The greatest love story of the 20 century.
A Story of June Carter/Cash & Johnny Cash
Told by Sarah Vowell.
Ps "Sarah I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden to bear."
Love your voice and your opinion.
The Ring of Fire" is a country music song popularized by Johnny Cash and co-written by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore.
The song was originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter
When the song failed to become a major hit for Anita, Cash recorded it his own way, adding the mariachi-style horns. This sound was later used in the song "It Ain't Me Babe", which was recorded around the same time. Mother Maybelle and the Carter sisters are prominently featured in the Cash recording singing harmony.
Four years after the song was released, Carter and Cash were married, which Cash states helped to stop his alcohol and drug addictions. Cash's daughter Rosanne has stated, "The song is about the transformative power of love and that's what it has always meant to me and that's what it will always mean to the Cash children."
