I was going to type the same thing, here was a man who stood up and never denied his mistakes, who kept moving ahead and influenced many and was a blessing to those around him. He also wasn't afraid to show his humanity not just in music but even with these people, you can see how moved he was. The Man in Black put the T in tough. I hope to meet you in heaven one day, Mr. Cash.

@@Strive1324L I would have been soo honored to have had his friendship.

Same here.

I've always been a fan, but now that I'm grown and older I can truly appreciate the man in black.

There will never be anybody to equal Johnny Cash RIP. Hope you are enjoying life with June RIP in your heavenly home !! !

That was the best part of this video!

Glen Sherley was released a few months after this. He was picked up at the gates by Johnny Cash. A few years later, Sherley and his wife divorced, then he wound up working on a cattle ranch. In 1978, Glen Sherley shot and killed a man. Rather than going back to prison, he chose to shoot himself at his brother's house in Gonzales, CA. Real life, man. Happy endings are really rare.

WoW!!! What a testimony!!! A real genuine authentic life and man!!!

CLASSIC!!! Rare footage!!! Very powerful!!!

Damn that musta broke John's heart hearing about that. Hope they at least tried to give him a boost in his songwriting. When you write it comes easy (i do) but the motivation to get out there sometimes isnt in you.

He is sincere and humble

Amen

Perfectly put! Been a fan since 03. Glad to see he's still making fans. Lots more to come. You seem as humble as him, brother.

Through making Jesus his Lord and Savior he accepted forgiveness by the One who has the right to forgive every man, woman and child. He has eternal life in Heaven with God. Right now Johnny is in Heaven with June, his parents and many others. I can't say exactly what's going on up there but I bet he's still singing and writing everyday. John knew Jesus.

@@TheMidnightModder even the bible itself says you are dead and then risen again in the second coming not that you go to heaven after death.

@@sumtingwong8768 It depends on how you interpret it. Theologians disagree on it so I take Jesus's words "Today you will be with me in Paradise." to finish it off. I think you're misinterpreting, ignoring literary style and ignoring context if you legitimately think we remain dead until the second coming.

Agreed.

alwayssme - yeah, he abandoned his four daughters for that trollup,hillbilly June Carter - I used to respect & liked Johnny, but not anymore

@@jolenaagapisou3803 plenty of marriages don't work out . And if the mother of his four daughters did not want to co-parent it sounded more as if she was bitter that he found true love with the famously well known talented June Carter.

Jolena Agapisou Johnny never abandoned his daughters . They were always a part of his life . They were welcomed in his home no matter where he lived .

I agree and you can tell by the way his son talks about him now

Could care less abou this own daighters!

Exactly, well said.

And he still had over 30 years to live.

yeah, and the high, it´s not bad is his decission

This was a wonderful show. I learned things I didn't know. Did not know he was from such a large family. I love him and June together

Hello I'm from Lafayette to.lok

"ruthless" is a poor way to describe it I think...however, you are spot on. The Interviewer was right to the point. And yes, he "holds on tight"...this is the dependence you have in a serious 'LTR', your partner is your support, and what you 'need' to make it through. "co-dependence"

If you notice he whispered something in her ear. Probably something like, "This guy is an asshole."

It melts my heart, his reaction when she came out. Even more so when his little boy comes out.

Marty rob I a Johnny cash

Chris McNee - what’s so magical? The hillbilly was a home wrecker, she told Vivian she’s gonna take her man, Johnny & June both cheated on their spouses, Vivian left with 4 children, I think it’s terrible what he did to her all because of this untalented mongrel who couldn’t even hold a tune & often times forgot the lyrics!! It’s obvious you don’t know much about them

Not really. Nothing ever REALLY changes 🤷‍♀️

John Carter Cash and Carlene are still alive❤and Johnny Cash’s sister

My home town also I remember when Ralph Jones put Johnny Cash in jail and then gave him pills back.

I felt it was a shitty thing to do on national television. Shit. Poor Johnny.

Private as he was I can't imagine why they did this to him or thought he'd enjoy having his most personal details - a letter he wrote read on tv?! - shared without his planning. He clearly isn't one to yell surprise at in front of all the world. What a mistake

I Walk the Line was written for Johnny's first wife, Vivian, not for June.

CammieInOz - that’s right!! The hillbilly June was a home wrecker & used drugs herself, she ain’t no saint!!!

Jolena Agapisou do your research and tell the correct story. June did not join the Johnny Cash show as a full time member until 1962 (she was part time with them from 1960). Johnny Cash became addicted to drugs starting in 1956. It is a known and well documented fact (by those who were actually there with Johnny on tour, like Marshall Grant and Johnny Western) that June fought like crazy to keep Johnny off drugs, frequently finding and flushing them down the toilet. Even his daughter Rosanne stated that Johnny probably would not have survived if June had not been there - Johnny saved himself in the end but June and God were his inspiration and his support. Also, Johnny’s marriage was in trouble before June came along, and it is well documented that no one could “make” Johnny do anything he did not want to do, Johnny and June fell in love when it was inappropriate to do so but these things do happen because we are human. The divorce was understandably very painful for Vivian (and Vivian was very angry with June, which is also understandable) but Johnny and Vivian were not the first couple to grow apart and divorce. Johnny and June loved each other dearly and dealt with many ups and downs during their 35 year marriage but their love survived and grew, and Johnny’s daughters grew to appreciate and like June (check out the beautiful eulogy Rosanne wrote for June and spoke at June’s funeral - it is in the book Rosanne wrote entitled “Composed”).

Sorry Ronnie Bishop, I meant my reply for Jolena Agapisou

M Suddie Why don’t you read my post again??????? You know RESEARCH!!!!!

He is a good man, said June.

That was my grandfather. He actually did talk to Elvis. But he just didn't want to hear it. Johnny was different.

He died before this

@@MrFloppy131 sam phillips was still alive when this was aired joey. He died in 2003 this was 1971.

@@MrFloppy131 Sam Philipps died the same year as John R CASH died. So I don't unterstand either why he didn't show up here./CD

@@corneliadenninger5395 The record company dropped cash .Maybe that is why
