June Carter | Full Appearance | Feb 26, 1959

Описание: June Carter sings, duets with Ernie, brings Ernie gifts, and makes us laugh. Here's a compilation of all of her performances from The Ford Show, February 26, 1959.

June Carter Cash started her performing career as a child alongside her relatives in the legendary first-generation Carter Family group. After that iconic lineup dissolved, she continued performing extensively through the 1940s and 50s with her mother and sisters as "Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters," becoming a popular fixture on radio and the Grand Ole Opry circuit. During this time, she developed her distinct style, blending singing and autoharp playing with notable comedic talent, well before she met Johnny Cash in the mid-1950s. Eventually, her path led to her famous marriage and professional partnership with Cash, co-writing hits like "Ring of Fire" and earning multiple Grammy Awards for her enduring work as a versatile entertainer.

About Tennessee Ernie Ford

Born Ernest Jennings Ford on February 13th, 1919 in Bristol, Tennessee, Tennessee Ernie Ford has made an indelible impact on America and the world through his unparalleled accomplishments in radio, records and television.

Throughout his legendary career spanning over 50 years, Ernie Ford's early successes as a radio personality led to his signing with Capitol Records in 1949. Through 1976, he released a total of eighty-three albums on the label--and literally scores of single records, including his classic version of Merle Travis' timeless anthem to the working man, "Sixteen Tons"...at the time of its release, the fastest selling single in Capitol's history.

About The Ford Show

On Thursday night, October 4th, 1956, NBC premiered The Ford Show Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford.

As prime-time's # 1 half-hour variety show for five years, The Ford Show featured all the ingredients of the top variety shows of the day; Hollywood's greatest guest stars, top-of-the-line production, and terrific music. But one simple element separated it from all others...Ernie closed virtually every show with a hymn, a spiritual or a song of faith. For the time, it was a bold and powerful statement for a popular entertainer of Ford's stature to be making on live television, especially in the face of the initial objections from Madison Avenue and the network. But it was a statement that would become the trademark of his career, and in many ways, the mark of his life. It would earn him the distinction of almost single-handedly bringing inspirational music into the mainstream of American entertainment...an enduring legacy of the lasting impact that one man's expression of faith can have on millions of people.
