Sara has the perfect voice for this wonderful, authentic music.
Pure country harmonies from two sorely missed pioneers of Country Music, sisters Sara and Maybelle Carter. Kudos!
They were cousins, and became sisters in law
That is the most authentic country music you will ever hear , Shame there isn’t more of this
...'the most authentic country music you will ever hear'... is it? God has spoken!
The people who have commented ugly things about these two ladies couldn't even compare to the dirt under their feet.
These two ladies were the definition of class and talent. Very unlike some of the fools who felt they needed to say something disrespectful.
I have to laugh at people who try to criticize these ladies and act like they know so much. There's a huge difference between being known all over the world and some nobody commenting on a video acting like they know so much when in fact, they know absolutely nothing.
Not to mention the gap in the ratio of people who say something nice and complimentary, honoring this wonderul family and the naysayers. I need say no more.
YOU SAID IT BROTHER!!!!👍
Absolutely correctr
Hawkins why would anyone say bad things about them? They were very talented!

There are ignorant people in this world
How much better can it get than this? This ladies and gentlemen is pure unadulterated country music.
These women were legends that raised legends of blue grass....a daughter June Carter was swooned and married by "the Man in Black"...otherwise known as Johnny Cash...A legend in his own right.....show some respect to them...they damn well earned it.
Maybelle Carter, guitar legend. So glad the Country Music Ken Burns documentary reminded so many people of who came first.
Thanks to the carter family we've preserved a part of American music and history!
the purest form of country music...that Sarah could sing...
The strength of Sara's voice paradoxically helps Maybelle not to force her voice. A great recording.
How is that a paradox?
Maybe they both had honorary PhDs.
SARAH truly is The Mother of Country Music what a voice the purest THE BEST
Every second is gold.
So true
Now this is real country music , not like the pop bullshit they call country today.
Old Fart Daniël O donnel
Country like this was golden and always will be
This is REAL America..from Australia
My own Daddy learned his pluck-strumming from Maybelle - listening to their huge radio they had back then. It was AP who had the obsession and drive. He had the vision. He was always a bit of an outcast, a loner, a bit odd. He had that tremor or palsy. He had a Negro friend. Esley Riddle. Esley had only one leg, but he had an incredible memory for tunes and lyrics. He could hear a song one time and remember it exactly. They went all over those mountains, the hills and hollers of NC and VA, Tenn, and Ky, collecting songs and ballads. Sadly, AP's home life suffered. He seems not to have ben a very good husband or provider -- then that hit stardom and affluence. But AP's personality was still eccentric. His head was in the clouds, so to speak. Sara needed a husband, just an ordinary husband. They both tried, but finally gave up.
They look so sad... It breaks my heart knowing how unknown these beautiful voices are; and the Original Carter family in general.
This is American History.
My grandmother was related to the Carters. I love them, my grandmother used to sing their songs when I was a little girl.
I'm also related to them too
I'm related to Sara Carter through her father William Sevier Dougherty. The Sevier's were descendants of politician and frontier statesman John Sevier, after whom Sevierville is named. He was a founding father of the great State of Tennessee.
How awesome to have 2 of three Carter Family members in living color yet to boot. Thanks for this video!
This is amazing. Sarah is really something
I'm so tired of people saying they look like men.... they were 60 years old and didn't believe in makeup.... let's see what you look like at 60 with no makeup
xXGentpaXx thats just mean, people are such asses old school Virginian women. Though as nails.
Wow people really said that? There's a reason not to visit the comments. They look like lovely ladies to me who were incredibly talented.. People are so disappointng sometimes.
@@joijaxx - Amen. I usually regret looking at the comments - people are so hateful and uncivil sometimes and can't even discuss a song or a movie without being ugly.
They came from hard-working mountain stock and knew the meaning of the word endurance. Their people had settled this country to help it to become the greatest free nation on earth.
