- June Carter was born in the rugged mountains of Maces Springs, Virginia, to Ezra and Maybelle Carter, pioneers of country music. On stage from a very young age, June found her niche in the spotlight with her vivacious personality and down-home sense of humor. Her confidence and spirit were what attracted Johnny Cash to her in the late 1950s. On the road together, they quickly bonded. June was his helpmate and closest companion. They were married for forty years, through addiction and success, tragedy and triumph.
Anchored in Love is an inside look into the life of June Carter Cash, through the eyes of her only child with Johnny Cash-John Carter Cash. With skillful prose, he reveals new information about the legendary woman through his tender memories and heartwarming stories.
Anchored in love was also one of the great gospel songs, done by the original Carter Family.
I met Johnny Cash in 1978. I was a valet at Hugo's restaurant in Cohasset Ma. They were performing at the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset. Mr. Cash, June, and John Carter were staying at a hotel named Kimballs by the Sea Motor Inn. The hotel was about a 1/4 mile from the restaurant. One of the bus boys was commissioned to deliver some take out they had ordered. He asked if I would drive him to the hotel, and that the food was for Johnny Cash. When we got to the door of his Hotel room, i can still see the look of surprise on Mr. Cash's face seeing the two of us there. In the room I could see June, she was reaching for her purse, and John Carter was jumping up and down on the couch. Mr. Cash gave us a $5 each., and I shook his huge hand. I was seventeen at the time. Oh by the way, they had ordered Lobster, and a pitcher of milk. I always remembered thinking, who eat's lobster with milk? In retrospect the milk was probably for John Carter.
Congratulations to a brave and articulate son as well as to his talented and caring parents
I've been enjoying seeing all the interviews and documentaries on Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash and the Carter family, I grew up listening to country music, always enjoyed Johnny Cash music, living in Tennessee and visiting Franklin Kentucky courthouse where they got their license to get married
I love June and Johnny. I've seen my mother dance like June was dancing.
I will be buying this book.. Love johnny & June
It is as simple as that, they found true love with each other. They were meant to be. No matter how it happened...the rest belongs to God and is a loving and forgiving one....
Love them as a couple true love does exist they were an example of better or worse looking for the same they were a blessing to many
They just demonstrate some people get a happily ever after though lots of us do not so hey good for them.
I read your book and enjoyed it. Johnny Cash & June were meant to be together. ❤
THIS WAS SO SWEET. MISS THEM A LOT. SUCH A GRACIOUS COUPLE.
This is a wonderful book. John Carter Cash deserves great credit for his honesty, courage and insight.
I think I’ll check it out!
I love June carter!!! She rocks
Will I listen to more music she is so good
Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed listening to John talk about his parents and his book.
I sure love me some June Carter!!!!!
Such A Great Woman...
June Carter was a talented, funny & beautiful woman.
I think you can call June Carter a lot of things, but not talented. Truth of the matter is, if she was not married to Johnny Cash, no one would know her name.
@@soniacurrie4378 I thought she was very talented I watched her many times TV and CZcams she maybe not the best singer but she could play anything with strings she was very funny she was a very good Entertainer and a pretty lady she connected well with the audience
@@barkrussell4083 I suppose the fact that I wasn't a huge Johnny Cash fan in the 70's made me a little more objectionable towards her. She really was not a huge talent. I was always taken aback by her comedy. It was not timed well. Country music is all about words, the story, the voice, not the instruments you play. In country music, you have to be a really good instrumentalist to make a name outside of the artists circle. And I don't know. Quite frankly, I've gone over that entire family's so call music, and...well... eh. The only person of the clan who had any real talent was Anita. I get the respect, but the truth of the matter is, if JOHNNY CASH did not come along, they would have faded into irrelevance. They were not that good, at least the momma and her four girls, they were not that good. I am sorry. Something never sat right about June Carter Cash. She has always painted as this woman who single handedly saved Johnny Cash, but all I ever saw from her was someone who never sat well with me, a woman whose talent tells me she should be sitting in the audience with the other wives. Additionally, I always turned the channel when she talk. I hated to hear her talk, still do. I never believed the voice we were hearing was her real voice. I never understood what was so great about their marriage that her relationship with Johnny Cash had to be run down our throats. I mean really, were they the only married couple in Country Music who loved each other? And while I have to admit that I was never inclined to look for this until now, I never looked at either her nor Johnny Cash and say to myself, wow, they are really in love. Now I am researching their so called love story. And I gotta tell you, it is pretty shocking.
