I was blessed to see June, Johnny, and their ensemble perform two concerts in Boston in 1969 or 1970. What an amazing group of talented artists at the peak of their performing abilities. I will never forget those concerts.
June Carter Cash was quite a talent sensation herself! Really entertained by this installment of The Tonight Show. Ring of Fire is one of my favorite tunes, and June Carter Cash does a standing ovation performance of it here.💝❣️🎉🎉
As a child of the 90s these old Carson shows are like a time capsule to a better world that existed before me. Thank you to whoever puts the work in to give people like me a glimpse into the past.
@@rogerklotz8 . Child of the 90's? HaHa!! That cracks me up! You little whippersnappers think you have lived. I was a child of the 50's. You babies have no clue what Johnny Carson (and let alone Jack Parr) was all about.
It was a joy to be able to watch these every now and then as they happened. Some I definitely remember and some I have only seen here, but they are all classics and I also offer my thanks for whoever is sharing these gems!!!
The World wasn't better in the Seventies. That's a Joke. I am Born in the mid Sixties. What was better? Vietnam War? Dirty Rivers? Watergate? The World was always bad because the Humans are a bunch of Idiots.
@@MCW1955 I blame the ultra left and all those miserable groups that agitate the masses claiming “they are offended” about everything, including artistic development and culture.
That woman had a singing voice of an angel and she literally saved the life of Johnny Cash her husband They both were a match made in Heaven Rest in peace Johnny and June We will always love and miss you
These moments of magic on Johnnys show will never be gone, thanks to these videos we get. I wonder if times will ever be as good again ? Origins of Americana coming thru in spades here. Bless this show and all it gave us.
Aww, June is so adorable. Their story has always been such a inspiration to me.. Xoxo Glad you two found each other eventually and have left your legacies for us to cherish.. to take inspiration from ❤
I was a ROCK and ROLLER BIG TIME thru the 1960s and 1970s. But I noticed more and more, as the years went by the INCREDIBLE GREATNESS of certain artists in the Country Way. How is it possible NOT to love the best of the BEST. May God Bless Country Music
This was back when there were other stars like Johnny and June in country music. Our culture appreciated these musicians of unique talent, personal integrity, thoughtful manners and a delightful genuine sense of humor always! Love love June 💕💕💕
AND REESE WITHERSPOON DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB PLAYING HER IN WALK IN THE LINE ........HER BEAUTIFUL SOUL IS TRULY FELT IN THIS VIDEO. I CAN SEE WHY JOHNNY CASH WAS BLOWN AWAY
When I was a little boy in the 1950s the most popular music for my family came from Mother Maybelle and The Carter Sisters, and June Carter was an important part of that group.
June is not a delight she is a husband stealing Whole! Johnny Cash was married to a lovely woman named Vivian and June Chased Johnny relentlessly. And Vivian's four daughters do not like June because she was insulting their mother
@@cathycarlson12 Were you there? Did you know in 1956 while Johnny was married to Vivian, Johnny came back-stage at the Opry and told June that he was going to marry her like the first or second time that they met? They ended up getting married in 1968 12 years later and John was the one that chased June. If Junes first husband Carl Smith didn't cheat and abandon their marriage while June was pregnant with Carlene in 1955, June would have still been married to him. June wanted her first marriage to work but Carl Smith was running around on her. You are really one of the most ignorant people that has ever made a comment. June never chased John , it didn't happen that way. Read Marshall Grants (Johns bass player's book) book "I Was There" And Vivians daughters did like June. Johnny Cash ruined his own marriage by doing drugs and chasing other women before June and him got married.
I am sure it was overwhelming for him. June was just so good that she seems to think it is funny that they caused much heartache and difficulty for his wife and four children by Johnny ignoring them for months and months to do drugs and be with June.
I watch June Carter with her mother and sisters, on an old country show. And she was just a child ,And they were great. June Carter ,was a dancing machine .
Wow, June has music in her blood! 🎻🪕🪗🥁🪘 Most 🎶 musicians play music but some are natural born talent!🤠 God please keep June & Johnny Cash close to you! 🙏💞
In 1972, I was playing in a band with a guy called "Kevin Bloody Wilson" (Not his real name of course) My Wife Ann & I were with him for 4 years, He knew everybody & still does, Johnny & June Carter Cash were promoting an album, & they came along to a Prison show we did. One of life's Highlights for me. (much more but to much for here)
OMG NO WAY!!! My dad always made me listen to EVERY CASH/BLOODY WILSON SONG… and now I love UA-cam because maybe one day my dad can see this comment lol
How could you not love June Carter. She learned Carter picking from Mother Mabelle Carter, has an authentic country voice, and she's got a wonderful comedy sense.
June came from a musical family and her artistry (based on many hundreds of family performances) certainly shows through here. Her beloved husband Johnny Cash was absolutely devastated when June passed on in May 2003 - he would join her in spirit just a few months later. Cheers to their memory!
Another beautiful, mysterious Rocky Kelley masterpiece! As usual, you create more questions among viewers than you reveal answers, but as always, you have your breathtakingly beautiful ladies and ancient worlds. Great work!
what? They are no doubt great musicians and I love them But... I don't like dream world stuff. You condone drug use, bringing drugs across the border and getting arrested, adultery and ignoring the lovely wife and four children back home for months and months leaving her alone to kill rattlesnakes ,and deal with lies and the resulting threats from the KKK real? While Johnny was out doing drugs and being unfaithful, his young wife stayed at night with a gun at her window to protect their 4 children because she was so scared. Ok....... This information comes from a documentary called "My Darling Vivien". It is based on documents and Johnny's first children discussing what happened and also, the first wife's book, "I Walked the Line" By the way, the song "I Walk the Line "was Written for Vivien. We all have a tendency to want to believe what has been manipulated for us to believe rather than deal with reality and truth. But should we??
Was lucky enough to See and meet June and Johnny at the State theater in Easton PA 1988 after the show my Wife and I were Admiring His Peterbilt Semi they were walking towards the limousine and Spoke with them !!
I was blessed to see June, Johnny, and their ensemble perform two concerts in Boston in 1969 or 1970. What an amazing group of talented artists at the peak of their performing abilities. I will never forget those concerts.
June Carter Cash can put a smile on anyone's face - she really lights up the stage. Thanks so much for posting, this is really special.
Absolutely delightful and mesmerizing. I respect how Johnny just let June Carter be June Carter, personality and talent shining through.
Honestly that is the best version ever!
No doubt, Johnny would agree.
I miss June and Johnny. What a blessing to have had them Hell we are all just passing through.
I grew up watching The Tonight Show, when Johnny retired, late night talk shows changed so much. He was the best!
June Carter Cash was quite a talent sensation herself! Really entertained by this installment of The Tonight Show. Ring of Fire is one of my favorite tunes, and June Carter Cash does a standing ovation performance of it here.💝❣️🎉🎉
Ummm.❤️!!! She owns it. I have heard MANY VERSIONS of this song, but June owns it. That is beautiful!👏👏👏👏👏

