Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash - Jackson!

[@paulalloyd8860]

She and her family perform. That's how they met. She wrote ring of fire

[@allenruss2976]

Oh yes she was definitely a singer. She was from one of the most legendary families in music. Her family was one of pioneering founders of country and gospel music. They are the Carters. John met June when he toured the with the Carter family. John was married to Vivian but left her for June. Johnny chased her for yrs. They were married 35 yrs until her death. She was the love of his life

[@meliplay]

And June was married to Carl Smith. It was scandalous at the time but their love johnny and June was real

[@jewls9697]

They loved each other, but it was a very tumultuous relationship!!

[@florencehallahan56]

Love of his life, but he cheated on her!

[@florencehallahan56]

Odd he said that she was the "love" of his life, he cheated on her and broke her heart.

[@quintondees4501]

June was a pretty famous singer before she met Johnny, they met on your together

[@karensilvera6694]

Thanks!! I grew up with Johnny and the Carter family on my radio. The Carters started entertaining nearly 100 years ago. So Johnny definitely married up - he'd be the 1st to agree. Try Worried Man Blues or Daddy Sang Bass.

[@cherylb309]

Joaquin Phoenix plays Johnny Cash in the movie Walk the Line based on the autobiography written by the singer.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

It's a good movie. Reese Witherspoon plays June. Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor and did a great job portraying Johnny.

[@TexasMagnolia]

The Carter Family is Country Royalty. You must watch “Walk the Line”

[@carvin2003]

I came to say this. You beat me to it.

[@ramonaljensen]

Then after you watch "Walk the line" which is from Johnny's point of view, you have to watch "Ring Of Fire". That is June's perspective.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

[@andreadeamon6419]

Same. My fiancee watches the movies like every 2 months

[@mitchchartrand]

And bluegrass. "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" and "Keep On the Sunny Side" are some of their more well known songs. "Wabash Cannonball" one of my favorites. Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash surprised me with her rendition of "Wildwood Flower" in Walk the Line.

[@melissawood1506]

They were still together when he passed, she passed not long after he did.

[@angelado3]

"She died of complications from heart surgery at age 73, just four months before Johnny Cash died."

June saved Johnny's life. Without her, he would have been in prison or dead.

[@chrismorey6592]

If you look back at Johnny's video for HURT, you will see the love and pain in June's eyes as she stood over him on the stairs. Their marriage was not without issue, but they spent their lives together and were pure ROYALTY in the industry. May they Rest In Peace. I know i miss them.

BTW - They were married for 35 years until her death - sadly he died just a few months later - He said he didn't want to live without her - he was only 71 so he left us way too soon!!! She was the love of his life!!!

[@WolvenHeart1]

June was the one who brought Johnnie back to sobriety and faith. She was his Guardian Angel.

[@Morgaine]

They were absolutely glowing! They were mad in love, just had their baby, this was on his TV show - life was good for them then. June was one of the funniest people ever - she came from Country Music royalty.

[@jayhank5838]

They had quite a love story. The woman literally saved Johnny's life. He was headed to an early grave because of his drug abuse but she gave him a reason to live and was with him in his darkest times. He came back stronger than ever, and the rest is history.

[@dirtydave7567]

June Carter Cash is the daughter of "Mother" Maybelle Carter. Maybelle and June's uncle A.P. Carter and the Carter family are the pioneers of country music. This family is from the same place that I grew up, in Southwest Virginia. This family is like royalty around here. There's a country music museum in Bristol, Tennessee that is basically a tribute to this family. This area is considered the birthplace of country music, and it started with the Carter family. Johnny and June would come to the Carter family fold once a year during the summer, and you would have thought that the president had come to town. In a county of less than 18,000 people at the time, there would be people there from miles around. It's one of those situations that you really can't understand it unless you were there. Plus Johnny would also bring other big name artists with him like, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stewart (that was Johnny's son in law at the time), Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and a host of others.

