Johnny Cash "Ballad of a Teenage Queen"

Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show. March 08, 1958.

[@margueritesavoie8378]

I saw him in person sing this song in 1958

[@RedBananas]

marguerite savoie but.. it didnt even exist in 58

[@cornycontent1915]

Liar

[@doofus0123]

uh.... Yeah, it did exist in 1958. Must have existed in 1957, actually, as it was released 2 Jan 1958, according to this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballad_of_a_Teenage_Queen

[@tombrown6628]

marguerite savoie - we were a lot younger in those days. Remember this one well !

[@richardlahan7068]

Saw him in 1977.

[@ssga_tgbuddy3082]

His songs are so haunting...In the way that you start listening and it envelops you and goes deeper than just your ears. You listen and feel the story. And you never want it to end.

[@ruialbertocosta1886]

You're so right ! The man was an awesomely talented artist ! Watching his video songs his voice has something mystical in it...he leaves me kind of awe struck.

[@scootermom1791]

Well said!

[@idriveatitleist]

Brings chill bumps to me

[@sean9448]

Yes, Johnny Cash and Gordon Lightfoot. Two musical singer-songwriters whose songs one never wanted to end.

[@KYIRISH1]

Johnny before June. Pretty smooth. Takes me back to high school days. RIP Johnny.

1956 june et Johnny a ete rencontre grand ole , ils sont amoureux a cette annee

[@rockwilcox4390]

Johnny Cash had many fine songs throughout his career, but this one is my personal favorite...Solid!!

[@briancox3691]

This is the first JC record I bought, in 1955/6. It changed my life. Been a JC fan ever since and I met him and spoke to him a couple of times, in London and Paris.

[@JohnAllen-gg1oz]

I thought I had first heard this song in 56 or 57, but research says it was released in very early Jan of 1958.

[@tracishoults5852]

I love Johnny cash and i really wish he was still alive

[@glen7318]

Dont we all?

[@desatormentandome]

Every one of us!!

[@Titanicicebergrighthead]

I agree!!!❤

[@EvieAnn84]

He was so young. Love his voice!

[@rbetts2022]

He was about 27 years old when he released this

[@Knopfauge76]

So so handsome

[@jirijohnnyknoll1339]

I believe I will meet Johnny when I die. Please God

[@wrenspence1936]

What classic early Cash and what wonderful memories of my childhood listing to am radio in the kitchen!

[@rickhensley5963]

My all-favorite and it never grows old. RIP Johnny Cash.

[@covertocoverbookreviews6721]

The best and most recognizable voice ever !!

[@marvincool3744]

Good music that tells a simple classic story. I usually don’t have favorite artists, but Cash is my favorite for sure.

[@mccloudfrank]

Good lookin' Johnny Cash singin' "Ballad of a Teenage Queen", recorded at Sun and written by "Cowboy" Jack Clement 🎙🎵😘

[@jesvramone]

Yesterday I heard this song the first time in my life -with this video-, and I can't stop singing :)

[@davepolo1079]

"You'll hear it all at the candy store.". Love it! Love it!

[@torirochester2829]

I believe back in the 50s or 60s my great grandma and grandpa would travel to all of his shows near them for years. One night my great-grandma had gone to so many shows that he had actually recognized her said something and gave her a rose. To this day my grandma my great grandma's daughter still has signed records from that night.

[@JohnAllen-gg1oz]

You know, one really does have to die. When you lived in the 50s and knew how absolutely wonderful this nation was, and how it has deteriorated to the nihilism it is today.

[@rjohn3471]

Sad, poignant, true.

[@greenl2472]

No one will be what he was . More than a legend.

[@za7mya]

ugh his voiceee !! it’s so amazing.

[@michaelconnolly4531]

One Of My Favorite Songs From Johnny Cash

[@patricklanny7939]

this was one of the first records I ever heard when I was little still love it

[@JohnAllen-gg1oz]

I've been in love with this song ever since it hit the airwaves in 1958. I've played and sang it through the years and it is still one of my all time favorites. I first began to notice music on the radio in 1956 rock n' roll/rock a' billy caught my ear and I couldn't sit still. What a truly wonderful time in our history.

[@lorenjohnson7488]

Cute love song, back then it was possible, that story would never happen this day and age

[@charlescanterbury9762]

Lynnette Young, The Teenage Queen , wherever you are, i never stopped loving you.

[@corneliadenninger5395]

John Cash so young and handsome and with an amazing voice before the drugs took him. /CD

[@Jasder]

He lost the part of being young and handsome but the voice it was with him till the end

[@corneliadenninger5395]

​@@JasderAgree!!

[@torirochester2829]

There are certain songs by Johnny Cash that I just truly deeply in my heart on a deep emotional level that I would love to do covers of. You know when you can just feel really deeply into your heart and just cry and sing connecting to the universe.?

[@63DW89A]

What a great music show the Beech-Nut Show was! Incredible variety in music. Wish a TV show like this were possible today. Of course modern music (Country, Rock & Pop) would have to get their act together with artists of genuine talent. And Dick Clark was also one-of-a-kind.

[@belkishenderson4591]

I love this version! I guess, is the original version. I love Johnny Cash.

[@DesiDude297]

Hes a good looking guy, just like my great grandfather whom he looks eerily similar to in this performance.

[@Birdwash]

Wow

[@richardstenson7301]

Not many people realize that this was the biggest-selling single that Johnny ever had.

