Ed Curtis I was 13 and my family was moving to Hawaii from Kansas. We made a stoop in California to spend some time with family there. I met a 16 year old John Fountain who was actually my mother's cousin. I had just discovered so-called "Black music" in "white Bread", "Hutchinson, Kansas. I had discovered "Little" Richard" on the juke box in my grandfather's bar and The Penguins. I had seen Elvis through all of his performances of 1956 I liked him because he was different. John Fountain could not believe I had never heard J.R. and he played me "I Walk The Line", "Cry, Cry, Cry" and "Get Rhythm". I have been a fan ever since. I really liked "Get Rhythm" because at 13 I could already do the deep baritone with J.R. on the line, "I said you're a mighty little boy to be "a-workin' that way." I only saw him once, in the Fall of 1967 and what a show. I have the video of "HURT" and watch it 3-4 times every year. R.I.P. J.R. , Your fans will always remember...........................
For years I did not like this man as I found his music a fatal bore. then 1 day I herd him singing old ruggered cross I couldn't believe what I was hearing it just turn my heart around today I look up to this great man even though he passed his spirit STILL LIVES IN MY HEART today.
Did you know, that Johnny Cash was Full Blood Apache? Yes. He was. But the Apache were very misunderstood. Just as King David of the Bible Danced before the Lord, and Sang. So did the Apache. But because their language wasn't understood, they were scorned and killed. Did you know that Geronimo as he was finally giving in to the Soldiers, said, as they hit him to Silence him, "Don't these Soldiers Know that there is Only One God" in his own language. Johnny Cash was Apache, and God ran in his veins.
A man not afraid to publicly display his weaknesses and also his love for his Savior.. How many ppl use their fame to bring glory to God and Jesus?? Not many... Bless the Man in Black
"His greatness wasn't really because he was a great singer or a great songwriter. He was great at those things but that's not why we love him. We love him because he was a great man".
This is what you can call country music sounds like not the garbage thay call country today. Thanks for us all fan of country music legends of country music. I enjoy all legends talking about the legend johnny cash.nice to see little Richard and kriss kristofferson. Thanks CZcams for letting his fans see this march 18 2021.stay healthy everyone from covit19 get the needle that you can watch the legends of country music stay healthy. A1
There's a tonne of good country/folk/bluegrass being played right now you just won't hear it on mainstream radio. These kids are getting back to the roots and it's great to hear.
Omgosh I'm crying at the end of this story that song "HURT" really touched me... I love it.. This man in black knew life and pain, this man in black named Johnny Cash... The pain he lived clung on to him just like a cloak, heavy with grief, just as the drugs he met down that road, thank God for June when he walked the line and ring of fire.. His soul does tell when you look in his eyes of those lonley roads winding forever and wondering when...then he met June their eyes do tell, so in love they stayed forever joined. June went parting ways to heaven, until I see you again my Johnny, my love, my best friend, my soul... Until we meet again my heart beat, my soul. Until we meet again my forever forever forever my June
And we don't have to follow the Ten Commandments when we find our true love!! We just ignore the young wife and four children and do not go home for months and monts while they struggle because we found our true love in a famous singer who knows the ropes of being an entertainer!! Wow, I am so informed now. Thank you.
Still miss him and am sitting here in tears after watching this...especially that Hurt video, it still hits me like a rock. There will never be another like him. Glad that my one and only live concert I was ever able to attend was one of yours, JR Cash. Rip Johnny and June
Jonny is with June in Heaven that I am sure of. He joined her not long after her death both now are side by side in Heaven singing songs to entertain God and his Angels. Rest in Heaven both of you.
He wrote hundreds of passionate love letters to his first wife and said sacred vows to her in a church. I guess The Ten Commandments are taken down for a reason. They mean nothing.
@@larrybaker9924 Hello Larry, I didn't hear back from you why you think Johnny Cash is not in heaven. So I'll tell you why Johnny is definitely in heaven. I would guess that you think he's not there because when he was younger, he was wild and a sinner. If that's the case, no one would be in heaven because we are all sinners. That's why the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us, to pay the price for our sins. We are saved by our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and not by works. Works and being a good person will not save us. Johnny Cash truly accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I know for sure I will see Johnny in heaven.
My mom took me to see him when I was in the 2nd grade, he was my first true love. Still listening to him and still love him, can't wait to see and hear him in heaven.
