From "The Johnny Cash Show," May 13, 1970. The second-season finale of his TV show, Johnny brings his mom on stage to accompany him on the first song he ever sang in public, as she did when he was 12 years old. "Powerful" doesn't begin to cover it.

  • This is more than powerful. It is making me cry it is so beautiful and has personal meaning. I grew up listening to 'mountain' gospel songs. I grew up listening to mountain harmonies. When I was young I thought it was funny singing when we went back to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Now it is my favorite music. So many are gone, but the music remains. His mama is beautiful and this video is a treasure! I can't thank you enough for posting.

  • @MyMoppet52 It is literally my pleasure. I'm like an evangelist for Johnny Cash and the ideals he represented. Glad it moved you; confidentially, this clip has the same effect on me!

  • Wow! That was awesome, to see Johnny and hi Mom, performing together! I've never heard this song done so slow before. Few could 'pull it off.' The Cash's did! :c) Great post! 5 Star's!

  • hehe...love that voice, and that piano...

  • This makes me cry, cry, cry O'h John where Art thou

  • what kind of person could dislike this 

  • Johnny sings w/an Angel.His Mother! This made me cry.

  • Johnny Cash carried himself in a up-right commanding way with his unmistakeable voice and almost Jeffersonian appearance. I think he was a bit of all of us and a credit to America's heritage. I miss Johnny Cash, but I am sure I'll hear him sing again up yonder in a little while.

  • how this hay on the best of his t.v show dvd is beyond me

  • @alanyoung2 If that's the case, you're pretty hard to pin down on anything.

  • @moproducer Yes i do.

  • @abargle Johnny Cash's ideals were, to put it mildly, all over the map. Some were even strange. Like his friend Merle Kilgore once said, "Genius comes in the oddest packages".

    So do you represent ALL of Johnny Cash's ideals?

  • how sweet:) his mom was pretty along side june and her sisters and dont forget mother maybelle:)
