Stars of the Grand Ole Opry were invited to appear on the Kate Smith Evening Hour on NBC 3 times 3 months in a row in 1952 March 26th, April 23rd and May 21st. The only act to perform on all 3 shows was the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle also known as the Carter Family. Hank Williams appeared on the March 26 and April 23rd shows. On the March 26th show he performed "Hey Good Lookin'" and on the April 23rd show he performed "Cold Cold Heart" and the duet with beautiful Anita Carter with the amazing voice!! "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You"
Nine minutes and fourty six seconds of surpassingly brilliant entertainment by consummate artists . And what about the fabulous versatility of June Carter ? And Hank and his band are faultlessly superb ! The best live performance footage of artistry I've ever seen . Thanks so much for uploading .
Stunning and thank God we have them for our enjoyment. Hiriiam certainly was the King of everything he wrote and sang. My all time favourite singer and songwriter.
Hank had a Leash on the Guitar Solos he purposely made Them under play ‼️He did want them to distract from the poetry of his Lyrics ‼️And he was 100%DEAD ON ‼️‼️✌️💗
Love that duet with 19 year old Anita Carter. Hank tried hard to get into her pants, but Mother Maybelle ran him off. A few years later there was this other guy after her, even proposed marriage, twice. his name was Elvis something or other.
The time he did cold cold heart and I can’t help it with Anita Carter was in April of 1952 but hey good lookin and the square dancing was from March of 1952
Hello, you wouldn't happen to have the original files individually, would you? The excerpt of "Cold Cold Heart and I Can't Help It" is the cleanest version I've seen. I'd love to have a clean copy of it if you could supply me with one, thanks!
I always wondered....at 9:06 Hank sings "for straight is the gate and narrow's the way" Did he mix the lyrics up? seems to make more sense "Narrow's the gate and straight is the way"
God was able to bless the America that was. I am so grateful I grew up during these innocent times.
There will never be another Hank, he poured his heart and soul into his music.
People with real talent no big stage show just pure Country talent Johnny From Alabama
He was one of a kind. Period.
Where is the time machine so I can go back to these days and times and stay there wooooooo ❤❤❤wooooooo Johnny From Alabama

At age 85 I remember Kate Smith very well, why wasn't she in evidence here? Appreciate this recording very much. Thankee to the uploader.
He sure looks older than 28 or 29 in this clip. Life was already catching up with him.
A true pioneer in music.
Yup, thank you. Yep, thank you.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you jmikeperkins!

Hank tried getting at Anita?
@@revren9283 Yep! He even would show up unannonced at the house. Maybelle ran him off, she didn't like drunks.
@@rph111745 that’s very interesting, I haven’t heard of this before
Hanky panky😂
@@revren9283 I believe all those guys after her made her life hell. Girls were considered fair game back then.
This was Hank’s first appearance on Kate Smith, which was is March, not April, 1952.
I was three and a half years old, and I remember the moment perfectly.

6:46 about this portion I didn’t see hank but I did see the drifting cowboys
2-4-24, 😊music I can understand. But now why do so many singers have to sing with the microphone in their mouth? Hard to understand.
You don't suppose he was the inspiration for Woody of Toy Story fame do you? Woody does bare a striking resemblence.
It's certainly possible! They do look a lot alike.
Is that a young Anita Carter between 8:30 and 8:45?
YES I CAN SAY I NEV ER DO
Man doesn't Anita sound so sweet.
I always wondered....at 9:06 Hank sings "for straight is the gate and narrow's the way" Did he mix the lyrics up? seems to make more sense "Narrow's the gate and straight is the way"
Hank was Alfalfa growed up and on steroids....