I grew up in Hendersonville, Tn home of the man in black. I am just proud of my first job working at Spur gas station, when I got to pump gas, clean windows and check the oil etc. for Johnny Cash. He was always so humble. He was friendly and kind to me and never acted like a big star. He was always driving the "One Piece at a Time" car that is in the museum now. And, I ran into him a few times at the movie theatre. I only saw him perform live once at the fairgrounds. But, I can tell you for sure he was much more charismatic in person. He almost always wore a black shirt or jacket. But, might have jeans on. I did see him with a light blue shirt and jacket a couple of times during the winter. My best friend's sister was friends with his daughter Rosy Nix and would spend the night at his house and tell me about all the trains and water allegedly flowing down a rock wall. That is all I know. I wish I had known him better.
johney was the american dream , and the nightmare. .........but he was honest ....always honest even with his demons. .........his 40 days in the desert came and went.....and came again, then it left. honesty can not take too many lies. johney transcends any kind of style music music. cash is the american dream....in every song. you can not lie to truth. he believed in possibilities.......and thank GOD for it.
I agree. JC does not just easily fit into any one music genre. He created his own genre, a genre of complete brilliance and originality, to which only JC could ever, or will ever, belong. Love you so much June & Johnny!
Great documentary. When I listen to him sing, I hear the the rawness of his soul coming through. A humble and troubled man, but one who was the man in black. God Rest His Soul.
Rest in peace Johnny Cash till we meet in heaven hearing you sing your songs once again. You were the outlaw of your music to all of us God bless you and your wife , June .
I was at Johhny Cash's performance in Auckland, New Zealand in 1970 and Baby John was only a few months old. Amazing man Johnny is. Loved the concert as well. Statler Brothers were there with him.
I grew up with Country and Rock & Roll, Cash and Orbison were campions of music. Cash only had to walk on stage or in a room and he owned it. Orbison could write songs that were super hits but no one could sing them because they didn't have the range of Orbison, he didn't think he could sing but he was forced to start and showcase his songs. I met John once in the airport in Nashville BNA. I always got in early to get a good seat before they were assigned ahead. John walked in and saw this quite guy sitting by himself at the gate and he came over and said, "Hello I'm ... and I said, "Johnny Cash". He just smiled and said that's funny it's my name too. I must have turned 20 shades of RED, trying to explain he was my favorite singer. Ever! He was as humble as if he was just regular people which I guess he was.
You're right about Roy. He took me under his wing as a performer and he ( the early 80's) was still in denial about his incredible voice. He'd shake his head and say "I know I'm no singer"- right after moving everyone in a little club in Murfreesboro Tn to tears. He helped the singer songwriters at MTSU, after finally giving up on Vanderbilt ever starting a music industry degree. He introduced me to every living songwriter and performer who I dreamt of learning from, and I performed with most of them.
I wait humbly with great Faith And reverence to meet all who has gone on before me....glory to GOD my father LOVE ....IS The most fragile there is .... at the very same time .... Love is the most STRONGEST most POWERFUL of anything or anyone any being ....on this PLANET....Or the universe
Yes, we must humbly and patiently wait; it will all be in the Lord's time. We are blessed, especially Loving Jesus with the whole heart and whole soul!
Love was certainly overwhelming for Johnny Cash just ignoring his young scared wife at home with four little girls for months and months while he ran around on her, did drugs, and allowed himself to fall in love with another woman. OH I FORGOT! God had June for Johnny all along so it was ok to let his wife deal with their children all alone, lonely, and afraid. Johnny and Vivian got married in a church, said sacred vows to each other, and he had written hundreds of passionate love letters to her affirming his life long love to her. But I guess saying vows in a church is wrong... so after you get the woman pregnant 4 times, you can go spend a year with Bob Dylan drugging and forgetting your family a whole year and leaving her for another woman and that union is the blessed one. No wonder people are taking down the Ten Commandments. The great Johnny Cash taught us they do not matter.
I played this video so my late mom & dad could see it. My dad showed me Johnny and my mom showed me Waylon Jennings. I'm 70 now in Canada. My son when he was 20 played I heart myself today. It blow me a way.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel also and followed Johnny from the beginning in the 50's and still to this day and this Documentary was a fitting History of this great American and his music will live on forever.
I got a Johnny Cash cassette when I was about 11 from my parents, God only knows why they thought I'd like it. (It was around 1998). But I did and listened that tape to shreds. By the time Hurt came out I was a teenager and I lost faith in all the music industry and media all-together, seeing that it's all fake. One day my brother told me that Johnny Cash died, and asked if I saw the video for Hurt. I watched it and I just sat there and cried for ten minutes. It was no coincidence that I liked that tape so much all those years ago. The reason everyone loves Johnny is because he was REAL. Something we miss desperately these days.