I maybe shouldn't be saying this here and don't wish to sound threatening but to pit it quite bluntly-ypu people who are snarking these ladies-if you had dared to do such a thing openly in the time period and place which these ladies came from in Appalachia, you wouldn't just be making fun of them, you'd be making fun of all of their blood kin as well and the next that anyone would hear of you would be when your rotten carcass was hanging by it's neck from an elm tree down in the holler someplace, with the crows pecking away at it. And nobody would "know anything about it," Mum would be the word and it would just be another unsolved lynching to come occur back there in those hills. These people were raised in a world where respect for ladies and for one's elders was tantamount and you didn't act with disrespect, not if you knew what was good for you.
Everything about this is brilliant. It's that simple. Brilliant.
Beautiful!!! God Bless & Keep Mother Maybelle, Sara, and all the wonderful Carter family! jerry in TX :)
Bubba Fmrusmcr aren't they just great.
God bless these musical geniuses - their music makes me feel ever so close to the Lord
I hope these two ladies are happy in heaven
Zum Glück gibt es CZcams so kann man diese herrlichen schönen Songs immer hören.Danke
+josef furrer Ganz richtig, josef. Was schade ist : ich "habe" youtube nur zeit 2012...Grüsse aus Elsass/Frankreich
Das ist schade ,die Zeit geht viel zu schnll vorbei.
Carter family were the rock stars for that era. I love them so much.
My mother never believed in makeup either she.died in her eighties stil looking good. She told my sister and i just put on a little lipstick and pinch our cheeks all we need. She was right. Mothers always knows best
Love them both. My mother loved them and remembered them when they toured.
No matter who looks down on them, they are a class act and truly pure and beautiful singers!!!!
What instrument is Sara playing is it an autoharp?
@@Nolic_Galaxy it's a guitaro
I am in tears every time I watch this. These grande dames are a massive part of the foundation of most of everything we listened to in the last 100 years. Before Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family there was nothing.
Same here. This makes me teary every time.
two legends - so missed
Two superstars
What a treasure! That is what the Carter Family was and is an always will be! They were ahead of their time and were trailblazers, revealing what what was in the mountains for generations of all those places in Virginia, Tennessee and other Appalachian mountains! A.P. was probably dead by the time this was recorded but i am sure he was smiling from above. You cannot deny what a gift this group was to country music and to American music in general. Mother Maybelle's "Carter Scratch", i just can't get enough of her self-taught technique, it was so original and so many have and tried to emulate it, even her own daughters, but there's only one Carter who play the "Scratch" and that is Mother Maybelle herself!
Love this. Nothing like the old time tunes.
Two Southern Belles who make us Southerners proud. Wonderful!
its mind blowing - thank you for sharing -
Sarah is playing a Guitaro Autoharp .I used to have one of those . I wish I had kept it .... young and foolish
My gosh .. Sarah's voice . It gives me chills . Just beautiful
I Have Loved her voice all my 54 years!
me too my ex wife stole mine.
Sweet, wonderful ladies.
(Especially Maybelle)
You are so right, wonderful ladies
🌷Mother Maybelle is my most favorite but I love all of them.when she played the autoharp&sang-was able to get numerous ones of them-)solo she sang so so sweet&can hear her better singing solo than with Sara for Sara's voice overpowers Maybelle's soft lovely voice for hers is a different tone¬ soft like May's is.Sara has a great voice too.They both are great singers🎶.When Mother M. Sings with her daughters you can barely hear her for the others sing louder&make sure people hear them.They seem to overpower Mother with their younger, high voices&too if others notice it&Maybelle is playing&singing with a mixed group it's like they put her somewhat behind them and to the side.I REALLY RESENT THAT!!!😥If it had not been for Mother Maybelle Carter teaching her girls to play he autoharp&guitar there may not have been that GREAT CARTER FAMILY singing together as they do.🎸🎶🎼.She was the Head of all of it¬ getting the credit for it.All have great singing voices.Got it from their Mom.Anyone who hasn't listened to Maybelle solo ought to go to Pandora&make a list of "Save" & listen to her singing SOLO.She sings beautifully&I just fell head over heels for her&her singing&the polite way she always thanked other people.But I got on U Tube for I can see them live as on TV on it but can't on Pandora but I still go& listen to it and YT too.I hope this gets posted&others who love The Carter Family will check all out.More enrichment and joy in music,esp The Carters.🎶🎶💖🎸🕊😇🌷
These ladies show an awesome natural beauty.😍 Leave them alone.😬
sadly such songs and voices are history and will be no more. only on youtube.
