Great clip. Two towering giants of country music. One died much too young, victim of the demons in his life. The other, from the family of the earliest country music traditions, helped Johnny Cash find salvation from his demons and, together, they touched a whole generation with decades of great music. Thanks for sharing it.
To be fair, his demons came about mostly because of the pain with health issues. Spina bifida occulta can cause awful pain. Modern medicine could have potentially stopped his pain.
Love Hank Williams music. When I was 11 ( I’m 69 now) I swapped my Red Rider BB gun for my older brothers acoustic guitar from Sears and walked into town and picked up his guitar song book . I saw his picture on the cover and knew this guy was a Cowboy lol. The first song I learned was “ I Saw The Light “ and sang it in church the next Sunday. I still have that guitar and Hanks song book today !
June Carter was the best female country entertainer ever! She is so much fun to watch in these old shows. Hank Williams and The Drift'n Cowboys are still the best in country music.
Really? I didn't know that! It makes me upset. She deserved to be there years ago. Like the Judd's. What took them so, so long to give them that deserving award years ago?
oooow, i'd give all i own away to see ole hank williams perform live!! in the few years he's been famous he showed he had more tallent in his toenails than any of today's artists has in all his body. thanks for the musical tresure!!
Yeah he was something else..The talent for entertaining folks and songwriting literally oozed out of that mans body.. I don't think Evis would have been remembered in the same way as he is now if Hank would have lived. He was heading to the Rock side.. He was using electric Guitars and wanted to use drums... He already had the moves & Songs.. Only thing that he didn't have was Elvis' looks... Lol
Fascinating, what honest and amazing entertainment. Exposing the world to a rich and beautiful cultural heritage. Too bad this level of innocence is gone now. My dad was born and raised in the Ozark mountains and this is what he knew and loved. This is a part of our culture that has been lost and will probably never return, except in imitation.
A good song by June, I like her singin, always have!!! and Hank as always great... It was a smart choice to were that suit... White with black notes, very visible on black&white T.V.s in those days!!! Hank was a first rate entertainer... He was the (Elvis) before Elvis was known!!! John Lennon said(before Elvis there was nothing), I say Before Elvis There was Hank Williams!!!!!
Carter family was a leader, then and still known for bringing old music to the forefront from Northern European settlers into this our AMERICA. This is real AMERICANA. 👍 Then add HANK, OMG. ! This is what America was built on. 😊
Magnifiques et vrais artistes qui savaient chanter, danser, jouer la comédie.... Merci beaucoup pour ce partage. 🙏🙏💓. Oui la rencontre entre june et Johnny Cash fut extraordinaire et salvatrice, certainement pour Johnny. Tous deux devaient être très complémentaires et aimants. 💓💓💓
Yes, the Irish and Scots were the first major group to settle the southern regions of the US. They brought along their folk music and dances. Country music is the evolution from those early tunes. Listen to groups like the Chieftans and then listen to early... and I do mean EARLY country recordings, like the Carter Family and all... you'll hear the connection.
Definitely a HUGE influence, but not the only one! So much came from Black music of course. A lot of the early Carter family songs were sourced from Black songs.
I love seeing this old footage...I never appreciated this type of music as a kid when my grandparents listened to it. This was a time when people truly had talent and originality. This is part of my heritage and I'm glad that I've grown to like and appreciate it.
This is how I feel. I'm 23 years old, and 2 years ago I found a big ol' bin of my grandpa's old records, bunch of waylon, willie, Charlie Daniel's band, David Allen Coe, and other types of country vinyls were in it, I took it home and listened to Guy Clark "desperados waiting for a train" and I cried my eyes put haha. Had an overwhelming feeling as I spun it, thinking the last person to play it was my Grandpa who had passed before I really got to ever meet him. So I often thank Grandpa Dan for leaving behind these gems for someone to find haha, and am greatful that I happened to be the one to find em. Ever since falling down the country rabbit hole I still haven't got out of it haha
@@ro_dawg4720 How wonderful! He left you a historical and cultural archive. You could start up a UA-cam channel playing these records for others to join you in that rabbit hole!
God bless the person who posted this !!! it brings back those good old innocent times. Barn dancings and stuff...june carter and hank williams togheter at a tv show...priceless !!!
I was definitely born a few generations late. All my friends laugh when I play Hank and then a few minutes later they are singing along and asking for a copy of the song.
