Anita Carter is the singer with the incredible voice. June's younger sister was gifted with one of the most beautiful, pure soprano voices in country & folk music.
You know, when I see Johnny here, I don't see a man in his thirties high on amphetamines, destructive and angry. I see a little boy scared and completely broken seeing his big brother cut almost in half, in blood, and then dying. I see a troubled boy, being struck by guilt all his life. A boy who saw his mother's worst day. A boy who was not supported so much by his father. A boy who needed to fight these demons in some ways. A boy finding amphetamines and then getting drained by them, sleepless, weary and so so lonely. I can really understand what June saw in him and why she had this strong urge to fight for him. And thank God she did.
@@hildahaselnuss620 thank you! Having gone through some tough times myself, I can relate. I actually find a lot of similarities between me and Johnny Cash, that's why I grew to like him so much. Anyway, have a great day!
I lived his life when I was those ages he was and came out clean with love and family No one even knew where I’d had been in those times Cash and other artists lifted me out of the dark times on my own You climb the walls for a few days and then your on your own -K.Richards That’s the truth
Heaven. Pure Heaven. The Carter Family were from Maces Spring Virginia, The heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains...........My heritage, they make me proud!! God bless them and Johnny Cash!! Pure legends!!
Wow! Anita had the most beautiful voice. Johnny was clearly living the hard life at this point....makes the song even more powerful. So thankful for live performances from that time.
The "Carter's" are the closest to hearing angels singing here on earth; that you will hear ! They were blessed with so many talents as clearly magnified in this old powerful spiritual song!
I know what drugs can do..this only confirms that Johnny WAS one of us.And from my drug abuse it leaves me trembling all the time,to me its just the Lord's breath comforting me.
Regardless of one's religious views this is great, the harmony of the Carters and the background music, perfection, Johnny does look a little stoned and this was done much later than 1960 due to the quality of the color picture, probably about 1966 like one other posted. I grew up with the music of Johnny Cash and never tire of listening to him, whether he was stoned or sober.
Anita is the perfect person to sing that high part of this song. Her voice is literally like an angel's. Johnny looks like he has been doing some hard living and does not feel at all well. He looks like he's at least 20 or 30 pounds underweight. I'm so glad he got through this terrible place alive! He was truly dancing with the devil but fortunately he won!
May I say that every one's sins are there,also when JESUS WAS ON THE CROSS I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT JESUS CRIED OUT FATHER FORGIVENESS FOR US THAT I BELIEVE HAD TO BE PART OF OUR FORGIVENESS
Wow this was right in the middle of Johnny's drug addiction. Those ladies were dealing with alot around this time. They're actually my cousins- poor Anita passed away way too early.
This was at the end of his drug addiction, he had been addicted to or taking amphetamines and Barbiturates(?) since 1958 on top of heavy drinking. By 1967 he kicked his habit. This is in 1966
...and also reminds us to remember the ones who were there..how profound to have actually been there, watching and praying and begging and being able to do nothing but watch him suffer for us.
Legendary performances are timeless, powerful, soul changin', spiritual in nature, and will leave all others in the dust...this is one of those performances!
WOW!.. let's see anyone now a days come close to that sound. Not even close even with all the digital enhancement. Not even close. You get a taste of the sounds of heaven when she belts it. Just another way of God saying hello.....
Close your eyes and imagine listening to the glorified angels singing in perfect harmony while sitting along the crystal sea in the shadow of the Holy Throne of God...the Carter ladies are as close as you get here on Earth!
This beautiful song gave me chills when I first heard it and still gives me chills every time I play it. One of the most beautiful gospel songs ever! Johnny got off the stool and out of the picture so the Carters could have the stage to themselves. A very sensitive move and anyone who finds trouble with it needs to reevaluate their sensitivity to others.
I don't care what the people look like or act like while they sing this song, They are professionals, bringing these strong words to us. Whatever! They may be going through their own tribulation, It's what WE hear, in the words of the song. What we are going through to find the strength in the words of this song....not the people!
Johnny Cash , must of been a drug addict , alcoholic, you name but one thing he never forgot where he came from and most of all he never forgot about God and Jesus Christ our Lord savior. RIP JOHNNY CASH
The Carter family's vocal harmonies on this song are so powerful. Personally, I see gospel music as just music and do not seek any guidance nor truth from it. However, I greatly admire the performance here by Johnny and The Carter Family.
This is perfect. Johnny was nothing without a family behind him. He made us all proud. However, the best thing he ever did in his life was to honor the women who stood behind him.
Johnny Cash's rendition of this old gospel song is so so sad yet provides us with hope. My heart always cries out each and every time I hear this old gospel song, since it did the very first time I heard it. The Carter Family's background vocals adds intensity to the lyrics. Jesus of Nazareth let his blood run down from his cross on Calvary at Golgatha just for our sins. RIP Johnny Cash. God bless all this Holy Friday and Easter Sunday!
What a profoundly powerful song sang from the 'Carter Family'. I feel as though I've walked through the grand pearly gates; strolling down the sparkling streets of Gold; hearing the Angels sweetly singing in perfect harmony in the Shadow of the Lord's throne!
John looked bad in this.. The pills had him down but that woman singing in the back and the man he is singing about made him whole again. sure made me tremble.
Johnny looks like he's just started to work his way back from rock bottom, and he owes so much to the help and support of the entire Carter family. Great, great song!!!
I got to see Johnny Cash, his wife, and the Carter Family at a small theater before he got sick. He wasn't at the high point of his career, but I don't think I've ever seen a better performance. I was sitting at a table about 20 feet away from them. There were times when you could hear a pin drop, like when he was singing the Highway Patrolman by Bruce Springsteen. It set the standard for what I think of as a performance that is worth seeing. Unfortunately, they don't come around very often.
This is great!!! Anita's voice is that of an angel... Better yet is when the devil get's a-hold o' Johnny and he gets up, goes offstage, takes a coupla pulls , pops some pills and snorts a few rails and comes back in time for the fade out. Johnny Cash was made of some tough stuff!!! All Hail Johnny Cash!!!
Absolutely awesome video! Thank goodness there are videos like these made and kept thru the years and also that we have computers and You Tube so we and other generations can see/hear them!