Or in my mother's memory. She just turned 89 in September. Here's to a 90th birthday next year with her memories of the Carters and other country greats of that era!
@Anna Marie Thank you very much-I'll tell her thatcyou said so!
@Anna Marie Thank you and I tell that you said her taste in music is great.
Thank you for posting. Fantastic. American Gold. God Bless.
The orginal Queens of Country Music. I love these ladies! I'm glad to see Sara playing a Guitaro (not an actual Autoharp). Great video, thanks!
History. If only the younger generation knew it.
Millineal here , Carter family is my favorite group, wish more boomers knew it too...
I’m 16 year old boy from the north of England, I’m obsessed with the carter family
@@Riptidedd Same. Boomers are the ones who don't seem to realize there was good music before they were born, and who just want the foist the 60s and 70s on everyone else forever
Sara said in an interview that she hated to sing. Sara also did not like the lime light. She used to ask Maybelle if she was done with this nonsense all ready?
“While the Band is Playing Dixie”
0:03
It was on a day when soldiers wrote lines to those they love
To mothers, wives and sweethearts far away
When a fair-haired boy sat dreaming of a far-off southern town
And a dark-haired maiden waiting day by day
While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"
It takes me back to Georgia though I'm far across the foam
Once again beside the river with my Mary dear I'll roam
While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
They found it in his pocket, a bloodstained little note
A rifle ball had pierced it through and through
It began with "Darling Mary, if I don't come home again
Remember that my last thoughts were of you"
While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"
It takes me back to Georgia though I'm far across the foam
Once again beside the river with my Mary dear I'll roam
While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
👍🏻🎸✌🏻
This is fantastic, I love it!
I love these ladies.
Me too
Breath-taking.
One of their greatest recordings! Thank you for posting!!
Gets me this every time…an Irishman in UK… relate so much to this!
You can tell they're really happy
I FUCKING LOVE THIS. THANK YOU. I'M THAT HAPPY IT MAKES ME WANT TO SHOUT! THANKS!
Oh my word.i loved them and the future family that carried on the families legacy. This must of been in the grand old oprey.
Beautiful, heartfelt music.
Absolutely wonderful to say the least. Thank you for posting this!!
LOVE, LOVE and LOVE!!!!!
Just so wonderful!
No one gives the Carter family enough credit. No Carter family, no June Carter Cash. If it hadn't been for June, Johnny probably would've never really gotten off the ground. Can anyone really imagine modern country music if there was never a Johnny Cash?
Actually, Johnny had gotten well off the ground before June came into his life.
@@seancoxen3329 The Carter family provided all his influence. He even said while he was in the army teaching himself to play guitar he used the chords that the Carters did.
Sean Coxen Let me amend that statement. Johnny would have probably crashed and burned from drug use.
Love the Carter Family !!!!!
Estoy en Santiago de Chile, muy al sur del continente, pero escuché atentamente a esta dos señoras y aseguro que mientras duró la canción,yo estuve en USA 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bravo !!!
Hard people for hard times. Groundbreaking music.
In a crazy world always good energy.
this what real country is all about
this is what country music is all about
Sara Carter's voice wasn't bad at all I wish she would've gotten more credit for it
Anybody who's in the know will tell you Sara Carter was a magnificent vocalist in the style of the old-time balladeer. What was important was clarity, charisma, and storytelling, as well as being on pitch. She pulled it off perfectly! She was to old-time ballads what Enrico Caruso was to opera. It seems deceptively simple, but, if it were, there'd be a million Sara Carters!
Bellissimo reperto di una stupenda musica.....
This is awesome!I've never seen any of these old videos.
very nice!!!
Two of Virginia's finest.
Real, beautiful and true persons
legends
Those blue eyes!!!
