Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash: One Piece At a Time

Weekend Music

Something a little different from them. June doesn't actually sing in this one.


 

Ok, you want something more romantic from these two, I know. Here you go: someone put together "Ring of Fire" in separate versions by each of them, with a montage of images from the excellent movie Walk the Line. The words of the song, as you may know, were in fact written by June about Johnny.

    I’ve got to put that movie on my Netlix queue. BTW, when Cash was selling vacuum cleaners door to door, he was working for my granddaddy.

  2. So that gives you a bit of famous-person-proximity charisma. Congratulations! 🙂
    I notice those Johnny & June videos have all sorts of comments about them being in heaven together, and I think they probably are, but people tend to forget, thinking of the romance, that their relationship began in adultery, so the journey to heaven may not have been so straightforward as we tend to assume.

    I got some of that! My mother sold clothes to June Carter from her London shop in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Or was it June Carter’s daughter?
    Walk the Line is a very good romantic movie.

  4. I am trying without success to figure out how I can connect myself to either Johnny or June.
    This is interesting: his first wife was Catholic, and they had a Catholic wedding where the priest was his wife’s uncle. If that was in the movie I’ve forgotten it.

    We’ll all meet up in purgatory with the Carters if we are lucky.

  6. I’ll drink to that!