[@duanehelton4800]

July/August of 1927, The Carter Family and Jimmy Rodgers (in separate sessions) were recorded by Ralph Peer in Bristol TN/VA. This was the first 'recorded' country music. The Carters are THE FIRST FAMILY of country music, and Jimmy, its first country music star, if you will. The Carters sang old time music, mainly from the Appalachians, and Jimmy sang old negro work songs that he added yodels to.

[@lindamullins7449]

Where ya from?? Im from Wise!! Live in Knoxville now but very proud of my gospel, country, bluegrass mountain roots❤

[@dirtydave7567]

@@lindamullins7449 I'm sorry that I just saw this. I'm from a little place called Copper Creek. It's just on the other side of Gate City. I used to drive my Jeep on High Knob over to flag rock and look over the town of Norton. I left there right after I graduated from high school and was in a job that took me around the world, and back again. And after 8 years I finished my commitment for that job, I settled in Florida for 5 years and worked for the county there. And during all that time I had wished that I had never left. My whole life before I left, I wanted to be anywhere but there. But, you can never go back. I'm in Kingsport, Tennessee now. I've been here for 24 years now. Yeah, I'm just a short drive away from there, but it's just not the same. My old home place is no longer standing. All of my family is gone. I still have friends that I see when I go to watch my Blue Devils play football or basketball. I'm sure that you probably miss home as much as I do. Thanks for the comment. And holler back if you want. You can find me on Facebook under the same name,if you would like. And as always, GO BIG ORANGE 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊

Wise, VA? My father's family is from there.

[@yuritesticoff1141]

June died in May shortly after "Hurt"was filmed, Johnny followed her in September into the next life in the presence of the Lord. I remember this clearly as He & my great uncle who raised me for three months every summer until I was 18 died the same day.

[@lauramittler]

You have to watch "Walk The Line". It is a movie that John and June had input in. It is one of the best biopics ever. You will not be sorry, I wouldn't steer you wrong. It isn't just Johnny's story, it's Johnny and June's story. I know you feel a lot when it comes to Johnny, watch this movie and you will understand why. I don't think it will get in the way of reactions. Johnny and June approved of everything, it isn't romanticized drama, it's their story. You admire the man, now get to know him.

[@Linda-w8d]

"Jackson" was one of the most famous Cash/ June duets in their history. It was played on the radio like every 2 minutes. Both June and Johnny were so popular in the south, they were our southern dynasty. If you have not watched the movie, "Walk the Line." you need to. It is so educational about Johnny's life. Can't believe how much he is smiling in the video....he really glowed in June's presence.

[@johncarroll9489]

Such a talented woman from such a legendary family....and she was a great comedian too. Their story is one you should look into. She basically saved his life.

[@3DogKnight751]

Before June and Johnny married, June was one of the Carter Family gospel singers. The family sang the extremely well known song, "will the circle be unbroken." Put the Carter family on the map.

[@Yowza78]

As many have said, June was a member of the famous Carter Family. Her mother Mother Maybelle, who sang "Wildwood Flower" and was a guitar pioneer. The family were longtime members of Grand Old Opry, and Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters were regular performers there live, on the radio and in the early days of TV. June always played a comedic character in the family act ... and you can sort of see it here. Her character was sort of sassy, boy crazy and naive. It's said that Johnny fell in love with her from her stage performances. Little known fact: June moved to New York for a couple of years to study acting at the famed Lee Strasberg school, where she was classmates with Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Shelley Winters.

[@cathybrown8334]

When June says Jay Pan Fans that was referring to fans in the church usually donated by local companies for the ladies to fan themselves during church. Yes I’m old enough to remember those.

BP as you often say, Johnny was pure gangsta. He was once arrested by US Customs Agents in El Paso with his guitar stuffed with 1000 illegal pills. 😀

[@OhMagooYouveDoneItAgain]

Gangsta is selling drugs, not getting addicted to them and trying to sneak cheap ones in through El Paso, while the authorities totally know you're doing it. D'oh! He was an outlaw, but not so much gangsta, if that makes sense. lol.

[@williamlocasto5019]

Reese Witherspoon won a Best Actress Oscar for playing June Carter Cash in "Walk The Line." An incredible film!!!

