No one can sing like Anita Carter did. We saw her many times. Gorgeous gal.

[@bluephalanx]

No one definetly could sing like june sheesh she had a voice of her own

[@rcperry2000]

@@bluephalanx so did Helen

[@bradm.3775]

Unique Voices each of them

[@happyolddude]

I love this music from down here in Australia and was brought up on it. Anita is simply superb!

[@badbotchdown9845]

[@maryfizer9030]

[@13thworker45]

June's so beautiful and so beautiful! I love her so much.

[@john6218att]

what a God given talent they all have

[@steveendicott8149]

Wow! Every time I see and hear Anita Carter singing,I can't help but think,what a true talent and REALLY gifted voice,she had and I also can't help but wonder,how she got passed over as an amazingly talented singer;very underrated and how she was not more famous,than she was! Like I say,Country Music's loss.For the one asking,the last song is called Lonesome Valley!

[@roman14032]

SHE DIDNT GET PASSED OVER FOR STARDOM she passed on stardom everybody in the music business knew very well she was THE best

[@realmofthesenses]

I just watched an interview with Helen, and Anita telling she loved singing with her family more than having a very strong ambition for a solo career. However, she had a record contract and several solo hits.

[@79tazman]

The whole Carter Family is all musical talents I don't think one of them could not sing or play a instrument

[@markmoody9519]

Anita Carter could have been easily the "Female Vocalist of the Year" many times. Her voice was the very best! T. Mark Moody - Turner, Maine USA 04282

[@brendalarue9014]

So beautiful.... brings tears to my eyes.. :)

[@TonySkyRush]

Please go to the "Induct the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle into the Country Music Hall of Fame " page and press "Like" They have all passed away and are deserving .Anita,June and Helen.

[@aflsteve9139]

I have done, but if these ladies didn't deserve induction while they were alive, I can't imagine anyone else having been worthy of that right either. It really is a disgrace.

[@kathleensmith8554]

Beautiful Lorrie and her mom. Plus Rosie Nix and the rest of Helen's kids. So nice

[@1morehouse4me]

Grew up listening to all generations of this family. I feel like they are part of mine...

[@Spiritpup5]

BEAUTIFUL HARMONY!

[@helengwin]

i love the carter family and their songs

[@alexandraasbury9974]

52 years ago? You're saying that the Carter family has been making music since 1927? I had no idea!! I just think the best of June. Next to Jesus Christ, she was, in my opinion, the best thing that happened to Johnny Cash. Without her, he might've been lost.

[@folkarchivist]

Yes, Alexandra -- The Carter Family had their first recording session in Bristol, VA/TN, on August 01, 1927.

[@kathleensmith8554]

Love this, Lorrie. Love you, keep in touch which you do. God Bless

[@kathleensmith8554]

Thank God Lorrie, you keep in touch with me. Love this stuff.

[@sweetwilly]

Gives me the tingles.

[@eamonnobrien1410]

Beautiful voice

[@aces4715]

Pure talant.

[@craigmiller1870]

"Until today, her music circles the world." Haha, what made it end on that day.

[@kathleensmith8554]

I know we saw them, more than once.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Carter grandsons and grand daughters.

[@corneliadenninger5395]

Missed in this performance : Carlene Carter !! /CD

I absolutely love this shit.

[@MrScotty1322]

@helengwin from left to right David Jones, Lorrie Davis Bennett, Rosie Nix, Danny and Kevin Jones.

[@lynnechase6673]

Lorrie and Rosie are June's daughters; one each from her first two marriages.

[@MsPeterRichard]

@@lynnechase6673 Lorrie Davis Bennett is Anita's daughter with her husband Don Davis.

[@bobbeck5866]

The beautiful Helen was near as good as her mother as a guitarist, she could damn near make that Gibson talk

[@JesseJames-bv8mb]

Kind of odd that carlene Carter wasn't on stage. She was the most successful of the 3rd generation of carters

[@direfranchement]

Not really odd considering that she didn't really start performing with the sisters regularly until the 1980s and this performance appears to be from the 1970s.

[@INDIPENDENZA1]

What is the title of the second song ? It's so magnific !

[@skydiverclassc2031]

It's normally the chorus to a Billy Ed Wheeler song called The Reverend Mr. Black. I hadn't heard that verse before, so it might also be part of another song.

[@ccolby8593]

walk that lonesome valley or jesus walked that lonesome valley is how i know it.

[@craigmiller1870]

Is that mushroom symbology at the end? Also are they saying the lonesome valley is your own life?

[@flautalee3090]

I think “lonesome valley” is a reference to Psalm 23. That in the end we travel that road by ourselves, alone.

[@MrScotty1322]

I'm sorry, but does anybody know the title of the second song?

[@corneliadenninger5395]

Lonesome Valley!

[@alexandraasbury9974]

Are the two girls, who start singing at about 1:50, June's daughters? What a talented family!!!

[@peejwpg]

on the left looks a bit like Anita maybe

[@rcperry2000]

Anita's daughter Lorrie on the left, June's daughter Rosie on the right

[@helengwin]

can anybody tell me who are the kids in this song is please

[@impassable]

Helen just got hotter and hotter as she aged

[@Toilbaby]

Where was Roseanne Cash?

[@thomasostman8589]

Roseanne cash is no carter.shes from johnnys first marriage.

[@flautalee3090]

Respectfully, Roseanne Cash’s maiden name was Cash. She has every right to call herself Roseanne Cash as her stage name. But she is not descended from one of the Carter daughters. Perhaps RC was doing a performance elsewhere or the producers of the show wanted to highlight only the “Carter” 3rd generation. Both June and Johnny referred to the 6 daughters they had as “their” daughters. 1 son, John Carter Cash. He would have been about 10 then. He could’ve been there but wasn’t.
