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.
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!!
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
...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.
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.
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.....
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
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 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
God. Today as we observe Good Friday. I come to you on a means of communication contemporary to my time to publicly reaffirm my faith and heart to you. In Jesus’ name. Please fill us with the hope, joy and salvation that only you are capable of doing. Thank you God, in Jesus’ name amen.
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!!!
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!
Paul said we are all (even Johnny) sinners and fall short of the glory of God. This song beautifully and hauntingly tells of our redemption and forgiveness. I have never heard it sung so well. But t6hen, there have never been human voices as great as these. a Catholic Bishop
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!
Tengo 55 años y es nostálgico que no se cante música, con tanta rresponsavilidad y entrega ,el rrespeto se define ,enla calidad tanto de voces como de letras desde. Colombia, un abrazo
Hearing the Carter Ladies singing in perfect harmony is just like Heavens window opened up and we can hear the sweet songs sung by the glorified Angels themselves !!
I could listen to this forever and probably have. June Carter has such a beautiful voice always blends well with Johnny cash's deeper voice. Thanks for the share, it's a wonderful video.

Yes we will, in Heaven, I think. 😊
He loved Jesus so very much.
Blessings to you 🙏❤️😇
When Anita hit those high notes it makes my hair stand on end.
That was June not Anita
Anita had a beautiful voice

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 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.
There is nothing better than old school gospel.
Amen
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
When Anita Carter starts to sing all the flowers of the wildwood seem to blossom.
THAT IS BECAUSE WILDWOOD FLOWERS GROW IN SW VIRGINIA!!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (March 27), I played this for Sunday School Assembly.
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
These women's voices are so pure.
compared to what 🤔😬
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!
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

Wel said
I lived his life when I was those ages he was and came out clean with love and family

You climb the walls for a few days and then your on your own
-K.Richards
That’s the truth
most inspriational song ive ever heard lead me to Jesus thank you..
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..... 🙏
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
Where has talent like this gone. Magnificent voices.
I have chills of a glorious feeling every time I listen to this song.
Absolutely angelic..the Carter family and Johnnys's deep voice blended together in a signature sound that made them famous as no other couple!
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.

that make me cry
Oh my. Goosebumps, shivers and tears hit me at the same time. She sure had a voice.
I was there! In my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ's heart, I was there through all of this! I will praise Him!
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.
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.
ua-cam.com/video/vwc4vjlQxJo/v-deo.html
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
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.
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.
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.
How beautiful to hear such beautiful and I wasn't born yet ,BUT MY SINS WERE I PRAY THAT JESUS CHRIST WILL FORGIVENESS
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!
Blessed Easter everyone.
I love it when the say the word “tremble” also the music has beautiful harmony
Love love nothing but love for all of them
The Carters loved Johnny so much.
I take time to listen to this timeless gospel song every Good Friday .
Peace to all !
Simply beautiful music
...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.
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
We just played this at church for our Good Friday service. Sunday's a comin'
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.
I know what you mean.
Anita's voice brings a tear to my eye. And I was just listening to black metal for a while.
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.
One Of Johnny Cash & Carter Family Best Songs.
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!
This song takes me away from everyday living. It pulls me into the depth of Him. Feel me Lord.
Awesome song. brings tears to my eyes
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.....

Chills all over. My gosh, at the talent right here.
God Blessed us with these Talents! Glad I am Still able to enjoy this! Thank you.
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!
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
So good!!
this really is breathtaking, music today has nothing on the past.
Johnny Cash is simply amazing. And Mother Maybelle is country at it's best. Thank you for this!
Splendid rendition of this Easter anthem. Makes one tremble. Blessings 💜🙏🏽

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

Love this song. Listened to different variations my opinion this is the best one out there. Something about JC pulls at my heart. Bygone days.
11 people weren't there, I like that, never thought of it that way. Thank you
I cant listen to this song without getting chills
Absolutely Beautiful. Sometimes it causes me to tremble too
I start crying when they sing that song. It is beautiful

Johnny is the a prime example of a true Christian. A man of faith obviously fighting many demons but Never denying the TRUTH!
My gosh Anita was fabulous.
I was there Johnny, I was there. Alleluia 2022
You must be about 2000 years old then 😂
Anita Carter's voice causes me to tremble.
Shivers on my back !!!!!!
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!!!
what a beautiful song
I enjoyed this very much...thank you..very touching...some lovely times that family had.
Sweet Anita Carter's voice...
Johnny Cashs appearance really added to the overall somberness of the song. Beautifully done.
This song causes me to tremble, and feel the power and love of our savior 💛 it shakes me right down to my core

Brought Tears to my eyes