He was authentic.....he shared his inner spirit also the darker side. That's why people can never resist him. He speaks to that in every one themself. That and the best voise I've ever heard. I heard him first when I was about 6 and I've been a fan since even before I knew the word fan. I just felt that deep voise and spirit ....
John Cash and my Father share the same birthday - February 26th. John was four years older than my Dad. Dad loved Johnny Cash. One of the first songs I remember listening to on my Dad's car radio was Jackson. :) This is excellent documentary. Thank you for sharing.
I worked nightshift as an RN in prison. The day he died, when I got off at 5;30 am, the radio was playing a tribute to him. I drove out inthe Country and kept going3, unable to go home. I cried so hard I had to pull over twice. I'll never forget how3 EVERYTHING was so Acute and life felt different after the awakening I felt. He's still one-of- my favorites. Interestingly this3 video played instrumental Crosby3 Stills and Nash several times during it
I grew up listing to this great man my father was one of give brothers grew up in south Arkansas each one of them had numerous albums plaques and memoribilla of johnny cash throughout his career my dad and all his brothers are gone now but if I want to remember and cherish my father's life along with his brothers jack ray monroe bill anfy dad Richard I listen to this man
Wonderful way to cherish memories of your Dad & uncles! My Dad, who has also passed now, was of the same generation as Johnny, and I love that Dad and Johnny both shared great, off-beat senses of humor. Much love 😻
What a man, it shows just how Jesus Christ can change anyone. If you get a chance listen to him reading the New Testament out of the Bible. Just think of how many people he shared Jesus Christ with. How amazing. God bless all of you.
He was a Man of God. He wasn’t perfect but he always was honest and authentic !!! My favourites are When The Man Comes Around, Ring of Fire, and Jackson.
And here I am, getting emotional. I love Johnny to bits. He was such a free spirit, generous, funny and a big big heart. Thank you for yoir music,John.!!!!
Fantastic documentary 👏👍🏼. Started in Memphis,Where was born ,Still live their today.Johnny Cash is a True Icon,Legend. Life was so Different back then lI sure miss,The Man In Black.If that don't move you,Well, Best not say on here.Whew,That last song, Just Unbelieveable I such a Fantastic Way.May Johnny and June Cash.R.I.P..🎸🎤🎶💥💯
How was life different back then? Johnny Cash got in jail for bringing drugs across the border. He ignored the Ten Commandments and acted as though God blessed his relationship with the man he left his first wife and four baby girls for.. He stayed gone for months leaving the young woman lonely, afraid, and with all the responsibility of taking care of his little girls alone. It is easy to say after you have run around, did alcohol and drugs, ignored your family that you wished you had not done it.
I watched this video all the way through. It was tastefully done. I laughed and I cried 😭. My emotions were up and down. I have always loved ❤ Johnny Cash. I am 83 years old so I was alive during his heyday. I believe he and Elvis Presley were my all time favorite enter- trainers. His life was the most interesting of all the stars in my estimation. I agree that he was one of the last Great 👍 Americans. I cried during the video where he did the song "Hurt" but I understood why he wrote it. I am looking forward to seeing he and June in Heaven. God bless 🙏 all of you, family and friends. I truly love 💘 you all.
I live in New Zealand and when Ronald Reagan was POTUS, our Prime Minister was Rob Muldoon. At the time we were in financial trouble as a country, i went to the toilet at the Airport and someone had written on the board above the urinal : The United States has Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Stevie Wonder,...New Zealand has, Rob Muldoon, NO CASH, NO HOPE and No fkn Wonder!
I firmly believe that there are only two groups of people: those who are Johnny Cash fans and those who have not yet heard one of his songs. At the risk of sounding all Annie Wilkes, I must say that I have been a fan since his very first release, Cry, Cry, Cry, which came out in 1955. While I love his songs, it is not primarily his singing that makes me such a huge fan. I am a fan because of Johnny Cash, the man. He was that rare breed known as a "good man" and that goodness came through even in his wild days when he was popping pills and getting arrested. Every time I watch "Hurt" I cry because it's like I am hearing him saying goodbye all over again. He did not write it, but it's HIS song.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote that through suffering, one can truly come to know the love of Christ. Johnny Cash was one such man whose faith and resilience was real. And through his songs, he left some of his story for us.