This song done by Johnny and the Carter Family never fails to touch my soul. I close my eyes and just listen and from the highest notes to the lowest it is powerful.
I seen them preform this live in 1961 at that krnt theater in Des Moines Iowa when the country music package shows would come through ....produced by Smokey Smith....thanks to Smokey we got to see the greats of Country music.,......just great music

That was June not Anita

Just read your comment for the first time. It's so full of love and empathy, it made me cry. Thanks very much.

@@hildahaselnuss620 me too :')
Wel said
I lived his life when I was those ages he was and came out clean with love and family
No one even knew where I’d had been in those times
Cash and other artists lifted me out of the dark times on my own
You climb the walls for a few days and then your on your own

That’s the truth
True talent, we will never see the likes again.
Yes we will, in Heaven, I think. 😊
He loved Jesus so very much.
Blessings to you 🙏❤️😇
ANITA CARTER HAS A VOICE OF AN ANGEL. WHAT A SOUND,, GIVES ME SHRILLS IN MY SPINE
Is Anita the second from the left?
@@blakeplummer3668 That's Anita second from the left. She would have had her 27th birthday in 1960.
Is that not June with Anita not the third from the left
Sometimes it causes me to tremble 😉
Left to right, Helen, Anita, June, mother Maybelle
Anita oh my that voice makes me tremble. Beautiful 😢
Heaven. Pure Heaven. The Carter Family were from Maces Spring Virginia, The heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains...........My heritage, they make me proud!! God bless them and Johnny Cash!! Pure legends!!
Love this song. My grampa always adds another verse whenever he sings it : "will you be ready when he comes back again?"
AMÉN
I would love for somebody to do a cover of this song using that line added into it. That would be absolutely epic!
Trust him today for what he did for us at that cross.turn from sins and live for him.
Wow! Anita had the most beautiful voice.
Johnny was clearly living the hard life at this point....makes the song even more powerful.
So thankful for live performances from that time.
Johnny always held on to God, even when he was raising hell on earth. May he rest in eternal peace.
🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Amen
Anita Carter...I'm unsure how to describe her voice. One thing's for certain though, whenever I hear her sing, her voice travels straight through me.
Absolutely angelic..the Carter family and Johnnys's deep voice blended together in a signature sound that made them famous as no other couple!
When Anita Carter starts to sing all the flowers of the wildwood seem to blossom.
THAT IS BECAUSE WILDWOOD FLOWERS GROW IN SW VIRGINIA!!
And I just learned today that the Carter Family here are in my ancestral lineage. Awesome! Great song too.
Man that is something
must be a short stump😬😱
@@DJoeClark mine, too! Maybe we're cousins!
The "Carter's" are the closest to hearing angels singing here on earth; that you will hear ! They were blessed with so many talents as clearly magnified in this old
powerful spiritual song!
lol, tone deaf
You know Jack was in Heaven listening to this.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (March 27), I played this for Sunday School Assembly.
These women's voices are so pure.
compared to what 🤔😬
Johnny a man of God not ashamed to declare his faith to the whole world. Thanks for sharing this video.
