Anita is one of the all time best singers I've ever heard. They don't make them like her anymore! Great video, thanks.

there will never ever be a voice as pure and just amazingly beautiful as anita carter. I was born 30 years too late.

Imagine this is just some random TV show from the 1950's; these two live doing what virtually nobody could duplicate.

Anita had a beautiful, pure voice. She was the best singer in the Carter family. Notice how tasteful Chet's guitar fills are. He was such a gifted player! He used to back the Carter Family before he became famous on his own.

When 3-4 of the greatest singer/ musicians end up staying together for as long as the Carter family did I do not think you can consider it a trajedy. I enjoyed Anita singing with her 2 sisters more than any music that I have ever heard except when their mother was with them. They were all great and even greater together. You very well might be right about Anita being the greatest singer of all time. I sure love the way she sings the lead in All Smiles Tonight. Shes was fantastic.

Anita could've been on top of the charts for many years had she pursued a solo career!!! She always seemed to yield to the men, or to her family and stay in the back ground. What a shame. The Carter Sisters have long been overlooked for Hall of Fame inductions!!!

what a combination - poignantly angelic voice and spot-on perfect guitar accompaniment. thank you for the video!

Anita was very appreciated. Everyone knew she had the best voice in the business. She didn't like a lot of attention and made it as far in music as she wanted to. We all know she could have been a huge star, but I really don't think she cared to be one. I heard that out of the Carter family, she was least enthusiastic about performing. I am just glad we have these videos to be thankful for. More would have been nice, but Anita did it her way!

Besides Anita's super voice, look at the perfect performance of Chet's rhythum/lead guitar!!! No one plays like that today.

Social Distortion did a cover of this song many years ago. I thought it was an original until my dad heard the Social D version and told me that was a song from when he was a kid. The original version is a great song too!

Chet used to call Anita for recording session dates on upright bass. She was also that good on a difficult instrument.

it's amazing, i first heard this song by Social D, thought it was great, i get on youtube, then find Emmylou's version, then Kitty's version. now this version. this song has a life of it's own, because it's a great song. i love every posting of it. thanks for posting! Chet is one of the greatest guitarists ever, adding Anita Carter was frosting on the cake!

I agree 100% about the success of the Carter Family and Carter Sisters. I just meant that Anita would've held a place as one of the top 3 greatest female soloists of country music history, and may have well earned a solo spot in the Hall of Fame had she went out on her own. She had the talent.......... I loved Kitty, Loretta, Patsy, and the other great ladies, but Anita's voice was pure music from the first note. I don't think there was anything she couldn't have sang.

@farmgent I think you're on target. Patsy transcended country and was so cosmopolitan. She's incredible, but Anita had that purity of the hills...so blue collar and lonesome. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

Chet's first gig was with the Carter Family on WNOX Mid Day Merry-Go-Round. Then he went to Nashville and the rest is history.

Such a shame she got almost no recognition while her sister, June, (who couldn't sing for crap) always got center stage. Anita's voice gave me cold chills, June's gave me an urge to buy earplugs.

Anita may be the best singer of a superb family. Too bad she was plagued by arthritis. And, Chet, well has there ever been more "feeling" extracted from steel strings? Peace, Spang

In my opinion Anita has a smoother and sweeter voice than Patsy Cline. Both great but I like Anita better, any one else agree? *This is just my opinion so please, no nasty responses.

I saw Anita Carter on the Johnny Cash television show sing a beautiful song. In 1993 she was on the show with Johnny and June in Branson, and reminded her of it. I wish I could remember the name of the song. She wore a long buckskin dress with fringe. It might have been the Indian Love call, or something like that. Does anyone remember her singing it?

I agree with you, farmgent. I have always considered Anita Carter to have had the best female voice ever, until I met.........Susan Boyle last year on Britian's got Talent. Their voices/singing styles are totally different, so I consider both of them my to be my favorites! (I was never that ehthralled with Patsy Cline; good, but not that great.

You are very ill informed about Atkins. He was also a master at playing recording sessions where he did not necessarily play his signature thumb/fingerstyle. His style was much more than fully developed when this video was made. Atkins always said that his best playing was from about 1950-1955.

In Traditional Country Music, Anita Carter had no equals! There wasn't a prettier voice out there as far as I'm concerned. It's a tragedy that she was to become nothing more than a "back up" singer for Johnny Cash! She should've had a career of her own and a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame........... Just my opinion of course.

The best voice in the Carter family but the least appreciated. Far better than June but real commercial sucess never quite came due to her affliction with Rhumatoid arthitis. The drugs that she took for this condition damaged her pancreas and eventually ended her life at 66. One can only wonder what might have been had Anita struck out on her own from the beginning. On the personal side, three marriages and four divorces didn't help.

@farmgent Anita Carter is great. sweeter sure, but smoother is a toss up. I prefer Patsy Cline because she cries while she sings. Yes, Anita Carter was always country, and country royalty at that, but although Patsy enjoyed cross over success, deservedly, she always had that country pain in her songs, and has always been able to affect me more than Anita.
