@tonylupo1764 7 ай бұрын

@@cathycarlson12 Were you there? Did you know in 1956 while Johnny was married to Vivian, Johnny came back-stage at the Opry and told June that he was going to marry her like the first or second time that they met? They ended up getting married in 1968 12 years later and John was the one that chased June. If Junes first husband Carl Smith didn't cheat and abandon their marriage while June was pregnant with Carlene in 1955, June would have still been married to him. June wanted her first marriage to work but Carl Smith was running around on her. You are really one of the most ignorant people that has ever made a comment. June never chased John , it didn't happen that way. Read Marshall Grants (Johns bass player's book) book "I Was There" And Vivians daughters did like June. Johnny Cash ruined his own marriage by doing drugs and chasing other women before June and him got married.
