  • Original Tape credits go to Ronnie Williams, who passed the tape to Freeman Kitchens, who passed it along to Anthony Lupo. Lupo passed the tape along to me and I am glad to present it to you now. Passed along just like a Carter Family song! Enjoy!

    This feels like a casual family gathering where everyone pulls out an instrument and has a go, only the family just so happens to be country music legends.
    What a treasure! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for sharing this captured legendary moment. This old film makes me realize just how important each person is during their life. The video recorder captured three musicians who captured the beauty of life even though they experienced deaths and health injuries, they lived, shared their lives with others, and are still teaching others (us, the viewers and listeners) how to play music and set our eyes on the Lord God Almighty as our lives fade as theirs have faded away from this temporary realm.❤

And it's great to see that the rest of the family are so talented . Thanks so much for posting this. Best concert I've been to for ages. Cheers.!

    As a Roman Catholic who loves Gregorian chant, I have to say that Southern country Gospel music like this is so beautiful! It has every bit as much transcendence as anything composed on the 14th century. Too bad A.P. had already passed when this was filmed. I love the Carter Family, especially the oldest recordings from 1927. God bless them all!

    Compare this beautiful rendition of "Gathering Shells by the Sea Shore" with the 1939 recording titled "Happiest Days of All" on the Carter Family border radio collection, which features AP singing harmony as well. Sarah was 76-77 years old and Maybelle was around 65-66 years old at the time of this recording. Thanks so much to Ronnie Williams, Freeman Kitchens, Anthony Lupo, and Colin Haines for preserving this moment in time.

    Almost seems like Helen is trying not to outshine them. Joe and Jeannette couldn't really sing and Maybelle and Sara weren't doing well by then either.

    • @jackcasey7037
      @jackcasey7037 Před rokem +4

      I noticed that too. Of course this was 1975, Sara was 77 and Maybelle was 66. I think it’s incredible that they were still willing to do this so late in their life. Remember that Maybelle died only three years later and Sara just a few months after that.

    • @will2472
      @will2472 Před rokem +3

      Maybelle performed until early 1976. She only did a song and sang behind the curtains a lot of the time. She was a pioneer, an innovator and a damn good musician! 😊

      Sorry to disagree. Technically, maybe, Helen was in her musical prime and the other ladies a bit past their prime. But legends like Maybelle and Sara Carter don’t need to prove anything to anybody, and they sure don’t need to compete with or be compared to anybody!