I'd like to write something special here, but not sure if I can find the right words, I am 66, I loved all of his music. even not being a big country music fan. I saw the movie about him with , well you know who I am referring to. The man was a legend in his own time, not many other people can make that claim. You inspired my life Johnny Cash, and for that I will be forever grateful!
Every documentary of Johnny cash I cry at the end because he was just a troubled yet soulful, humble human and he’s my favorite and only favorite musician out of everyone. It’s just amazing and sad to hear him and just listen to what he has to say.
"Abe Lincoln with a guitar, ya kno!" Merle Haggard nailed it. Shame they didn't mention how Johnny's brother died when they were both young. He was nearly cut in two in a chainsaw accident. For me that answers alot of the deep melancholy in Johnny.
JOHNNY CASH! MAGNIFICENT MUSICAN. A CHRISTIAN. ATOMIC POWERED. NO MAN LIKE HIM. I WOULD TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE! NO ONE ELSE! A LEGEND. THE REAL DEAL! ONE IN A MILLION! I MISS HIM SO!
Shoot, that aint nothing. I was actually there. Lol. No, not really. I was only a few months old. Too young to go to prison. I didn't live in California anyway.
This is a fantastic documentary of Johnny Cash's life as a great American artist and it was quite special to have his friends and families share their heartfelt thoughts about who he was and what he meant to people around the world .
I was never a real fan of Mr Cash, but he was an entertainer who never tried to be someone he wasn't. For this and his great music, he must be respected!
A Wonderful documentary of one of the greatest in depth and soul we ever had the privledge of being fully entertained by. I'm not quite sure how a young kid growing up in our small beach town had a collection of 45 records of the one and only Johnny Cash I only know I listened to those records over and over again at such a young age in a New York City beach town that was the furthest road possible from this great mans roots. I guess it must have been the good Lord himself that saw to it those records made it to me. RIP♡ Mr. Cash truly you were one of the great ones!
I love Tammy and George ,In my book they were the best , I saw their kind of pain, when my son's wife took his dog the good stuff and left him , he called and ask if he could come home for a few days , he came he cried ,and cried ,he howled at the moon ,he was heartbroken , oh she wanted to come back ,but he was to hurt.
Johnny was something else. They are not one word that you could describe home with. They are 3 generations of my family that all loved his songs. I never had the privilege of meeting him. The way he carried himself is not any different if it was fans or family was the same. The day his wife passed apart of Johnny died with her. They were so special to each other. That no matter what his first wife did it was never going to separate the both of them. The saying their someone out their for everyone. That special one. His life story is amazing. What he came from his brother’s death the marriage. His whole career you could make 10 different peoples whole life and it would not weighed up Johnny’s real life.things that he went through. Would not be the same Johnny cash without going through these things. Some good some bad. It’s one of the regrets I have never being able to see him play live. The music at the time John was at his peak. It’s nothing like the crap we hear today. I know everyone says this. What do you guy’s think. When was your best time the music was the best?. 6Os me. And I was not even born.
There are stars & then there are the Stars that shone so bright, they dwarf the other Stars. Now, there are only a few Stars that shone that bright, The Amazing Johnny Cash was/is one of those few. I was injured at work when a 1100lb safe fell on me, breaking multi ribs, amongst several other severe injuries & of course, landed me stuck at home. While staying at home recuperating, I saw John's new video to the song HURT. If you are well versed in John's personal history, as I was, then you understand my reaction to my first viewing of what I consider the Most Powerful Video ever made 😢 The farther the video progressed, the more emotional I became. By the end, I was a wreck. My two youngest children, aged 7 & 4yrs, came running to my feet shouting "oh Daddy, what's wrong" Of course Daddy couldn't explain to his young'ns why he was crying so hard 😭 This is the effect Johnny Cash had on his fans, especially his Long time fans who knew his history well, like myself, infact, just now watching that video, again I was in tears 😢 Only two other singers have ever stood on J.R Cash's level & they're names are Hank Williams Sr & Elvis Presley. These Great Artist's CAN NEVER BE REPLACED because, apparently, this is how God wants it 🙏
@@aussieoffroader1974 WELL WE ALL WILL SEE EACH AND EVERY ONE WHO HAS WHAT WHEN AND WHERE WE DID ON JUDGE DAY AND HEAR JESUS SAY ; COME IN OR I NEVER KNEW YOU . JESUS SAVE US
I grew up listening to my father play and sing songs by Johnny Cash and man his voice was identical to the man in black. He even looked a bit like him. Those are some of the best memories of my childhood. Those and the times my father and I would go driving in the mountains looking for good fishing or hunting spots and Johnny Cash playing on the old 8 track player in the pickup truck. Rest In Peace to both of them. They will forever be in my heart and my memories.