June Carter had a flair for comedy as well as singing. And the bit with Hank Williams is just great. Not too much flim of him. This clip is precious. Thanks for posting.
Absolutely love the Carter family super awesome and I can't get enough of Hank Williams for decades I grew up on Hank Williams Carter family and many others!
This is some rare foot. There are very few videos of Hank Williams, and when you add June Carter and Roy Acuff in the mix, it's priceless. Thanks for posting.
Didn't have media (politics wasn't televised) Still happy in TN, but the rest of the country likes to move here when they vote for anarchy. Good luck with all of y'all's problems. Don't come so it'll stay that way.
Hank really was something else, wasn't he? Country music is an acquired taste - if you are not born into that tradition - and one, alas, that I have never quite acquired - but Hank lifts the genre to a whole different level. You can hear in his sings the early stirrings of rock n roll and he had that indefinable quality in his voice that we wuold later hear in Buddy's and Elvis'.
Hank Williams , June Carter , Roy Acuff. List goes on. All National Treasure s. 1 and all. May god keep you in his bosom. And Yall Rest In Peace. Cause todays country music , yall wouldnt Recognize . Music Row sold out along time ago.
I love this. Great to see people not afraid to entertain. This was the music for the common folk and it was really enjoyable. Thanks for putting in this clip!!! Did you notice that most of the guys had suits and ties? Those were the days of class. No hats but Cowboy hats, either.
I love this. Great to see people not afraid to entertain. This was the music for the common folk and it was really enjoyable. Thanks for putting in this clip!!!
June at her finest!Loved her! She acted the fool but actually she was a very smart woman! RIP JUNE! NEVER FORGOTTEN! Hank was a sex symbol in his hay day! I loved Hank also! RIP HANK! I still love your music!!
Darryl, are you African American? I can't see your picture that well. I was born a Rogers. Just wondering. I am white- perhaps Irish roots, English and Germanic, too. Just asking.
I can give you the story as it was told to me by my dear friend the late Jimmy Porter who was in the car that night (he was Hank's steel player) Jimmy recalled they were getting close to montgomery when Hank saw the familiar Montgomery search light, and he said "I know we're home I just saw the light" A few days later Hank had the song. Jimmy was a man who wouldn't tell a lie if his life depended on it. A true mentor to me with my steel playing. I miss you Jimmy ole Buddy.......
Johnny Cash's first wife was Vivian Liberto, they had 4 daughters, including Rosanne Cash. "Vivian says the two main things that destroyed her marriage to Johnny were “drugs and June Carter,” more so June than the drugs." “Once June came along, she relentlessly - well, she wanted Dad and she was going to get him,” says Cindy. “And she did. She made herself very available, to where he pursued her back.” n the book, Vivian confesses that she never stopped loving Johnny, and she regrets that she didn’t try harder to save their marriage, saying “I should have been relentless at saving it, as relentless as June was at destroying it.”
I discovered Hank Williams thanks to GTV San Andreas and I m very thankful for that. Now fast forward to the present my 2 year old son is listening to all his songs and he's likes it, he dances and tries to sign
LOLOLOL!! Thanks so much for such a great clip. Hard to believe that is the same June Carter who always seemed the epitome of calm after she hooked up with Johnny Cash. She was obviously a lot more talented than I ever realized.
Those were Simple times.... Wish we could live like that again. People respected each other and kept to their own business. People were polite and they cared about the community. And the community was centered around the church
Thank You so very much for this post! Boy, did it bring Me back Memories too of the Square Dancing I was in Elementary School back in the 50's. This Indeed, is very rare footage.
Have to agree.. just love June C (later J C Cash) The era of good CM is sadly coming to an end . Just love HW and JC what great contributors to the country music scene,
Another one of Hank Williams songs I grew up with after love sick blues. This was country when it was real country. How could you not love this kind of music and entertainment. Even if you're not in such a great mood it puts you in a good mood. These people are fantastic all-time greats.
Yeah thanks for posting June Carter with Hank Sr wow . that was one of my dads idols the other was Bob Wills they had a stack of albums by all them. I knew June had to be young to be on same show while Hank was still alive.RIP to All these ole country singers 🎻
This is awesome. I love country music, along with bluegrass and fiddle music. That’s what I grew up with. I learned how to yodel and still do lots of that..
I’m a huge Johnny Cash fan and I have my own country band. One of my most requested songs is Folsom Prison! I am very grateful that even though Cash did drugs off and on he lived to be quite old.

