I just watched the entire performance - amazing. His ties with the Carter family and the venue were absolutely pure Cash. Thanks for the link!

Truth is a stranger to the fiction Dept. A photo that set in motion a lot of problems for the couple. Johnny Cash was married to an African American woman in the 1950s.
They would say she was Italian ( which in itself could mean she has African blood, but suspected it was more than just that ) but the Klan down south gave them the side eye protesting him and his shows. "That was a perilous time to be an interracial couple, so give props to them both." Turns out the ” man in black “ was a true rebel and lived life on his terms, with respect! She ended up bowing out of the marriage ( after ten years and children, Roseanne Cash being one ), as the stress of it got to be too much for her. Even now in the movies, they don’t portray her as she was… |

On this date in 1963, JOHNNY CASH recorded RING OF FIRE (March 23rd 1963)
The video here is a rare 1964 performance from Johnny Cash singing his hit Ring of Fire on the Jimmy Dean Show. Written by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore and popularized by Johnny Cash in 1963, RING OF FIRE (or "The Ring of Fire") appeared on Cash's 1963 album, Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash. Originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter, on her Mercury Records album Folk Songs Old and New (1963) as "(Love's) Ring of Fire", the song has since been ranked No. 4 on CMT's 100 Greatest Songs of Country Music in 2003 and #87 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song was recorded on March 25, 1963, and became one of the biggest hits of Cash's career, staying at number one on the country chart for seven weeks. According to Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 Songs, June Carter wrote this song while driving around aimlessly one night, worried about Cash's wildman ways - and aware that she couldn't resist him. "There is no way to be in that kind of hell, no way to extinguish a flame that burns, burns, burns," she wrote. Not long after hearing June's sister Anita's take on the song, Cash had a dream that he was singing it with Mariachi horns. Cash's version became one of his biggest hits, and his marriage to June 4 years later helped save his life. The song was based on a poem Love's Ring Of Fire, and it was originally recorded in a more folksy manner by June Carter's sister, Anita, as "Love's Fiery Ring." Cash held back on his single to give her version a chance to chart. https://fb.watch/r6x5-OArFl/ Last edited by edtiques; 03-29-2024 at 08:10 AM. |

Vivian Cash’s maternal great-great grandmother was indeed an enslaved Black woman, Sarah Shields, whose White father in 1848 had granted her and her eight siblings their freedom and their passage into Whiteness, too. Shields married a White man — albeit illegally — and by the time Jim Crow arrived in the 1930s all of her children and their descendants were listed as White.

I think Willie's current list is a bag of weed and M & Ms.