I remember at the age of 13 watching his show on tv. It was on in the afternoon when I came home from school. First time it was on he sang about the man in black, unforgettable. PS This is a great story, loved it, thank your for this.
Fledgling Musicologist and radio devotee like big band swing Ray Noble and Ray Eberle and the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens Louie Armstrong Lil Hardin. I can appreciate strong bond between Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard mentor teacher and abiding friendship. God bless.
I'm 30 and grew up in Johnny cash and is still one of my favorites in all genres of music

Why everyone likes Johnny Cash.......cause he kept his humble beginnings as a strength not something to be ashamed of. He kept it real.
For years I did not like this man as I found his music a fatal bore. then 1 day I herd him singing old ruggered cross I couldn't believe what I was hearing it just turn my heart around
today I look up to this great man even though he passed his spirit STILL LIVES IN MY HEART today.
except when he was cheating on his first wife with his second.
But, not everyone does like him. Me included.

That scene during "Hurt" where June is sitting behind Johnny like his Guardian Angel is just crushing......and beautiful.

@@neilurquhart8622 maybe it’s because he was a philandering drunk and druggy that abused his wives and children?
Cash can reach and touch your soul
no matter where you are from.
I grew up with Country and Rock & Roll, Cash and Orbison were campions of music. Cash only had to walk on stage or in a room and he owned it. Orbison could write songs that were super hits but no one could sing them because they didn't have the range of Orbison, he didn't think he could sing but he was forced to start and showcase his songs.
I met John once in the airport in Nashville BNA. I always got in early to get a good seat before they were assigned ahead. John walked in and saw this quite guy sitting by himself at the gate and he came over and said, "Hello I'm ... and I said, "Johnny Cash". He just smiled and said that's funny it's my name too. I must have turned 20 shades of RED, trying to explain he was my favorite singer. Ever! He was as humble as if he was just regular people which I guess he was.
Cool story. Cash sure had a great sense of humor!
You're right about Roy. He took me under his wing as a performer and he ( the early 80's) was still in denial about his incredible voice. He'd shake his head and say "I know I'm no singer"- right after moving everyone in a little club in Murfreesboro Tn to tears.
He helped the singer songwriters at MTSU, after finally giving up on Vanderbilt ever starting a music industry degree.
He introduced me to every living songwriter and performer who I dreamt of learning from, and I performed with most of them.
Have been a cash fan all my life got every record he ever made seen him in concert in UK a few times
When I lived in Newcastle
Absolutely Brilliant
I wait humbly with great Faith And reverence to meet all who has gone on before me....glory to GOD my father LOVE ....IS The most fragile there is .... at the very same time .... Love is the most STRONGEST most POWERFUL of anything or anyone any being ....on this PLANET....Or the universe
Yes, we must humbly and patiently wait; it will all be in the Lord's time. We are blessed, especially Loving Jesus with the whole heart and whole soul!
Amen

Love was certainly overwhelming for Johnny Cash just ignoring his young scared wife at home with four little girls for months and months while he ran around on her, did drugs, and allowed himself to fall in love with another woman. OH I FORGOT! God had June for Johnny all along so it was ok to let his wife deal with their children all alone, lonely, and afraid. Johnny and Vivian got married in a church, said sacred vows to each other, and he had written hundreds of passionate love letters to her affirming his life long love to her. But I guess saying vows in a church is wrong... so after you get the woman pregnant 4 times, you can go spend a year with Bob Dylan drugging and forgetting your family a whole year and leaving her for another woman and that union is the blessed one. No wonder people are taking down the Ten Commandments. The great Johnny Cash taught us they do not matter.
I played this video so my late mom & dad could see it. My dad showed me Johnny and my mom showed me Waylon Jennings.
I'm 70 now in Canada. My son when he was 20 played I heart myself today. It blow me a way.
I LOVED how Johnny Cash and Paul McCartney wrote and sang a song Moonlight Over Jamaica. 😊 ❤
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched about Johnny! God rest your soul Johnny, you deserve it 💕
I agree. This documentary is really good.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel also and followed Johnny from the beginning in the 50's and still to this day and this Documentary was a fitting History of this great American and his music will live on forever.