I'm glad I'm not the only child of the 90s enjoying these old Carson clips. Great stuff!

Looking back, it was a more gentile world…
Wish we had more of these shows and classy people to make them
I’m afraid the demon-crates ruined everything and I don’t know if it’s ever coming back 😢
That would require Hollywood to actually have talent and creativity, something that seems mostly lacking these days
@@MCW1955 I blame the ultra left and all those miserable groups that agitate the masses claiming “they are offended” about everything, including artistic development and culture.
Great
Walt Disney is spinning in his grave for what the left did to his empire
June Carter Cash had such a wonderful voice!.
That woman had a singing voice of an angel and she literally saved the life of Johnny Cash her husband They both were a match made in Heaven Rest in peace Johnny and June We will always love and miss you
You sound like a creepy ass fan
Yes exactly 💯
Her sister Anita Carter had a great voice should have become a major star in her own right, all of them legends
Being a baby Boomer, I'm glad I grew up when I did look what We've evolved into. A technological nightmare
Johnny cheated on June. He also slept with one of June's sisters
That’s just awesome! 👍😎👍
I love the banter between them! I love them both!
She was so talented in every way, and such a class act as well. Thanks for posting, this made my night.
🥰❤️❤️🥰 I love her voice and everything about her!!😇🌺🌺😇 wishe she and Johnny cash was still here!💙💗
I was lucky enough to work on Stagecoach 86 with Johnny and June. They were the most humble super star couple you will ever meet
These moments of magic on Johnnys show will never be gone, thanks to these videos we get. I wonder if times will ever be as good again ? Origins of Americana coming thru in spades here. Bless this show and all it gave us.
What a dear lady. Love June Carter Cash!
Aww, June is so adorable.
Their story has always been such a inspiration to me..
Xoxo
Glad you two found each other eventually and have left your legacies for us to cherish.. to take inspiration from ❤
June Carter was such a beautiful person in every way !
Yes indeed! And as beautiful as e.g. Judith Durham (Australian).
If you ignore her mouth full of horse teeth
Talented and beautiful lady, I'm glad to see this show again.
She was so real and delightful.
I met June Carter once...she was so sweet. Rest in Peace June 🕊
You must be old
Awesomeness!! 😎👍👌🍁
RIP June Carter and Johnny cash 😔
And Johnny Carson, too.

This is such a wonderful episode
Iconic performance. May June Carter’s beautiful soul RIP.
Ahhh the good old days! Thanks for the great memories! ♥
She’s adorable! Just so natural, with no pretensions or airs. There’s an innocence about her that is not at all fake or put on. How refreshing!
yep
Really? I love her but
I always felt like she played the "airhead" SOMETIMES to entertain and be funny.
She represents the natural part of US für me 🙂 She is like a Robert Altman movie ... 🙂
That's how God Almighty likes it.
This was back when there were other stars like Johnny and June in country music. Our culture appreciated these musicians of unique talent, personal integrity, thoughtful manners and a delightful genuine sense of humor always! Love love June 💕💕💕
When I was younger this used to be one of my favorite songs I still love it.
June is so sweet 🌸.. so funny, true and strong 💖
She was just amazing!!!!
OMG SHE CAN SING LIKE CRAZY!! I'M JEALOUS OF HER VOICE!! 😭💖💛
Wow! She's such a beautiful soul!

