"SUEY"

[thechuckster007]

Does everyone know that "A. P." stands for Alvin Pleasant? Does anyone remember that there was another female involved with Alvin and Sarah? Maybelle!

[Photocolorado]

Too bad the video is compressed and distorted.

[ArkRed1]

At the insistance of Ralph Peer, A.P. Carter took old traditonal songs, changed a chord or a verse and then Ralph Peer had it copyrighted for Peer International under A.P.'s name. All Ralph Peer gave a damn about was the money. He had dollar signs for eyes. Looks like things haven't changed in the recording industry since 1927. Bucks am the bottom line. The artists are just toys to be played with.

[seancoxen]

The story behind the song here is not completely accurate. Sara did not write the song, and she and A.P. were well broken up even before her famous dedication to Coy over the radio. It's more the song that got Sara and Coy together than the one that broke her and A.P. apart. Also, no other source documents A.P. having a mistress, though I suppose it could be true.

[guimcasas]

What a great song, what a great voice... Keep on rockin' in heaven Mr. Cash!

[geohab]

What a pleasure to hear genuine un-amplified music sung by true talent! (And with the slim face, high cheekbones, toothiness and healthy good looks, doesn't June Carter look like one of the Kennedy women?)

[jimfields]

june carter is Cash's wife.

[JustOverInGloryLand]

[FasoSiKEN]

smells pure good old america

can listen again and again and again and again and ..........

[ManuelLogan]

Yes, ít's a beautiful song. June Carter, is that his wife?

[berndausberlin]

She became his wife three years after this recording. But they were already in love by this time.

[sleaponit21]

these are priceless thank you so much

[annie92220]

Very good. Johnny with his boots off is cute.

[Dogge69]

I saw em all now! and i loved em thanks for posting these old memories. But is there not anymore?

[twofortheroad]

I'm glad you liked them.  Yes, there is more. It's an hour long show. I only posted the June-centered moments. You can get the whole DVD on Amazon for under $20. It is definitely worth the investment as far as I'm concerned!

[jnizny]

Actually, (for lyknopisgilneas) The "Great Speckle Bird" by Roy Acuff was made as a mix between both the melody of "The Wreck of the old 97", (1924) and "I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes" (1928)

[virginbluedude]

She reminds me of my Nana, lol

[LykopisGilneas]

grey speckled bird

[annie92220]

That is to the tune of The Great Speckled Bird but they are singing Im Thinking Tonight of my Blue Eyes.

[Roosterchaps]

"I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes" with this melody was recorded by the Original Carter Family in 1929 and the melody has been used many times since for songs such as "The Great Speckled Bird" "The Wild Side of Life" and "It wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels"

Though the copyright attributes this melody to A.P Carter in 1929, Sara remembered hearing it as a little girl and it may be much older.

although I've expressed my thanks elsewhere I want to reinforce them here. This is absolutely timeless and wonderful to see, memories flood, a visual history and one of a kind! Thank you.

[agbz]

Thanx for posting and the great story behind the song. Nothin' like a good story behind the song.

[twofortheroad]

Yeah, I can never listen to this song without thinking of that love story. The original version is gorgeous, by the way, and it has A.P. singing on it!

[beccita]

Yes, I love the story! Where did you learn it?

[jimmywcline]