I got a Johnny Cash cassette when I was about 11 from my parents, God only knows why they thought I'd like it. (It was around 1998). But I did and listened that tape to shreds. By the time Hurt came out I was a teenager and I lost faith in all the music industry and media all-together, seeing that it's all fake. One day my brother told me that Johnny Cash died, and asked if I saw the video for Hurt. I watched it and I just sat there and cried for ten minutes. It was no coincidence that I liked that tape so much all those years ago. The reason everyone loves Johnny is because he was REAL. Something we miss desperately these days.
Johnny Cash was as real as his publicist made him to you.
He was authentic.....he shared his inner spirit also the darker side. That's why people can never resist him. He speaks to that in every one themself. That and the best voise I've ever heard. I heard him first when I was about 6 and I've been a fan since even before I knew the word fan. I just felt that deep voise and spirit ....
Hello beautiful lady how are you doing
Yes. His voice was so unique, so very beautiful... Love how clear JC was able to sing his lyrics, too.
I love that song the men in black it had alot of meaning to me because Johnny always tell the truth about life .
John Cash and my Father share the same birthday - February 26th. John was four years older than my Dad. Dad loved Johnny Cash. One of the first songs I remember listening to on my Dad's car radio was Jackson. :) This is excellent documentary. Thank you for sharing.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I was lucky enough to see him in concert when I was 5 or 6. I’ve admired him ever since!
Omg Omg you're so0o lucky 🤘😍
I was cousin on your mother's side
I still miss him 15 years plus after his death... and that cover of Hurt still gets me!
I worked nightshift as an RN in prison. The day he died, when I got off at 5;30 am, the radio was playing a tribute to him. I drove out inthe Country and kept going3, unable to go home. I cried so hard I had to pull over twice. I'll never forget how3 EVERYTHING was so Acute and life felt different after the awakening I felt. He's still one-of- my favorites. Interestingly this3 video played instrumental Crosby3 Stills and Nash several times during it
I grew up listing to this great man my father was one of give brothers grew up in south Arkansas each one of them had numerous albums plaques and memoribilla of johnny cash throughout his career my dad and all his brothers are gone now but if I want to remember and cherish my father's life along with his brothers jack ray monroe bill anfy dad Richard I listen to this man
Wonderful way to cherish memories of your Dad & uncles! My Dad, who has also passed now, was of the same generation as Johnny, and I love that Dad and Johnny both shared great, off-beat senses of humor. Much love 😻
What a man, it shows just how Jesus Christ can change anyone. If you get a chance listen to him reading the New Testament out of the Bible. Just think of how many people he shared Jesus Christ with. How amazing. God bless all of you.
uh the old testament tooooo
He was a Man of God. He wasn’t perfect but he always was honest and authentic !!!
My favourites are When The Man Comes Around, Ring of Fire, and Jackson.
And here I am, getting emotional. I love Johnny to bits. He was such a free spirit, generous, funny and a big big heart. Thank you for yoir music,John.!!!!
He was the best
Fantastic documentary 👏👍🏼. Started in Memphis,Where was born ,Still live their today.Johnny Cash is a True Icon,Legend. Life was so Different back then lI sure miss,The Man In Black.If that don't move you,Well, Best not say on here.Whew,That last song, Just Unbelieveable I such a Fantastic Way.May Johnny and June Cash.R.I.P..🎸🎤🎶💥💯
How was life different back then? Johnny Cash got in jail for bringing drugs across the border. He ignored the Ten Commandments and acted as though God blessed his relationship with the man he left his first wife and four baby girls for.. He stayed gone for months leaving the young woman lonely, afraid, and with all the responsibility of taking care of his little girls alone. It is easy to say after you have run around, did alcohol and drugs, ignored your family that you wished you had not done it.
I watched this video all the way through. It was tastefully done. I laughed and I cried 😭. My emotions were up and down. I have always loved ❤ Johnny Cash. I am 83 years old so I was alive during his heyday. I believe he and Elvis Presley were my all time favorite enter- trainers. His life was the most interesting of all the stars in my estimation. I agree that he was one of the last Great 👍 Americans. I cried during the video where he did the song "Hurt" but I understood why he wrote it. I am looking forward to seeing he and June in Heaven. God bless 🙏 all of you, family and friends. I truly love 💘 you all.
54yo grew up on johnny cash 8 tracks in dads ol 1 ton
Agreed! God bless you 🙏 ❤ I'm happy for you...
He didn’t write Hurt. It actually belongs to a modern group. I think it was by Trent Reznor of nine inch nails. I do love Johnny’s version though.
