I Can't Help It - Hank Williams & Anita Carter.AVI

[Northman1066]

Great couple

Can anyone make out what Anita is saying to Hank as they are done singing? - to me it looks like a silent "Thank You" - but not sure.

[countrypaul]

She had the voice of an agel; he had the voice of the ages. They seemed to know so much of life, even though they were both so young. Thank you for posting this.

[momrobare]

I read a biography of the Carter Family and it told how Hank Williams was in love with Anita but never acted on it. It also told about the time Hank was chasing down his wife and instead ran Anita off the road and Mother Maybelle really lit into him. :)

[Aljoshaaa]

awesome ...thnx for posting dude :)))))

[mc803066]

[shyguy74577]

[TheDrewski321]

@joe23ba pussy. hank williams would take you outside and beat the fucking piss out of you if he had the chance

[TheCheeseBaron]

@joe23ba Shut your mouth son

[SuperMarvinjames]

@joe23ba HANK WILLIAMS is the greatest singer and songwriter who ever lived so I guess he can wear his hat any way he wants to.

[asswhole4444]

i love old songs and videos thanks for the post

[RebekkhaGiL]

Anyone else find it weird that this was on BBC Four?

[Gina3725]

They were cute singing together.

[DrRocksosBitch]

@dixiegirl2249 i would have for sure

[hugeelen]

Anita Carter was such a good singer !!!

[KyCavalier]

@ diexgirl 2249; She seems taken in by him...Little shy, awed, and nervous being next to him; very feminine look about this young Anita.

[BradBrassman]

@KyCavalier I heard they fancied each other a lot, but that Mamma Maybelle, knowing Hanks reputation, would have none of it.

[KyCavalier]

Nice!!

[dixiegirl2249]

I probably would have fainted if i was Anita.

[johnnyangelxxx]

@dixiegirl2249 you mean if a dead man sat down beside you and started to sing? i think i know what you mean!!

[0691Barbie]

How beautiful is this :( and lol@ 'is that Woody from Toy Story'!

[5050zulu1]

Is that Woody from toy story ?

[SuperMarvinjames]

@5050zulu1 No, This is HANK WILLIAMS, the greatest singer and songwriter who ever lived. I guess you don't get out much.

[ekomifingpa36]

an incredible songwriter and the best women's voice I ever heard...

[carter4871]

thank you...

[rubbing2001]

The very first video I've seen of Hank Williams Sr. I am impressed!

[skilmer]

damn dude, i wish that we had this in HD10millionP with crystalline audio

[xcesar4impx666]

they dont make artist like they used to ,imagine ,such good sound with out even digital high tech crap, they used today to make bad singers sound grate ,,haahhahah awesome video, thank you !!!

[TheFarmerfitz]

@xcesar4impx666 exactly. In those days, songs were recorded straight onto a vinly record... So you heard, what you would here goin to a live show...Now days if a mistake is made on a recording, they can smooth it out... Back then, they had to throw away the record and start over!!!

[jdf6740]

I agree with JsgHair71....she's looking at Hank like she is in love with him.....You never know is right.....Great Harmony BTW.

[HansBooBee]

This is a powerful piece. I wish I could get some of these Opry shows starring Hank on DVD, there just doesn't seem to be much video of this legend.

[TheKev1960]

two words missing from today....sweet and innocent

[flint589]

Anita's eyes says itn all,She is lovely

[clyderf]

I posted a response on another posting of this same material, and I believe it was edited out, so I'll try here. My response was to a previous response there which stated that Hank's music led to Rock and Roll. I usually avoid being negative, and I agree that everyone has a right to their opinion, but on that one I can't hold back mine. Hank greatly elevated music rather than pointing it toward an artistic nose dive.

[w9j15g]

Thank you so much for uploading this. We have only a precious few of Hank's performances on film, so this is much appreciated by someone who was born after his death.

[Redskins2800]

amazing, wish i was there

[JsgHair71]

I agree with all who have commented on Anita Carter really looking like she's in love with HW. You never know...

[AcryforhelpAaahhh]

Here's another old fashion country love song in the wake of Valentines. I sort of giggle when I see this because you can see a very young Anita Carter is ga ga and shy at the same time singing face to face with Hank Williams.

[whatincarnation]

Its awesome to see these two legends sing together

[MrGumerk]

This is good stuff ^^ passionate even!

[mdsftx]

Geez, Louise. She looks like she really is still in love. Look at the coy eye movements.

[dbitnblinkers]

 I am so glad I clicked on this video,it could be the best interaction of

two singers I've ever seen in my life. thanks
