Hank Williams and Anita Carter - I Can't Help It If I'm Still in Love with You

[orangehornet57]

This is definitely Anita. One book said that she was supposed to get a solo spot. It got taken by a singer Roy Acuff was promoting. So Hank nicely let her sing along with him. They should have sung together so more.

I didn't have TV in my area until 1955, but use to hear this show on the radio. this was a great show with the whole Grand Ole Opry Gang.

[gazz99able]

This is just something great altogether.

[ecmodell]

first, thats june? absolut fantastic!

[20thcenturysurvivor]

Just look at the love in her eyes that could not be.

[torgo714]

I love this slowed down version, very bluesy. A song I sang for over 30 years for the one who got away.

[shimmy1952]

True Country!!!



[rhythm7a]

Wow this is great!

[helenmain]

What in the world could be better than this real singing from real people

[wis78rpm]

Kate Smith Evening Hour. April 23, 1952. See HANK WILLIAMS: The Complete Website He's 28. She's 19. They're adults. They seem to like each other.

[mccurryburg]

indeed it is

[Mouldytone]

I had no idea that a film clip of Anita and Hank survived. Thanks internet, and thanks to the poster. Anita is my favourite female country singer of all time and Hank is .... Hank!

[celticvisions4]

i bet it made Audrey awful jealous haha mighta led to one of those infamous fights

[ricknelms]

wow

[grebel82]

awful struck is right... i'd be awful struck too, w/handsome Ol' Hank singin' at me like that....

[GregoryLoveStory]

Don't believe it..speechless..it makes me cry!!

[HansBooBee]

They need to put the Opry back in the Opry! This corporate shit ruined country music. Today's country acts are about the same quality of the Backstreet Boys.

brought to you by BAB*O,my mom use it, do they still make it.

this video is another treasure i found surfing , what i like is that it is simple and not big and fancy.

looks like hank is about to give anita a kiss.

[HoboGus]

Hank was the greatest country song writer and performer of all time.

[tlesuer]

great find, thank you.

[stuffby63]

was that June carter introducing the song?

[deadleppards76]

@stuffby63 yes sir

[grebel82]

@stuffby63 yes it was...

[sissy22374]

wow



[Mouldytone]

I`d heard Hank Snow songs recorded with a female singer whose voice I instantly fell in love with but didn`t find out for a couple of years that it was Anita Carter. Anita Carter is my all time favourite female country singer. As far as this clip goes, Anita and Hank Williams? Country music heaven. Thanks so much for the clip.

[rockakitty1993]

they looked ready to kiss at the end

[kittos1943]

This music and these songs will never die.

[MrCraig1930]

Reading all these entries. If Hank was still alive, from all the years I've listened to Hank. His style of music lead into Rock and Roll. Yes I also wonder what Hank would be like now. I've seen Hank on stage in Oklahoma and the Louisana Hayride and he was an outstanding entertainer.

[momac71]

@MrCraig1930 I am so envious when I read you actually saw the man. I was born 1942 in the UK & I didn't really get into Hank till he was gone. By the way , your name is surely originally Scottish. God Bless

[luvthatzeppelin]

Unbelievable how perfect this entire moment was...

Every sound, every eye movement, every aspect of it...

One of those MAGIC moments in music....

[jesset9904]

it dont get no better than this

[46r11]

pick up the tempo for God sakes

[joemanpjg]

awesome video gatorrock787

We miss Hank he'll never be replaced...R.I.P HW

[Georgewos]

Just think if Hank Williams had lived so much longer, The beautiful music he could have made singing with Anita Carter. The beautiful songs he would have written.

[iamlovedbysomeone]

I wonder if that made big sister June a little nervous, that there tension between Hank and Anita....

I get chills every time I watch this. Every time!

[fuzzysdad]

Wow

[redeyedrednek]

Gives me goosebumps every time i hear this!

[charlesdespres]

It don't get no better than this!

[jazdrum68]

@charlesdespres Amen amen amen I love it!!!!!! You are so correct!!!!!!!!