[@thesoundchekguy]

...and he also hated the song.

[@jonnychingas5757]

Johnny's biggest selling single was "I walk The Line" This was his third biggest seller.

[@BrianKeeleMusic]

jonny chingas correct , johnny even says in a interview with Larry king that I Walk The Line was his biggest seller he ever had and he hated the way it sounded when it came on the radio and called Sam Phillips and told him to take it off the radio lol Sam said. Well you're gonna have to call Alot of radio stations cuz they're playing it everywhere lol so I think you're confused ,it was not this song he hated at first but rather walk the line

[@ddivar8149]

my fav

[@davidstevens5602]

@@BrianKeeleMusic I believe Waylon recorded the song the way Johnny intended it to sound.

[@markwakely1498]

Heard this song a few months ago on the Paul Gambaccini on BBC radio 2, didn't know is was a johnny Cash song, a brilliant song.

[@WE-in7qs]

It’s not bob Dylan wrote it I think

[@FriendlyRambler]

I love this song!

[@MissKitty-qf7jp]

Love johnny cash thanks for all great music 2019 Nov god bless. R.i.p. God bless you Johnny

[@22lyric]

I haven't heard this song in years. I just watched an episode of the Marty Stuart show from 2010 and the writer of this song, Cowboy Jack Clement was on so I googled to see what he had done. Love this song. He passed away in 2013.

[@nicolavivarelli4127]

Gteat voice...unforgettable Johnny Cash !

[@LoneStranger0]

Timeless .... and still a marvellous song!

[@kevinceniceros1690]

This song, Cry Cry Cry, and I Still Miss Someone are my favorite songs from Johnny Cash and his band. His other early songs are the best, too.

[@anthonybevilacqua3074]

A song so simple and so corny but so good.

[@IMambyI]

I remember my dad playing this in his truck when a was a little kid. Such a good song, I'm so glad my dad raised me up with county music

[@ruialbertocosta1886]

What an icon, musically talented artist !

[@nyanewratto1680]

Best part of this song is that sharp humming voice. What a harmony. Great music.

[@davidstevens5602]

On stage, while humming this song, Johnny looked down at me & asked ''What are you doing down there, Kid ?'' ... I was just taking photos & I call that ''THE DAY JOHNNY CASH SPOKE TO ME !''

[@WE-in7qs]

[@belvinsweat7742]

Love this song.

[@paulhenrydallaire]

I sold the same guitar a J200 to 'Stompin Tom Connors' back here in Canada in the late sixties. A beautiful piece of work. I was working as a salesman for Drouin's Music Store in Timmins, Ontario at the time. Johnny had it on an Album cover with his song Mr. Lumberjack.

[@CashPresley32]

That album was called "Ride This Train", because it had "Lumberjack" on it, but he didn't have a guitar on the cover. It was a pic of him holding a gun, with a train in the background.

[@paulhenrydallaire]

+CashPresley32 Hi! I know what your saying I have the album, in any case it was a J200. The pic I'm speaking about is Johnny is sitting on a pile of wood in his suit with his bow tie holding a J200 with his name imbedded in the fret board. I think I may have that album also. I've also got 'Everbody loves a nut' album and 'Songs of our soil'

[@CashPresley32]

Paul Henry Dallaire Oh I saw that pic. He had the same guitar on the cover of the album "The Fabulous Johnny Cash." Thanks for the info Kenny from Grants Pass, Oregon.

[@thedarkdescent2387]

rest in peace Johnny

[@flaviocruciani8563]

lyrics 02:10, i think the writer meant that she was dishonest because she came back to him after the big life and doing and seeing anything , only because it went wrong, and she took for granted that the poor boy was waiting for her, just because he was stuck there and could not do anything else.

[@petes_uke]

a ballad associated with my young years

[@michaelminikel3014]

hard to believe this was his biggest song!!!!!!!

[@snottyfufu]

Those were not the Statler Bros They didn't join him until the 1960s. Johnny was 26 years old in 1958. WOW.

[@curtis4223]

Too soon? He lived a great life and a good age considering the amount of drugs and alcohol he took for like 10-15 years, it doesn't matter if he's gone his music lives on basically he lives forever

[@richardbot-mx8jr]

Yes.. considering the amount of drugs.. he could have lived 15-20 more years easy without the drugs, he lost the ability to walk and was in a wheelchair at 67. The drugs from 56-68 ( light in 56-58 and than hardcore in 59-62 and than worse from 63-68 ) took a huge toll

even though it`s his song, back then it was mostly done with studio recordings. so unfortunately no live version.

The backing vocals make this...

[@63DW89A]

Agreed. Brilliant use of background vocals.

[@RM-eo3uu]

The backing vocals are done by the Gene Lowery singers. They were on a number of Johnny's recordings during the sun record years.

Wish there was a sequel song, like how Buddy Holly had Peggy Sue and then Peggy Sue Got Married

Are those the Statler brothers singing background? This was before they started their quartet, but the high voice sounds like Lew DeWitt, One of the Statler brothers, but I understand the Jordanaires sang background for him, before the Statler brothers did

+Jeff Hill No it was not.

[@mt3311]

+Rick Street The background singers were the Gene Lowery Singers. They are the backing vocals on all of the sun sides. This song was written by the producer, "Cowboy" Jack Clement. The melody is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. The Statlers didn't come along until 1964, this is from 1958.
