- RUclips Originals presents The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash stands among the giants of 20th century American life. But his story remains tangled in mystery and myth. This documentary, created with the full cooperation of the Cash estate and rich in recently discovered archival materials, brings Cash the man out from behind the legend. Taking the remarkable Folsom Prison recording as a central motif and featuring interviews with family and celebrated collaborators, the film explores the artistic victories, the personal tragedies, the struggles with addiction, and the spiritual pursuits that colored Johnny Cash's life.
The Original Score to the documentary is available now, featuring essential Johnny Cash recordings & original score by Mike McCready incorporating exclusive interview soundbites with Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, and others. JohnnyCash.lnk.to/TheGiftOST

I don’t generally comment on RUclips, but I feel I have to. I think that Johnny Cash is timeless. His voice, with its bold yet humble tone, and later in life a tone of a weathered man, speaks to the downtrodden. Those who feel lost, without direction. His voice, moreso than any lyric or instrument(not to say those are not important) contributes to his unmatched ability to speak to anyone. Truly a legend in music and art in general
My Dad loved his music, so we heard Johnny all of our lives....now, my kids love him too. Iconic soul. His voice is too deep to emulate easily, but no matter which octave you start on, the range is incredibly wide. I always end up stumbling and laughing whenever I try to sing a Johnny Cash song.
Could not have put it any better

Same here!
I’m 55 years old and I can remember my Dad building our house and listening to Johnny Cash. His music was ingrained into my soul and luckily, my 19 year old son feels the same.
Excellent video. I really appreciate Johnny cash much more now
RUclips making a video on someone who actually mattered.
(Everybody liked that)
Amen to that
Matt Tracy yesssss
Right? 🎖
Johnny had that unbelievable talent.
wtf ??? 🤨🤨🤨
What a remarkable documentary. I’m a 53 yr old Black woman who always loved Johnny Cash’s voice/music. Now that I know more of his story and how spiritual he was, I love him even more and wish more of his music would be played today! God blessed you Mr. Cash! 🙏
@@heejadeetorn753 The reason I mentioned my race is to show how his music crosses race, as any music should; however, as you know, during the height of J.C’s career there was much more of a racial divide.
@@schandrikawilliams2792 I love that you know who you are. There are some who would have us think otherwise. I was wondering why you mentioned your age and then being a woman. That is a no no.
@@schandrikawilliams2792 much love as a mixed man I loved his music as well and music does transcend race. Much love 🥰
@@seanm7539 🙏🥰
Fuck yeah dude. I'm a a 21 year old dude from the Philippines (greatest country in the world) and fucken love him. His music transcends age, race and personality.
Rick Rubin will forever have my respect for giving Johnny a way to finish his life with respect and letting him do what he loves all the way to the very end. He really deserved an ending like that.
agreed
So tru about him. Tks. ❤😊
Its 2022 and I am watching this and I hope that people still know his music for many years to come this man was a legend!
Son las 5 am no puedo dormir. Febrero 9 del 2022 me encuentro con éste documental. Sin duda un genio musical, cantante y compositor dotado de un gran don. Su legado es grande y conectará generaciones.
@@letyazuarahernandez9900 its after 3am February, 26 2022. I can't sleep. This documentary is playing. I am over sixty years old. I grew up listening to Cash because my parents had his records and attended his shows. My brother and I would play his records when we were young kids.
Listening to this man and then listening to the modern “country” shows how he will always be better than the modern times.
I'm 48 years old and as a musician, I come from a hard rock/metal background but love Johnny Cash.
The man is a legend in my opinion.
26 been listening nonstop the last two weeks and intermittently since 15. My parents and grandparents grew up with his music
This was great. I watched this on the anniversary of my husbands passing. He loved Johnny Cash. So I'll take it as a sign that he is watching over me. We will meet again on some sunny day ... at the Far Side Banks of Jordan. Thank you so much for this awesome documentary.