@@soniacurrie4378 I really don't know anything much about their personal life just watch them on TV and CZcams she definitely not the best singer but I do find her entertaining seem like audience like her pretty good he and her both had a little different sound than most singers that time. Probably not everybody like their music☺
@@soniacurrie4378 I thought that same way most all my 54 years until recently. It seems Cash was a superstar and could have had any woman in the world but I think he was just crazy about her. After seeing "Walk the Line" (which was an awful movie by the way), and doing some other research I have grown to admire June and probably didn't appreciate her enough. I don't think her ride with him was all rosie, with drugs and an affair with Anita, June forgave him for all of that. I have started listening to the Carters, Cash and old country a lot more lately, perhaps being sentimental, but enjoying it very much. I do understand what you were saying about their marriage seemed to be forced on the public a little too much. I think the main reason was Johnny wanted her up there with him, just plain and simple. But the ironic thing was that Johnny Cash didn't need any vocal help, he was dynamic on stage, so maybe sometimes folks thought that June was a distraction. But BTW, there aren't that many successful marriages in music or Hellywood, i.e. Johnny was June's 3rd marriage, she was his 2nd, so it is satisfying to see an example of it working right. But anyway I miss them both. Footnote: the Carter's were a great little group and made great harmony and music. Maybelle's "scratch" guitar playing style was a ground breaking sound. Anita did have a beautiful soprano voice but Helen and June were not that bad, the groups harmony was great.
legends
What a great son!
Such honesty, sometimes a hard life however easy to sing an old folk song a family who for others "with the Spirit of mysticism " from the hills to the mountains from the shores to the forest and farm we are here to pay credit to you
beautiful biography
June and Johnny married in 1968 and had been for 35 years at the time of her death. Vivian also married in 1968, to a police officer, and was until her death.
That’s nice
Saudades!
"She knew Elvis, She knew Hank Williams" LOL, both those men tried to date her sister Anita. All three sisters were beautiful women
@@foobarmaximus3506 I haven't heard anyone claim they were saints, just saying ....
@@foobarmaximus3506 Care to elaborate.
Well, whoever married Hank Williams, was going to be second best. But Elvis, I bet she could kick herself a few times.
Elvis and June had a short romance in the early 60s, Johnny later found the letters that Elvis had wrote her and threw them in the river
@@susannahsinclair4338 That's a rumour, Elvis had a thing for Anita first.
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. I’ve learned a lot.
👍🏻❤️
He grew up in a very privileged life that's why he doesn't understand his mother and his father's music as good as the fans do
But he knew the people better then any fan ever could, and that trumps all.
The one that got away by Katy Perry bought me here!
Its sad just knowing that Johnny had 4 daughters and a wife in which she loved dearly and Johnny told her so in letters and songs about her BUT June took that all away from those 4 girls when she had that affair...Johnny's first wife will ALWAYS his 1 TRUE LOVE...FOREVER...PERIOD... but June did help him through the struggles...thoses 4 girls Loved their DADDY...
June Carter was terrible to Vivian
June was awful to Vivian. Her attitude was "I'm important and you're not; I'm taking your husband". Vivian and John were married for 12 years and had 4 daughters. She was effectively erased so June could look like John 's savior. It is sad
Pretty amazing how she was raised to be such a good “Christian woman” and still knowing he was married with four daughters she obviously didn’t care! Nor did she care how it would affect those four innocent girls lives or His poor wife who had sacrificed everything for him and then was abandoned, and left there in Southern California while he was out whoring around with June Carter the good Christian women! I guess in a way you could say what she received was poetic justice, The relationship wasn’t that Rosie, Johnny Cash also had an affair with her younger sister Anita, it doesn’t get any worse that! Yes God is our judge, but facts are facts, and God wasn’t sleeping while this was going on! 🤣
John jr doesn’t look like either June or Johnny ❤️
I'm 70 now ,how long have I got left? Who knows
U have now tomorrow never comes.Yesterday was a gift tomorrow is promise today is a present.God bless
70 is not that old any more. These people did drugs most of their lives, and that is what has accelerated their days.
Ur greatest gift to humanity is ur experience if u can leave this world knowing that u improved it in any way way or helped down the line u probably changed thousands of lives not joking.Its call the butter fly effect a butterfly might snaps his wings in some continent and create a thunder storm in some other continent .as my father said its nice to be nice
Ola Galera tudo bem veja os meus videos eu toco Rock n Roll veja e Rock novo
He missed out on the hair. What happened? Johnny and June both had the big hair.