But he was also very much opposed to all those in the Church who are hypocrites.
@@kentclark6420 source?
And he new he was a sinner, not worthy of God's glory ( like all of us). Problem is a lot of people are relying on their own righteousness.
@@langleybeliever7789 No righteousness but the Lord's covering us before God our Father.
There is nothing better than old school gospel.
Amen
Where has talent like this gone. Magnificent voices.
I always loved Johnny Cash but Anita Carter sang like an Angel from heaven.
SHE WAS AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN,NO DOUBT ABOUT IT...
THAT'S THE GRACE OF GOD
@@efremgarciagil843
Spot on..... 🙏
Anita Carter - holy cats what a voice!
I know. she howls like a dog
Her voice has a sound of purity that still gives me chills to hear her.
Elle est formidable

You need to grow up. And brother, try listening to the words of this song.......closely.
Beautiful Song, angelic voices
I know what drugs can do..this only confirms that Johnny WAS one of us.And from my drug abuse it leaves me trembling all the time,to me its just the Lord's breath comforting me.
Same here I know what it's like being addicted it's the hardest thing to quit
@@janetwilhelm4435 Stay strong, and best wishes.
I have chills of a glorious feeling every time I listen to this song.
Oh my. Goosebumps, shivers and tears hit me at the same time. She sure had a voice.
You haven't heard this song, the power of this song--till you have heard it sung in a homeless shelter...
I haven't heard it at a homeless shelter, but I have heard it at a funeral
@@austintjaden9214 I'm not sure which I'd rather be in.
It's a depressing song anyway about a murder of an innocent man.
The Carters loved Johnny so much.
Regardless of one's religious views this is great, the harmony of the Carters and the background music, perfection, Johnny does look a little stoned and this was done much later than 1960 due to the quality of the color picture, probably about 1966 like one other posted.

Truly, he is looking strung out in this video. Probably when he was going through his hard times.
David Lingner he was, he was heavily into his drugs in this recording
He had been addicted to drugs since 1958 so yeah
I wasn't there but my evil sins were, I believe this is one song by Johnny Cash and Carter family, straight to my heart
May I say that every one's sins are there,also when JESUS WAS ON THE CROSS I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT JESUS CRIED OUT FATHER FORGIVENESS FOR US THAT I BELIEVE HAD TO BE PART OF OUR FORGIVENESS
Yes my horrible sins
AMÉN
@@efremgarciagil843 BLESS you brother you'll always be in my heart as a blessing also I prayed something wonderful happens to you today 🙏
i love johnny cash
but,lets face it,the carters are the crown of country music
and anita carter is the crown jewel
roman14032
👍👍👍
Johnny was the crown.
it's obvious this Is when the pills still had a chokehold on him. Praise God, the he didn't cross over......
Notice Anita and John had the solos. Each knew their gift and how to use it. Not just Anita and John, but Helen, June and Maybelle too.
Helen was probably the most talented of the girls. Anita was the prettiest and June being a typical middle child had the stand out personality.
most inspriational song ive ever heard lead me to Jesus thank you..
that make me cry
Wow this was right in the middle of Johnny's drug addiction. Those ladies were dealing with alot around this time. They're actually my cousins- poor Anita passed away way too early.

