There is nothing better than old school gospel.

Anita oh my that voice makes me tremble. Beautiful 😢

[@cashfan46]

Anita Carter is the singer with the incredible voice. June's younger sister was gifted with one of the most beautiful, pure soprano voices in country & folk music.

[@williampoff3096]

Heaven. Pure Heaven. The Carter Family were from Maces Spring Virginia, The heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains...........My heritage, they make me proud!! God bless them and Johnny Cash!! Pure legends!!

Is Anita the second from the left?

[@johnnymac8680]

@@blakeplummer3668 That's Anita second from the left. She would have had her 27th birthday in 1960.

[@TheBushfish]

Sometimes it causes me to tremble 😉

[@traviskoller]

Left to right, Helen, Anita, June, mother Maybelle

[@maryannanderson2213]

Anita is the perfect person to sing that high part of this song. Her voice is literally like an angel's. Johnny looks like he has been doing some hard living and does not feel at all well. He looks like he's at least 20 or 30 pounds underweight. I'm so glad he got through this terrible place alive! He was truly dancing with the devil but fortunately he won!

[@shaunely63]

Anita Carter...I'm unsure how to describe her voice. One thing's for certain though, whenever I hear her sing, her voice travels straight through me.

[@saragarratt4397]

True talent, we will never see the likes again.

[@kd5hms63]

Close your eyes and imagine listening to the glorified angels singing in perfect harmony while sitting along the crystal sea in the shadow of the Holy Throne of God...the Carter ladies are as close as you get here on Earth!

[@axeman4071]

When Anita hit those high notes it makes my hair stand on end.

[@stirfry1979]

That was June not Anita

[@lindonduke978]

Anita had a beautiful voice

[@kd5hms63]

Absolutely angelic..the Carter family and Johnnys's deep voice blended together in a signature sound that made them famous as no other couple!

[@tennisbumojai]

Wow! Anita had the most beautiful voice. Johnny was clearly living the hard life at this point....makes the song even more powerful. So thankful for live performances from that time.

[@iVenge]

Johnny always held on to God, even when he was raising hell on earth. May he rest in eternal peace.

[@doanldraney9073]

🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Amen

[@kd5hms63]

The "Carter's" are the closest to hearing angels singing here on earth; that you will hear ! They were blessed with so many talents as clearly magnified in this old powerful spiritual song!

[@janetwilhelm4435]

I know what drugs can do..this only confirms that Johnny WAS one of us.And from my drug abuse it leaves me trembling all the time,to me its just the Lord's breath comforting me.

[@lvejohnnyandjune6513]

Same here I know what it's like being addicted it's the hardest thing to quit

[@AdrianaK]

You know, when I see Johnny here, I don't see a man in his thirties high on amphetamines, destructive and angry. I see a little boy scared and completely broken seeing his big brother cut almost in half, in blood, and then dying. I see a troubled boy, being struck by guilt all his life. A boy who saw his mother's worst day. A boy who was not supported so much by his father. A boy who needed to fight these demons in some ways. A boy finding amphetamines and then getting drained by them, sleepless, weary and so so lonely. I can really understand what June saw in him and why she had this strong urge to fight for him. And thank God she did.

[@hildahaselnuss620]

Just read your comment for the first time. It's so full of love and empathy, it made me cry. Thanks very much.

These women's voices are so pure.

[@jimboslice9472]

compared to what 🤔😬

[@kwtfradio]

Regardless of one's religious views this is great, the harmony of the Carters and the background music, perfection, Johnny does look a little stoned and this was done much later than 1960 due to the quality of the color picture, probably about 1966 like one other posted. I grew up with the music of Johnny Cash and never tire of listening to him, whether he was stoned or sober.

[@elizabethmerriman531]

I have chills of a glorious feeling every time I listen to this song.

[@BanjoRomo]

The Carter family's vocal harmonies on this song are so powerful. Personally, I see gospel music as just music and do not seek any guidance nor truth from it. However, I greatly admire the performance here by Johnny and The Carter Family.

[@fewinfield96]

This beautiful song gave me chills when I first heard it and still gives me chills every time I play it. One of the most beautiful gospel songs ever! Johnny got off the stool and out of the picture so the Carters could have the stage to themselves. A very sensitive move and anyone who finds trouble with it needs to reevaluate their sensitivity to others.

[@MoreThorin]

Great song! Timeless and amazing, and when Anita sings it's like the sound of angels! Just so touching on so many levels... Johnny looks

Johnny looks like he's just started to work his way back from rock bottom, and he owes so much to the help and support of the entire Carter family. Great, great song!!!

Johnny Cash's rendition of this old gospel song is so so sad yet provides us with hope. My heart always cries out each and every time I hear this old gospel song, since it did the very first time I heard it. The Carter Family's background vocals adds intensity to the lyrics. Jesus of Nazareth let his blood run down from his cross on Calvary at Golgatha just for our sins. RIP Johnny Cash. God bless all this Holy Friday and Easter Sunday!