I wonder if she was a forgiving kind of gal if she ever went to Vivan ( Johnnies first wife) and ask her to forgive her for her taking her husband away from her and her girls?
I don't want to see a murdered deer on the wall! 😝
God, I am 69% in this book and I don't know how much more of this I can read. Do you still have 100 more pages of crap to tell us? This is such a horrible story, a horrible life. A horrible way to live! And no, God do not talk to anyone through a black bird. Whatever fortune that came your way, it was through your Dad's enormous talent. Your mom was an addict all along. She is what is called a functioning addict. When she got sixty, that ability to fool people, failed her. That was all that was. Why wasn't your dad so cool about it? Why did their relationship seemed to have improved? Because that was the only June he knew. Because he kept her secret. Their relationship improved because he no longer had to lie to at least you all about her. He was still lying to us, telling us how she got him off of drugs. The only person Johnny Cash had was Vivian. Even his daughter talked about Vivian's rage when he became a full blown addict. Now that she is older and is able to look at it from an adult perspective, how else should her mother have reacted. What Vivian needed was for family and friends to stand with her to save him. Instead they all stood with him and dismissed her. She lost. June won. Look at the life June gave him. When he left Vivian, his creative juices dried up. I am a stranger, looking at your life in pictures, well, because he was a celebrity. His best days was from 1955 to 1961. Those were the best days of his creative life. His very worst began when June became important to him.
You must be in love with Johnny Cash. You speak like a jaded ex, but you don't have a clue about these people. I'm gonna recommend some therapy and maybe a pill or two.
@@Hannibalonthelamb Well, you are close. This story have intoxicated me. I am obsessed. But no amount of money could make me fall for Johnny Cash. I have come to know him up close, and I would have never taken him home. Besides, the only woman Johnny Cash ever loved was his Vivian. Listen to his documentaries. He says her name different from everyone else. His voice trembles when he says her name. June who? He did not love her. I am just as shock as you. All the evidence are there. The book his son wrote about what he observed inside his house, was the final nail in the coffin. He wrote that Johnny Cash asked that all her stuff be removed. Johnny Cash probably imagined he could say that and everyone would assume he miss her so much he could not bare to see her stuff. Truth of the matter is, that is not how people who are grieving respond to the loss of someone they love. It is a miscalculation of many criminals. Not that I am saying anything nefarious. But yeah, he was liken to a criminal in that respect. We all got it wrong. Her death was a source of relieve, He was a man who was dying, yet briefly we saw a bit of life in him. All you gotta do is the research. Just treat everyone as white noise, and you yourself will see it. And the more I research Johnny Cash, the more I think about it, I am not absolutely certain everyone actually believed he was in love with June, so much as they were simply saying what they believed Johnny would like them to say that. I do not believe his sister thought this. She was mindful to avoid that conversation all together in an interview. If the love story was greater than life itself, then it would be a focal point of the interview with Cash sister. Also, I am reading his base player, Marshall Grant's book. He seem to go out of his way, not to paint a huge love story about John and June. You get the impression that his respect was reserved for Vivian, and that June was simply a part of his job. Johnny Cash was a mystery. I believe with all my heart he was in love with Vivian and not June. His son wrote how crazy he became a few years after he was married with June, meaning a few years after his own birth. Why? I believe that it is because he had already desecrated her. He had already done everything to her imaginable to get her to free him from their marriage and nothing worked. For her, being Mrs. Johnny Cash was intoxicated and she was not about to give it up. But that was good for him though. He was a dog. What even he though was love was just him being a dog.
@@soniacurrie4378 You're putting way too much time into your nonsense. Find reality, it'll do you a lot more help than God.
@@Hannibalonthelamb Interesting choice of words. This IS reality @strange Love. What I found was reality. But, you are right. I am putting way too much time in this. This revelation could not have happen at a worst time in my life. It is where my passion leans, but I do not have the time for it, not now, nor the foreseeable future.
Where do you get your information? You are a very angry person. Love june carter and johnny cash. ❤
She stood for purity??? Johnny Cash was a married man with kids when she took up with him...
Patti Smythe So what?
Takes two to tango
and??!

She fell into a burning ring of fire. Been there done that. There aint no stopping it.