What an incredibly lovely and talented woman! 🩵
June Carter Cash was absolutely delightful. What a truly multi talented person she was.
Watching this, I had the biggest smile!!
and now?
Smiling about her helping herself to another woman's husband and their children?
Love this song..❤..beautifully done June..
Queen June Carter Cash! The Country Music Queen June Carter Cash! Ring of Fire! 10 ⭐️’s!
What a beautiful charming down to earth woman !! Just as talented as anyone else in country music.
I absolutely adore this woman..
forever will. Johnny was one lucky, ungrateful bastard! ❤️
Watched Johnny as a teen and man have we lost our way. It was a different world.
June Carter Cash. Johnny Cash gave it up for her 100 per cent. Johnny knew she was a beautiful angel.
yeah he left 4 children and a wife for her. He devastated his family for her. June should have never messed with him. He was married when they met.
@@truckingwithtobee 👍
I could hear a little Mother Maybelle in her singing voice. She was a delight, and probably saved Johnny Cash's life.
His previous wife, Vivian, had a great part in saving him.
It's easy to see why Johnny Cash was so deeply in love with her.
Her version of Ring of Fire is the best.
Her sister Anita Carters version was recorded first and is the best version of the song! ua-cam.com/video/OlWGsaorj6U/v-deo.html
well, she did write it about falling for him when they were both married to others.
She was a brilliant talent in her own right.
she was a huge star long before her husband was
She came from a very talented (and under acknowledged) family.
@@leonardothefabulous3490 Well i guess now its ancient history but without the Carters country music would be very different.
@@pablokaufervinent8012 Without the Carters, ALL of American music would be different. And it's not "ancient." :)
June is such a delight. She is most definitely a great performer ❤️🙏😊
The whole interview was a performance
Performer for sure.

I looked her up because I'm in a relationship that I need her as an example!@@surlif
A classic performance and interview by a Great lady!!.
Real Country and real music. June Carter is a part of the first family of Country Music. Give me old Country.
Beautiful voice of June Carter rip
She is a great performer and has such a beautiful voice!
A gem !!!❤
What a special lady. Such talent.
Beautiful. The story behind this song is great as well :)
Awesome, love this version so much.
What a beautiful voice.
It does give the song a different kind of feel.
I watch June Carter with her mother and sisters, on an old country show. And she was just a child ,And they were great. June Carter ,was a dancing machine .
She was hilarious. God rest her. ❤
I just found this. !!
Chills up both arms and down my back
Wow, June has music in her blood! 🎻🪕🪗🥁🪘

Class and a lot of talent. Thats what comes to my mind seeing June in this spectacular video.
June Carter is definitely the queen of country and western music my other favorite was Patsy Cline.

Brilliant lady!
Johnny Carson met his match when June Carter Cash was in dialogue with him.😅😅😅😅 Both have a great knack for wit.
day-um. great. i miss her and johnny. that was awesome.
June did a superb rendition with only voice and guitar, then she showed her comic persona.
I hope to write such a great song as Ring of Fire. Many props to June Carter Cash.
Never missed an episode
What a nice version! One of my all time favorite songs. Watched them weekly on tv growing up, now I réalise how lucky I was!
Beautiful work
Oh my word, her lingering vibrato notes are beautiful
I have never heard this version! What a pleasure to keep discovering jewels.
What a lovely woman! Easy to see why Johnny fell in love with June!
When decent stars were for real .. respect. Quality people..

Wow! Simply, wow!
what an amazing lady - so much class - ignores when they are making fun and just moves forward
Lovely.
Sometimes the universe join two diamonds.
Best wishes from Argentina.
June was a true lady and a great entertainer! She is a saint for dealing with Cash. God bless her! ❤
This lady ,such a treasure, was the ultimate wife and dàighter. Just a sweet talented spirit of grace
and beauty from the Carter lineage.
Pure talent. Love her. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding original version!!!!!!!
What a great interview, June Carter Cash holding back no punches, great!
Shes a strong, independent woman, God bless her.
June was the only remedy Johnny ever needed. Two wonderful people just made for each other.
Did she have sex with Johhny Carson? Was it before or after the show?
Fabulous ! Love this.
Was lucky enough to See and meet June and Johnny at the State theater in Easton PA 1988 after the show my Wife and I were Admiring His Peterbilt Semi they were walking towards the limousine and Spoke with them !!
June Carter Cash was always been a comedian ever since she was younger when she sung with her family The Carter Family.
I loved her so much!