Jean Fish magnificent blue eyes.
ich hör mir die netten Frauen und Omas immer wieder gerne an...toy, toydie gibt's nur einmal,...das gibt's nicht so wieder....ich bin Bj.77
Trop beau... J adore... ❤️❤️
WONDERFUL. LADIES And. SINGERS. / I. LOVE ❤️. DIXIE
I'm not sure if there will be a release of it or not. But, Maybelle and Sara appeared on the Flat and Scruggs "Martha White" program during the same period as their appearance on the Wilburn Brothers show. I remember watching them perform on this show. Maybelle introduced the song and spoke about her cousin Sara. Sara played the Guitaro on the Flat and Scruggs show as well.
I hope someone posts that one day
Nice!
Cuts through me like a knife.
wow!
De los pocos temas de la primera época pickeando Sara el autoharpa
Great!!!!!!!!!
Royalty love them
Epic
Epic!!!
if Sara was around today - she would have been worshipped, not only for the musical abilities, but as a hot mature woman with plenty of character.
IT AINT LING ENOUGH!!!👍👍👍👍
it's a small step from this to rockabilly
❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, Maybelle doesn't look too pleased to playing with Sara. Still a real treasure that this happened.
I don't think Sara and Maybelle held any animosity towards each other - they were cousins as well as former in-laws and kept in pretty good touch until Sara's death in 1979 - one account I read stated that Sara and her 2nd husband Coy Bayes (who was AP's cousin) used to drive from California to Virginia every year to see Maybelle . From all I've heard, Sara was extremely shy and private, and did not care much for performing or being in public.
Maybelle was just stepping back to let Sara have all the limelight. She was so glad to have her back.
❤
Respectful country. Wish AP was with them, they were even better as three in my opinion.
People always think they were the first country music family not entirely true the stonemans were
mellinnials judging music and or movies today have no sense of understanding the era's of history...how sad #TechToyGeneration..
Today's millennial would have gotten HORSEWHIPPED, tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail if they would have displyed this smug know it all-ness in the Appalachia that these ladies came from and that's no lie
Good honest, hard working, no-nonsense type of people with ZERO tolerance for foolishness and idiocricy.
Wow
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING WR9NG WITH THIS....
Johnny Cash's Inlaws😂
Did u live thier life and ways of life the girls was ever pretty for thier time of life try being kind
En Wilwood Flower cantada por Janette Carter o Maybelle Carter.
Parece un calco de voz.
Aunque luego según en que temas si que notas que una voz es más grave y la otra la más aguda.
La tenor de las mujeres probablemente sea Sara Carter es la voz más grave.
Y las más agudas las de Anita o Heather Berry Mabe
what ever happened to AP?
Sara and AP divorced in 1939, and the original Carter Family act disbanded in 1943. Sara retired and AP in later years ran a general store in Maces Spring, VA. AP died in relative obscurity in 1960 at the age of 68. By that time, Maybelle had a successful act with her daughters originally billed as "Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters." In later years, Maybelle and her daughters went by the old name "Carter Family."
ilocano sonhs
what is the other instrument . do people still use it
plc4 Sara is playing an autoharp. It's a traditional folk instrument. I was in the Denver Folk Center just last week and they were still selling them there.
Steve Tamayo thanks steve
The instrument that Sara is playing is called a Guitaro. It was made by Oscar Schmidt and was based on the autoharp. This instrument was introduced in the early 60's. Anita Carter was one of the spokespersons for this instrument. Sara used this instrument on the "Historic Reunion" album with Maybelle.
+plc4 Sara is playing a Guitaro, not quite the same as an autoharp.
At the time of this clip, A.P. may have still been alive. Why was he not on stage with them? (Sounds like Sara was trying to sing his part). He was either ill or he wanted little to do with it anymore. He did not deal well with celebrite when people called him out publicly, is what I've read.
A.P. had died when this was made.
Gentle people, these comments are from what is called a TROLL. So just let him TROLL to his heart's content and fizzle out. The Carters were here before him and their music will be here long after he's gone. Love you, Sara and Maybelle.
