Anita Carter & the Carter Family, live in 1971

Not sure what the name of this song is, but commenters usually fill me in pretty fast! It could be "Walkin In the Sun On The Sunny Side of Spain" or some abbreviation thereof. Anyhow, it's a lovely showcase for Anita Carter's voice, from the March 17, 1971 episode of "The Johnny Cash Show."

As pointed out correctly below, June is not in this video. That's Anita singing lead, seated and playing guitar. She was just short of her 38th birthday and at the absolute peak of her beauty and her singing ability, which is second to no one...period.

Unfortunately, she suffered from arthritis and the effects of it (or, more probably, her medication) shortened her life and caused her tremendous physical problems. As June said after Anita's death in 1999, "She just faded away..."

@PeggySue1013 Eclipsed by her sister, June. Got older and overweight, probably made her less marketable to the trendy 'yoof' audience. Shame that people never saw through that, she had the greatest voice.

I don't know .. But for me, JUNE always will be the best :')♥

The one with the guitar is Anita. June is not in this video. I believe she was pregnant with John Jr. at this time.

June is the one with guitar in her hands, CollaborationSeries.