June was such a versatile entertainer and she always looked like she was having more fun than anyone else.
HANK WILLIAMS WAS A BIG COUNTRY STAR AND HE STILL IS TODAY EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT ALIVE WE ALL WILL STILL REMEMBER HIM
Love Hank Williams music. When I was 11 ( I’m 69 now) I swapped my Red Rider BB gun for my older brothers acoustic guitar from Sears and walked into town and picked up his guitar song book .

I still have that guitar and Hanks song book today !
That's a beautiful song and an equally beautiful memory!
What an entertainer June was, unreal. Each of the Carter ladies had incredible unique talents which jived together so well.
June Carter was the best female country entertainer ever! She is so much fun to watch in these old shows. Hank Williams and The Drift'n Cowboys are still the best in country music.
Will never understand why June is overlooked for the Country Music Hall of Fame!! Truly one of the greats.
Probably due to her less attractive singing voice lol
But I wonder if she felt embarrassed on her actions when she was young?
Really? I didn't know that! It makes me upset. She deserved to be there years ago. Like the Judd's. What took them so, so long to give them that deserving award years ago?
Because she was a horrible singer
@@barrytooley6724 Not horrible. Just not great….

Country music is so country back in the day thanks 🤠 for shows like this
Merci pour cette vodéo !
J'adore la Country-music et la Carter Family !
Ici June fait un super numéro !
Carter family was a leader, then and still known for bringing old music to the forefront from Northern European settlers into this our AMERICA.
This is real AMERICANA. 👍
Then add HANK, OMG. !
This is what America was built on. 😊
My father was from France and had this music going back to the 50's in the Bronx.
How good is this?
What a troubled life he had, but he left behind some wonderful music.
RIP Hank!
My father was from France and had this music going back to the 50's.
Now I know where 'Elly Mae Clampett's' persona came from!...Elly moves, talks and laughs just like June Carter! Even the hairstyle is the same!

You do know he's dead right!

Roy Acuff, the Carter family, and the King of Country music, Hank Williams....3 immortal country legends

Hank must be the greatest country singer ever
“Priceless “
@@robertnorris7066 lll
Love this video!! Ol Hank had moves way ahead of his time lol. Nice to see Billy Byrd on guitar too.
I loved johnny and june...
Love this. Piece of history right here.🕺💃 😂👍💯
wow when America was alive with joy and JESUS WAS STILL HONORED IN AMERICA /
Jesus has nothing to do with this music
thank you for this. When country music was country music and performed with genuine, unfeigned enthusiasm.
Nothing today can compare to these talents
The country music GOAT and nobody is close
notice how much happier people were in those days? What a great video
Didn't have media (politics wasn't televised)
Still happy in TN, but the rest of the country likes to move here when they vote for anarchy. Good luck with all of y'all's problems. Don't come so it'll stay that way.
I agree 19thcentury hank is timeless I am 17 and can't get enough hank he is still the man and his music will live on forever
Both she, and Hank, are absolute legends. Giants of American music!
I watch this at least a couple of times a week. It's a real lifter. June seemed such a naturally funny lady.....and so sweet.
June Carter thought of herself as more of a comedian than a singer early in her career.
I'm 12 and love it. when i gorw up ima gona be a country singer just like.
These are some of the country's most wonderful people!! To call them "hillbillies" is a crime.
Hank really was something else, wasn't he? Country music is an acquired taste - if you are not born into that tradition - and one, alas, that I have never quite acquired - but Hank lifts the genre to a whole different level.