[@kpiperjr]

BP! If you're really getting into Johnny, check out the movie Walk the Line. Not only is it a good movie, it also includes his interactions with a bunch of other singers back in the day. You'll appreciate how much being on the road took its toll on Johnny but also helped shape the last half of his life.

There is a Johnny Cash song that isn’t one that’s commonly known, that is one of my absolute favorites I think you’d enjoy. It’s called “The Baron” the has a video with it that has his wife and one of their sons play the roles in the song. I hope you check it out.

[@nightrider327]

June Carter was SO a singer. She came from the "1st family of country music". As other's have said. The carter family is 'royalty' when it comes to country/bluegrass music. The Carter family recorded their 1st song in 1927. That was June Carter's mama Maybelle, and her sister and sister's husband. By 1930 the family had sold over 300,000 albums. June Carter "joined" the group and started signing with the family in 1940 when she was 10 years old. In 1944 the family band disbanded and Maybelle and her 3 daughters formed a new group Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters. After the death of A.P. Carter in 1960, Maybelle and her girls started using the "Carter family" name again.

[@karimhicks8376]

Sadly, after June had passed away, Johnny was devastated, with a broken heart. Passing away not to very long afterwards. From the complications of Diabetes & a broken heart.

It was recorded in 1963 by the Kingston Trio, Wheeler, and Flatt and Scruggs. It achieved its most notable popularity with two 1967 releases: a country hit single by Johnny Cash & June C Cash

June was a much larger star than Johnny when they first met, she was a part of the original OG performing country family, the Carter Family. She performed with her mother Maybelle and her sisters June and Anita as for decades.

June was born into the first family of country music, she was mostly the comedian of the bunch but sang sometimes too. Johnny fell in love with her as generations of fans have too!

[@kayceegreer4418]

June Carter Cash is the epitome of what the love of a good woman, true to herself, her God, and her values, can do for a man's soul. Make sure you look up the lyrics to this song just in case you're not catching them all because there are some that are passing you by with no reaction whatsoever.

[@patriciakeith6755]

June along with her sisters Helen and Anita with their mother Mama Maybelle were on the Grand Ole Opry starting in the fifties. Mama Maybelle along with her cousin Sara and Sara's husband A.P. formed the Carter Family singers who started out in or around 1927. They are considered the first family of country music who 'essentially invented the kind of harmony singing used for years in country music and popularized numerous songs that became country standards'.

[@terrell48]

June Carter Cash was a performer part of the Carter Family they traveled and performed before she married Johnny Cash

[@cherylinman5873]

June was the comedian singer of her family group.

[@Renovion]

The Carter Family was HUGE and had a ton of fame and popularity before Johnny ever had his break. I think this is their song, but since then it has been covered 100 times.

[@dave-ox2eo]

June Carter a second generation of the First Family of Country music, started performing young. She was already a star of radio and TV when she and Johnny met. She thought of herself as more of a comedian than a singer. You can see a young June in Hank Williams' "Hey, Good Looking" video, which you should be on your list already, LoL! She wrote "Ring Of Fire" about Johnny, and said he was 'kinda scary' back then. And she told Johnny that he ought to get the lyrics to the song, "A Boy Named Sue", after he had played it at party in Hollywood. He had to read the lyrics as he played guitar, because he'd never heard the song before.

[@janicemeier2528]

They had a love that was special...June loved the Lord and I understand that Johnny came to know the Lord deeper through their marriage

they were together until she died, and Johnny followed her into eternity almost 20 years later.

[@samanthagerke5080]

The Carter family is country royalty, good church going Southern types. He’d been married and partying hard and diving face first into the rockstar lifestyle. June had encountered him and has feelings and after his divorce, the Carter family took him in and helped him get free and he loved June til the day he died. Their daughter Roseanne performs as well and does the dynasty proud. You mentioned seeing her in “Hurt”; I keep thinking it was like 10 days, but nope. She passed away 3 months later on May 15 and he followed close after on September 12 of the same year.