Most people know Trent Reznor wrote HURT, and did a video. Even he said, He made it his own ." At the end of my life now, I understand Hurt completely
I live in New Zealand and when Ronald Reagan was POTUS, our Prime Minister was Rob Muldoon. At the time we were in financial trouble as a country, i went to the toilet at the Airport and someone had written on the board above the urinal : The United States has Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Stevie Wonder,...New Zealand has, Rob Muldoon, NO CASH, NO HOPE and No fkn Wonder!
Sad but brilliant.
Ooh ! That's a good one!
I firmly believe that there are only two groups of people: those who are Johnny Cash fans and those who have not yet heard one of his songs. At the risk of sounding all Annie Wilkes, I must say that I have been a fan since his very first release, Cry, Cry, Cry, which came out in 1955. While I love his songs, it is not primarily his singing that makes me such a huge fan. I am a fan because of Johnny Cash, the man. He was that rare breed known as a "good man" and that goodness came through even in his wild days when he was popping pills and getting arrested. Every time I watch "Hurt" I cry because it's like I am hearing him saying goodbye all over again. He did not write it, but it's HIS song.
That was totally WONDERFUL.......loved him
Hello Patti, how are you doing?
@@callumnye2562 just fine and you
@@pattivitacco8655 I'm well thanks, where are you from?
A true legend thru ups and downs Johnny Cash was Johnny Cash!
Johnny cash's life will be remembered for everything that it was worth God bless you bye
What a wonderful man. It’s just like all of us we make mistakes as long as we have faith in God will find away.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote that through suffering, one can truly come to know the love of Christ. Johnny Cash was one such man whose faith and resilience was real. And through his songs, he left some of his story for us.
I'd like to write something special here, but not sure if I can find the right words, I am 66, I loved all of his music. even not being a big country music fan. I saw the movie about him with , well you know who I am referring to. The man was a legend in his own time, not many other people can make that claim. You inspired my life Johnny Cash, and for that I will be forever grateful!

There’s a great movie about Johnny Cash, titled Walk the Line. I watched it years ago.
"To your own self be true.." Mr Cash certainly was. The unforgettable Johnny Cash. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks..
Very good! Thanks for the info.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God," Eph 2:8
Every documentary of Johnny cash I cry at the end because he was just a troubled yet soulful, humble human and he’s my favorite and only favorite musician out of everyone. It’s just amazing and sad to hear him and just listen to what he has to say.
LEGENDARYJOHNNY CASH FOREVER IN OUR 💕 HEARTS LOVE JOHNNY CASH WHOA ❤❤❤❤❤❤
A great documentary to a wonderful man, thank you for this beautiful memory
🧨 T
Hi, Johnny cash is an absolute legend,my 12 year old lad adores him.would of loved to have met him❤️❤️❤️
"Abe Lincoln with a guitar, ya kno!"
Merle Haggard nailed it.
Shame they didn't mention how Johnny's brother died when they were both young. He was nearly cut in two in a chainsaw accident. For me that answers alot of the deep melancholy in Johnny.
so incredibly moving; what a man; what a story; what a documentary and what a family and legacy
a true honest genuine hard working man up to the end this man was so strong , and believed in his savior our lord my fave
JOHNNY CASH! MAGNIFICENT MUSICAN. A CHRISTIAN. ATOMIC POWERED. NO MAN LIKE HIM. I WOULD TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE! NO ONE ELSE! A LEGEND. THE REAL DEAL! ONE IN A MILLION! I MISS HIM SO!
Fortunate to come across Folsom Concert on television and his strong bond and friendship with Merle Haggard. God bless.
Shoot, that aint nothing. I was actually there. Lol. No, not really. I was only a few months old. Too young to go to prison. I didn't live in California anyway.

This is a fantastic documentary of Johnny Cash's life as a great American artist and it was quite special to have his friends and families share their heartfelt thoughts about who he was and what he meant to people around the world .
More of Johnny Cash
We will always miss Johnny Cash. I'm a long time fan and there will never be another Johnny Cash.
Johnny is the king
Yes definitely 100 percent all glory to God!! Their isn't a man on earth that could deliver a man like me! Amend! Thank u Jesus!!
I was never a real fan of Mr Cash, but he was an entertainer who never tried to be someone he wasn't. For this and his great music, he must be respected!
He is..(& Nobody cares wot u day's!)
A Wonderful documentary of one of the greatest in depth and soul we ever had the privledge of being fully entertained by.
I'm not quite sure how a young kid growing up in our small beach town had a collection of 45 records of the one and only Johnny Cash I only know I listened to those records over and over again at such a young age in a New York City beach town that was the furthest road possible from this great mans roots.