Oh precious memories.
It's just really good to see professional musicians who really know what their doing!
June at her finest!Loved her! She acted the fool but actually she was a very smart woman! RIP JUNE! NEVER FORGOTTEN! Hank was a sex symbol in his hay day! I loved Hank also! RIP HANK! I still love your music!!
Never saw this side of June, how funny and talented was she :)
Reese Witherspoon didn't bring us a accurate copy in the movie.
Then you never knew anything about June Carter. She was always the comedian of the family.
God has blessed us with June Carter Cash and Hank
1959.. I was 4 and went to square dances every weekend. I learned to dance and to love music.
I would LOVE to do square dancing like this. That's my fave part of this great video.
We were taught square dancing (in the South) in high school P.E. classes in the '60's!
@@commonsense6967 They taught it at our PE class in the mid 70s too. It was soooo much fun!
Hank Williams Sr. was good looking....Beautiful eyes.
Ya don't see entertainment like that no more. I remember watching these shows back in those days... I must be old...
Thank goodness
Darryl, are you African American? I can't see your picture that well. I was born a Rogers. Just wondering. I am white- perhaps Irish roots, English and Germanic, too. Just asking.
hanks voice has a blues holler tinge to it... it just cuts thru and sticks... neil young & dylan owe him a lot.
I can understand why Johnny fell in love with June.
Savage: I can understand why EVERYONE fell in love with June.
I JUST DID TOO!!!
From what I heard about Johnny . . . poor June.
@@rodmackinnon8497 Johnny was a drug addict and June was a homewrecker.
She's cute almost like a bigger Shirley Temple
this is wonderful . wish country music was still country.
Im 32 and love this!

Thank God for the Irish! Without them we wouldn't have country music or square dancing... and long may Hank's music be played!
I think all of them are wonderful whether they are singing or playing an instrument or both.
Wonderful!!! I love June!!!and hank!!!
This is What The World Need's More of Then All This Fighting And Shooting ,& That is Good Ole Country Music and Get Kicking Those Heels Up Amen.
I really think June has the best talents that nobody has so much! She was surely the best talented person in the world!! I love this lady so much!! 💕
LOLOLOL!! Thanks so much for such a great clip. Hard to believe that is the same June Carter who always seemed the epitome of calm after she hooked up with Johnny Cash. She was obviously a lot more talented than I ever realized.
You can really see the Irish roots in this type of folk dance.

Ole June was a spit fire back in the day!!!
It’s crazy how most of them are long gone but the video quality shows them in human and skeletal form in the face it’s eerie
What a treat to see video of two of the greatest entertainers to ever grace a stage. And Mother Maybelle too! Thanks for posting.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! What a great job by Hank and June!
🌷love this ad!. Great music!💃🎶🌷
The legendary Carter family, and Hank Williams...country music just doesn't get any better than this
Shes just adorable!!❤❤❤
Agree, and that was not my time era!
Thank You so very much for this post! Boy, did it bring Me back Memories too of the Square Dancing I was in Elementary School back in the 50's. This Indeed, is very rare footage.
Love June Carter Cash!!! The best
My all time favorite singer!
what a talent and beautiful soul..................some things are timeless..........June was a Treasure for sure :)
Wow u talk about legands of pure country music this man and June and her family wow 🤩
Have to agree.. just love June C (later J C Cash) The era of good CM is sadly coming to an end . Just love HW and JC what great contributors to the country music scene,
Sure I had to have a good time. Very entertaining and genuine. Life is great for the pure of heart. I love this.
Another one of Hank Williams songs I grew up with after love sick blues. This was country when it was real country. How could you not love this kind of music and entertainment. Even if you're not in such a great mood it puts you in a good mood. These people are fantastic all-time greats.
My left ear enjoyed this thanks...
I felt the same :D
Lmao I literally just checked my headphones to make sure they won't broken and right after that read this comment and spit my soda out LOL
Russell: I wonder if the right ear always goes first by default.
Yeah thanks for posting June Carter with Hank Sr wow . that was one of my dads idols the other was Bob Wills they had a stack of albums by all them. I knew June had to be young to be on same show while Hank was still alive.RIP to All these ole country singers 🎻
ILove this . I was born 50 years too late!
I had forgotten he was only 29 years old when he passed. It`s so sad to lose someone that young.
This is awesome. I love country music, along with bluegrass and fiddle music.
That’s what I grew up with. I learned how to yodel and still do lots of that..
Grew up listening to my daddy sing these songs. Hank is still the king of country.
June Carter cuttin' a rug! Never saw this before...
I was playing guitar in a little country town called "Kalgoorlie" in 1972 when I met June Carter & Johnny Cash
Love her too
Anita was always my favorite....my sister is named after her
I’m a huge Johnny Cash fan and I have my own country band. One of my most requested songs is Folsom Prison! I am very grateful that even though Cash did drugs off and on he lived to be quite old.
Back when life was simpler.
