years later. 👍😉
They play this at TITAN home games a lot for the T fireball on helmet, yall don't want non, I see that Texans hat BJ.....LOL
FYI Johnny Cash's wife June Carter Cash wrote that that song Ring of Fire for Johnny to sing it was one of his biggest hits and made a lot of money
You're right, there's a blend of Mariachi & southwestern swing country music
Not just burns, but totally consumes
I love your play list. Every time I look at your channel you have another long lost hit I forgot about!!!! Ok how about some older Santana.
No one has reacted to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass at all. You'd love their sound, they were a major force in the '60's
It makes me so happy to see people enjoying the man in black. You should check out cocaine blues from his at folsom prison album. Love from the uk :)
Now we need the Social Distortion cover version.
Absolutely correct my friend he said he heard the horns on a Mexican song and implemented them in this song
Tks for another legendary talent and character. Lots of good recommendations below. His life documentary is worth viewing and his version of "Hurt" will blow your mind. Always love your analysis from fresh ears 💕
Cash went on tour with Elvis in his younger days , take care love your reactions
Ayyyyye fam! Hope y'all are having a great holiday weekend ❤

This song was written by his wife....June Carter Cash.
"Ring of Fire" is also a pretty apt description of the day after a dinner of super spicy food.
😳🔥😏🤣
His wife june carter cash was back up singer along with her sister and her mother Mabel Carter one of the patriarch families of country music
Johnny dreamed the horn part and insisted it be added to the song. June Carter, his wife, wrote the song. Props to June.
Love Johnny. Try Don’t take your guns to town. Or, listen to Home Free’s version of Ring of Fire.
Mexican trumpets. He said he dreamed that sound for this song
Now you absolutely have to do Home Free's version of this!!!!! You want those bass notes? Trust me guys!!!!
believe they have already

This was the first record that I ever owned. A 45 rpm single and I was about 6 or 7 years old
June Carter (before she married Johnny) wrote that song about him and for him!
This is the first song in my memory my mom was a big huge huge fan of his
The band Social Distortion does a great cover of this tune… check it out.
Love this song
It is not about love hurting or being painful!
It is about a ring of fire that continually burns forever & never ends!
True love is like that.
🤓💪

June Carter Cash wrote this song. Reaction video to Marty Robbins song El Paso. That song has a lot of those horns in it.
The "Ring of Fire" he sings about is addiction. He got addicted to pills. It ruined his marriage. There is a movie about his life. If u have time, watch it. Love ur Tom MacDonald reations.
Man in black is the song to react to, if you haven’t heard that you haven’t heard Johnny cash.
You gotta see Elvis Presley in Vegas live 70s singing Bridge over troubled water...white suite..best ever..it will change your life..
Johnny cash. the only rap music I can listen to.
Good reaction!
great reaction and BJ, that Texans hat is badass as fuck!
You should check out The Coffinshakers and Last Night Down By The Grave.. You will love it. Such a great homage to the great Cash.
REACTION REQUEST: The songs Helplessly Hoping and Woodstock by Crosby, Stills & Nash. Also the song Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
