Beautiful Harmony. I'm a rock and roll guy but I've always appreciate country music, especially before the 90s. The Carters were a force in country music at that time and Hank Williams escorted his career was, a hell of a musician and songwriter who left this Earth too early. It's almost like six degrees of separation. You have the Carters you have Hank Williams and you have Johnny Cash marrying one of the Carter sisters. This was an instrumental and Powerful time for country music period and when it comes down to it most music has it's connected in small and big ways. The PBS documentary on country music a few years back shows us that. I've rarely seen any clips on KZbin with Hank Williams or the Carters. This was special

She was the best female county singer of her time. She passed away at age 66, .

[@voraciousreader3341]

Nope! Anita could sing, and she played the guitar passably well, but it was Helen, the oldest sister, who was the most musically talented of the three!! She not only sang backup, she played the piano, autoharp, accordion, guitar, and mandolin, all at the professional level, and she wrote all of the group’s vocal arrangements; when writing those arrangements, she mastered the art of sending one voice after another into the lead, all within the same verse, woven so seamlessly that you have to really know their voices to be able to discern who picks up the lead, and where. It gives the group their distinctive sound when they all sing together, not just backing up one of the sisters. I’m sure Helen could have sung lead all the time, bc she had a beautiful voice, too, but her personality kept her in the background.

Her talent does not really shine through in the first part of the clip, when she is singing with the other Carters, but hang in there because it sure bursts through when she teams up with Hank Williams in the second part. What a voice!

[@voraciousreader3341]

Anita was decidedly _NOT_ the most talented of the three Carter Sisters. Historians rate Helen as the best overall musician/instrumentalist of the three, and I agree, wholeheartedly. She was also the most invested in keeping their history alive, and with her mother recorded songs for the Smithsonian. Anita may have had the best voice, but Helen chose not to carry the lead voice and instead sang harmony, and she was exceptionally good at playing the accordion, mandolin, guitar, piano and autoharp. She also was a master arranger, and did all of the arrangements of the songs they sang. I won’t go into technicalities for a vocal arrangement skill she was master of....you can read her Wikipedia article if you want to. Just bc a girl has a pretty face and a pretty voice doesn’t automatically translate to talent!

[@dickwarren5087]

@@voraciousreader3341 Well, I sure as hell ain't gonna get into a debate about whether the Carter sister with what you describe as "the best voice" of the sisters, was the most talented of them. You say that Helen was more talented in playing various musical instruments and in the composing and arranging of music. I have no reason to doubt you. Heck, for all I know, one of the others may have been more talented with keeping the books or a more talented cook. But, I think we are talking about singing here. And if having the best voice is not the criteria for most talented singer, I'd sure like to know what "decidedly" is. It's really all a matter of opinion, anyway. I will tell you this, when it comes to considering opinions of experts, historians are way down near the bottom on my list of expert opinions on musical talent. How other musicians view the sisters would carry a lot more weight with me than how historians rate them on musical talent. One other note: how much you want to bet that Maybelle had a lot more to say about which sister would take the lead vocals than either Helen or Anita.

She is an angel.. so pure and natural and unaffected. i love it when she first turns toward Hank and her gaze is all over him.. up and down.. and then she shyly looks down almost as if she was embarassed and ashamed. Beautiful smile. i was born in 1945 and had fantasy's about going to some country barn dance and meeting a girl like her.. although i was a bit of a wild man and trying to be with a girl like that would have done her no good. i've watched this duet over and over. A relationship with Elvis would not have lasted long... he was way too much of a skirt chaser. Hank Williams and her makes much more sense. She seems to be really smitten by him and they are equals in many ways.

I was born in 1945 as well. Grew up listening to Hank on the radio. I remember hearing about his death. The song I remember best from that time because it was such a fun song was Hey Hey, Good Lookin'. Everyone was singing it.

Did you see how Anita's face lite up on the first cord Hank Williams sang. That's hard to fake. I think she felt some thing for Hank.

Glenn Johnson CLASSIC!This is what real country music is all about!What a voice!

[@jackwalker1822]

What a lovely person and great singer. I saw two of the Carter sisters with Johnny and June Carter Cash in concert back in the 1990's. Not sure if one of them was Anita or not.

[@jackwalker1822]

What red-blooded man would not fall in love with Anita Carter watching this little clip with Hank Williams?

[@robertpadilla7990]

She doesn't look comfortable saying with him and see the look at her face when he sat next to her.

[@bobdoubter2977]

I'm sure it was all staged. She looks happy to me. She was stunning.

[@rocingersol5060]

It looked liked her heart melted when Hank sat down.

[@PlayitagainVHS]

She looked nervous, not uncomfortable.She probably was star struck.👍✌

[@jlda657412]

I think marrying a Carter might have kept old Hank with us a lot longer. It sure helped mister Cash.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

Hank started boozing at 11, JR was sucked into addiction much later. I doubt even June could have persuaded Hank that life was worth living.

[@splattered63]

Mr. Cash had her on the side

[@normancurragh768]

@@finosuilleabhain7781 We will never know, shame.

Well without Miss Audrey we wouldn’t have Hank JR so don’t go messing with the timeline since you don’t know what you’re doing.

Anita looks heavenly in this video in color. They way she looks at the camera with her eyes, her smile, she looks wonderful. Here I am commenting at a woman that is only three years younger than my Mom. I am being honest that if I were an eligible young man back then I would have been courting her after asking her Dad!!!

That Bass player is doin it fur me , she twangs me in all the right places

[@revpgesqredux]

Not afeared of a real woman 😍

[@lancemaltby895]

During the first song, my thought was,"eh, okay." During the second, "Oooh...now I see what the title is referring to."

[@xmo552]

Ok I'll wait for the 2nd song.

[@jimnorth5173]

Still lovin you for sharing this with us..

[@mattcarter1684]

Good God what a voice. Anita is by far the most talented singer of the Carter family. How she's not Loretta Lynn famous is a travesty.

Pure country, thank you much for sharing. I always thought Hank was a good looking man, Anita is stunning in her delivery and her dimples! Question- what was the reason Maybelle put her foot down?

[@nadyarossi5102]

I'd love to know!

[@margaretvardeman7847]

Tremendous beautiful singing
