Anita Carter - Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me

I know it's been sometime since I've uploaded some music, but it's a new year and I have a lot of things I plan to upload for everyone to enjoy, so I thought I'd start with the beautiful voice of Anita Carter

[@TheChief1313]

The best pipes that ever came down the streets in Nashville!

[@bazthehandyman]

Tremendous......you never get anything less from Anita....always etched in my memory.

[@wesleyhill4922]

I'm with you Andrew. Sadly, I never knew there was an Anita Carter; I was always focused on June Carter Cash. Now, I know there is more; much more!

[@sweetwilly]

like everything Anita does.. this just gives me tingles.. Thanks for posting

[@truthbetold3550]

WOW! One of the prettiest voices I've ever heard! June was cute, Helen was good, but Anita was fabulous!

[@ecmodell]

what a great and unforgetable voice!!!

[@tedav1953]

I suspect the only reason that she wasn't a superstar is that she was too wise. I think it was her choice. I greatly respect her for it.

[@tonylupo1764]

That in itself makes her a superstar in my eyes. Her voice is incomparable, A great among greats!

[@alfredgunasekara9466]

Chills down your spine..sweet sweet sweet love

[@hefewiseman]

wow , such a beautiful voice, ..all of her work is elegant ..just love the carter family stuff. and im more of a jazz guy ,but there is something so amazing about the appalachian stuff.

[@johnbartell6206]

Anita was in a class by herself a super star just some selections did not flatter her voice but boy when she hit it there was nothing to compare to. Thank you who ever for this music.

[@WildPhotoShooter]

Elton would be overjoyed by this version of his song I'm sure.

Simply fabulous!

[@baritonebynight]

I am an opera singer (not world class but not too shabby either) and mostly only listen to classical/operatic voices. However, one of my favorite voices from of any genre belongs to Anita Carter....pure raw natural talent. I wish I could have heard her vocalize because her registers blend perfectly and I'd love to know if she knew how she did it or if it just came naturally.

[@dougbird6154]

Love her

[@libertyann439]

I feel the same about Judith Durham. You should listen to her! Lead singer of The Seekers, a 1960s group from Australia.

[@davedrolett6890]

What a pure florless female voice for song.

[@ecmodell]

ok, I'm 56, and I also never heard about Anita Carter.... here in Austria we know "only" Johnny Cash (its ok), but who knows in "good old europe" a Carter family/sisters? youtube bring me to this great and impression music. This time, October 2011 I heard about Anita, and its really a wounderful and extraordinary experience. I hope more Austrian and European people learn to know more about Anita and the Carter Sisters! especially Anita!!!!

[@hugeelen]

I am sure the angels must be jealous to her

[@kerryg100]

we all know all about you here you angel Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for the memories Anita

[@mbrand19971]

It's unfortunate Anita Carter never got the acolaides of a great singing voice she had and she perhaps may had bene the most versitile vocalist of the Carter Family and she could sing just about everyhting from pop, folk, & country. This song is a good example of that and she did such a nice rendition of that Elton John/Bernie Taupin tune.

[@TheChief1313]

I would like to solve the mystery of why this voice was not out there..It could not be underated if it was heard.

[@hugeelen]

Great singer, unforgettable !!

[@libertyann439]

I'm sure Elton loved her rendition!❤

[@carlenecarter52]

OH-MY-GOD!!! I love Anita I love her voice and she is so pretty I have never heard this song before but it is just AMAZING where can I get it I MUST have it ! thanks so so much for sharing

[@skinheadfunboy]

@singasonglorriegirl I'm a rocker at heart, but I really loved her voice and how she carried herself. Mother Carter surely had something to do with that.

[@pattioros]

❤❤❤

[@timjmoran]

This is pretty great ... I wonder what Anita could have done had she gotten hold of, say, Some classic Burt Bacharach tunes. I think she could definitely done some other styles besides country. Not that I don't love her country Stuff.. I DO !!

[@ihatedinonuggets]

She did a lot of folk stuff, especially in 1962, you should check it out. My favourite is a song she wrote called As The Sparrow Goes, it's not only my favourite song from her but also my favourite song of all time, and for good reason.

[@ihatedinonuggets]

She also did some pop music as well.

[@rockhard2654]

she had rumitiod arthritis, the medication the used to controll thatt damaged her liver, happens to alot of people its just the way it goes

[@claraty287]

If swarovski crystal could sing it might come close to anita carter

[@carlenecarter52]

Why did she die so young? She was only 66. :(

[@eyelettdreamsreseller3184]

She had Rheumatoid Arthritis when the not meds available ultimately ravaged her internal organs. It sure is sad.

[@wilmafogler2552]

What was the last CD she recorded before her death?

[@atheling1066]

I'm waiting for my copy of Together Again by the Carter Family to arrive from Amazonwhich I think was recorded in 1991. She features on Clinch Mountain Memories from 1993 but I can't locate a copy of that or The Helen Carter Collection which incorporates that album

[@wilmafogler2552]

atheling1066 did you ever get the Helen Carter Collections CD