I guess it must have been the good Lord himself that saw to it those records made it to me.
RIP♡ Mr. Cash truly you were one of the great ones!
Hello dear,how are you doing?
He was a good singer Johnny Cash was the man in black I'm a fan and so was my mother vickie bell napa ca
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I love Tammy and George ,In my book they were the best , I saw their kind of pain, when my son's wife took his dog the good stuff and left him , he called and ask if he could come home for a few days , he came he cried ,and cried ,he howled at the moon ,he was heartbroken , oh she wanted to come back ,but he was to hurt.
I hope she at least gave him his dog back. Hope he is doing well now.
My friend would always say a woman can make you or break you.
What a life lived. What a legend. Amazing documentary you've put together. Rip Johnny, you are loved and missed.

I am 70, my beloved is 71, Hurt is my end. Johnny Cash is my hero. Miss You!
Johnny Cash has saved a sizable portion of the spirit of American culture.
Johnny sucked

This reportage is realy good and most of all underated...thank you for producing this video 👍
He was the best ever, hero!
Hello beautiful how are you doing
Johnny was something else. They are not one word that you could describe home with. They are 3 generations of my family that all loved his songs. I never had the privilege of meeting him. The way he carried himself is not any different if it was fans or family was the same. The day his wife passed apart of Johnny died with her. They were so special to each other. That no matter what his first wife did it was never going to separate the both of them. The saying their someone out their for everyone. That special one. His life story is amazing. What he came from his brother’s death the marriage. His whole career you could make 10 different peoples whole life and it would not weighed up Johnny’s real life.things that he went through. Would not be the same Johnny cash without going through these things. Some good some bad. It’s one of the regrets I have never being able to see him play live. The music at the time John was at his peak. It’s nothing like the crap we hear today. I know everyone says this. What do you guy’s think. When was your best time the music was the best?. 6Os me. And I was not even born.
There are stars & then there are the Stars that shone so bright, they dwarf the other Stars. Now, there are only a few Stars that shone that bright, The Amazing Johnny Cash was/is one of those few. I was injured at work when a 1100lb safe fell on me, breaking multi ribs, amongst several other severe injuries & of course, landed me stuck at home. While staying at home recuperating, I saw John's new video to the song HURT. If you are well versed in John's personal history, as I was, then you understand my reaction to my first viewing of what I consider the Most Powerful Video ever made 😢 The farther the video progressed, the more emotional I became. By the end, I was a wreck. My two youngest children, aged 7 & 4yrs, came running to my feet shouting "oh Daddy, what's wrong"
Of course Daddy couldn't explain to his young'ns why he was crying so hard 😭
This is the effect Johnny Cash had on his fans, especially his Long time fans who knew his history well, like myself, infact, just now watching that video, again I was in tears 😢 Only two other singers have ever stood on J.R Cash's level & they're names are Hank Williams Sr & Elvis Presley. These Great Artist's CAN NEVER BE REPLACED because, apparently, this is how God wants it 🙏
Good to see he found Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour ....
He always had faith.
@@aussieoffroader1974 only God knows our heart.
@@aussieoffroader1974 WELL WE ALL WILL SEE EACH AND EVERY ONE WHO HAS WHAT WHEN AND WHERE WE DID ON JUDGE DAY AND HEAR JESUS SAY ; COME IN OR I NEVER KNEW YOU . JESUS SAVE US
He was brought up to love Jesus. Once saved always saved.
Johnny Cash was great puts me mine me i have had many demons most them long gone . I give to people just like John did it makes me feel good.
legend johnny cash he was the one and only whish i had the opportunity to meet him :(
I grew up listening to my father play and sing songs by Johnny Cash and man his voice was identical to the man in black. He even looked a bit like him. Those are some of the best memories of my childhood. Those and the times my father and I would go driving in the mountains looking for good fishing or hunting spots and Johnny Cash playing on the old 8 track player in the pickup truck. Rest In Peace to both of them. They will forever be in my heart and my memories.
A great talent! No one like him
I remember at the age of 13 watching his show on tv.
It was on in the afternoon when I came home from school.
First time it was on he sang about the man in black, unforgettable.
PS
This is a great story, loved it, thank your for this.
Wow ty for this it really made my night! RIP MAN IN BLACK!
Thank you Johnny Cash love you ❤
Fledgling Musicologist and radio devotee like big band swing Ray Noble and Ray Eberle and the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens Louie Armstrong Lil Hardin. I can appreciate strong bond between Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard mentor teacher and abiding friendship. God bless.