...and also reminds us to remember the ones who were there..how profound to have actually been there, watching and praying and begging and being able to do nothing but watch him suffer for us.
Legendary performances are timeless, powerful, soul changin', spiritual in nature, and will leave all others in the dust...this is one of those performances!

Johnny was just a regular guy like all of us-good and evil doing battle-I'll see you in heaven John!
I love that little parlor guitar he's holding, and sometimes playing!
I take time to listen to this timeless gospel song every Good Friday .
Peace to all !
Close your eyes and imagine listening to the glorified angels singing in perfect harmony while sitting along the crystal sea in the shadow of the Holy Throne of God...the Carter ladies are as close as you get here on Earth!
We just played this at church for our Good Friday service. Sunday's a comin'
one of the most endearing things i find about Johnny Cash is the Gospel music he sings. A man who sang these songs with conviction and sincerity!
Blessed Easter everyone.
God Blessed us with these Talents! Glad I am Still able to enjoy this! Thank you.
Johnny Cash is simply amazing. And Mother Maybelle is country at it's best. Thank you for this!
This beautiful song gave me chills when I first heard it and still gives me chills every time I play it. One of the most beautiful gospel songs ever!
Johnny got off the stool and out of the picture so the Carters could have the stage to themselves. A very sensitive move and anyone who finds trouble with it needs to reevaluate their sensitivity to others.
Absolutely Beautiful!!! We sing it every Easter, but no one does it better than the Carter Family and Johnny!
Splendid rendition of this Easter anthem. Makes one tremble. Blessings 💜🙏🏽
God that was beautiful.
One Of Johnny Cash & Carter Family Best Songs.
Chills all over. My gosh, at the talent right here.
Love love nothing but love for all of them
My gosh Anita was fabulous.
I cant listen to this song without getting chills
I love it when the say the word “tremble” also the music has beautiful harmony
A fantastic arrangement.
I don't care what the people look like or act like while they sing this song, They are professionals, bringing these strong words to us. Whatever! They may be going through their own tribulation, It's what WE hear, in the words of the song. What we are going through to find the strength in the words of this song....not the people!
Awesome song. brings tears to my eyes
enjoying the history, Anita had a beautiful voice
this really is breathtaking, music today has nothing on the past.

You got that right. Ladies like that helped me too. But for the Grace of God...
I too was addicted to pills for 16 years,and this song pulled me out of withdrawals and detox.
Here he is a little better.

June Carter is one of the ones behind him but the angelic voice you’re hearing is Anita Carter.
She was also the original artist for Ring Of Fire.
He look like the rock star that he is don't be hating
Shivers on my back !!!!!!
Anita Carter's voice causes me to tremble.
Sweet Anita Carter's voice...
How beautiful to hear such beautiful and I wasn't born yet ,BUT MY SINS WERE I PRAY THAT JESUS CHRIST WILL FORGIVENESS
I start crying when they sing that song. It is beautiful
I was there Johnny, I was there. Alleluia 2022
You must be about 2000 years old then 😂
This song takes me away from everyday living. It pulls me into the depth of Him. Feel me Lord.
what a beautiful song
I was there! In my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ's heart, I was there through all of this! I will praise Him!
Simply beautiful music
Great song! Timeless and amazing, and when Anita sings it's like the sound of angels! Just so touching on so many levels... Johnny looks
Johnny looks like he's just started to work his way back from rock bottom, and he owes so much to the help and support of the entire Carter family. Great, great song!!!
+West Coast Blues Guy actually he would stay like that for another 6 years
+West Coast Blues Guy sorry I got confused your right he was on the road to getting better in this clip

My favorite version of this song
That's absolutely stunning.
This is great!!! Anita's voice is that of an angel...
Better yet is when the devil get's a-hold o' Johnny and he gets up, goes offstage, takes a coupla pulls , pops some pills and snorts a few rails and comes back in time for the fade out. Johnny Cash was made of some tough stuff!!!
All Hail Johnny Cash!!!
Anita Carter a natural beauty and what a voice!
Johnny Cashs appearance really added to the overall somberness of the song. Beautifully done.
I enjoyed this very much...thank you..very touching...some lovely times that family had.