Hi Carmen
Johnny Cash was a awesome man. His life was so full of everything. Love, loss, addiction, redemption, ups and downs.Thru it all he never stopped trying to help others!! His children were given a gift. Johnny’s music will live forever!!!
hear hear from all his fans utube Thank you for letting us learn from his words ... The sadness that going on the tragedy these three generations have indirect been exposed to by not taking part in group learning isolation for anyone who has been thru it knows it comes depression and bring out the worst in people .. I'll not use the words . . I'm just feeling you expressed it well... there's no easy answers yet the poetry of music is long as we share this will help our world spinal into a better place not man women, children, and our whole animal kingdom ...
Yes
Great songs
I was moved more spiritually than I have been in years. Thank you Jesus... Long live Johnny Cash
It's been said, peoplel either love or hate ol'Johnny Cash; yep, it's true, Cash has such a Transparent face, you can see his soul at a glance, and it's a very deep, humble, and kind one. Rare in a celebrity! It overrode his hellish addictions finally.
my dad was a correctional officer in san quentin remembers johnny in the 60's. he is 96, still alive.
That's one to tell the grandkids" Wow what an experience! Your Dad was able to share an awesome story!
That's awesome
fuck man, i cant imagine seeing this man live. what an honor it mustve been
Thanks for your reply, when I was a teen, had to listen to him over and over about his days at s.q.s.p.,Johnny Cash this, Johnny cash that....Then I grew up and got a job as a correctional officer and saw Metallica in 2003. I did the same to my dad and my kids. such is life....
The first country music concert I ever went to was Johnny cash. And June Carter. It was wonderful! Johnny cash had in a blue shirt with ruffles on the front. He was so handsome. I told my husband man he’s so beautiful. Later I was happy to learn Johnny was friends with Elvis. My husband laughed at me saying Johnny cash was handsome. My husband was a very handsome man himself. It was on Austin Texas. We were in about the tenth row. If I remember right mother Mabel and the girls were there too. It was a good show.
Johnny and June’s daughters singing together was beautiful.
June was not the mother of those girls.
All those daughters were Vivian’s daughters. (His first wife) a far classier lady than June could dream of.
If the real America had a voice, that would be Johnny Cash’s voice.
I used to listen to his music every day at my receptionist job in my mid 20s. I grew up hearing his music. There’s none like Johnny Cash. His faith is inspiring! God bless you Johnny. I’ll see you in paradise one day.
I had his San Quentin album on an 8-track that I listened to driving back and forth to college on I-95. When I graduated, he came to the Opera house in Wilmington, Del. We went to see him and later Loretta Lynn. I had always wanted to be a singer, I remember watching JC on the tv at my grandparents house and said to myself, that's exactly what I would love to do. I was a fan of his early music and his later self-published albums. I joined the Navy and listened to him up until his death in '03 when I saw him on the cover of Time magazine in the airport coming back from Iraq. He has always been my personal hero. He seemed to be on a mission to sing about the common man, somehow eclipsing so much that brings other artists down right at the start. He is truly a legend.
Amen
Thanks RUclips for streaming this free. Americans,and the world, absolutely love Johnny Cash.
And Spain too :D
Bulgaria as well!
Indians also love him
many Indians too :)
Italy too😘
Such a humble and good man, he inspired me to turn from drugs and turn to Jesus.
Switch religion
@@music4you372 no
Some of his songs made me wanna do drugs
@@alexharmon1620 at one point in my life I was doing them and listening to him as well, But his personal message and where he went in the end of his life is exactly where I want to be. Living with no regrets, humble, and Loving God. Thank God I’m 4 years sober and will remain. It’s anyone’s choice to do drugs, not believe in God and I’ll never tell you that your wrong for it. But I will tell you it’s right for me to be Clean and walk in faith. And I hope someday others get to as well.
@@music4you372 your a bigoted misguided turd.
The Man in Black reminded me that no one is beyond atonement or redemption. I thank him for that. May his and June’s valley be filled with joyful peace. I am forever grateful for the gift.
One of the few celebrities I would have loved to meet. Such a deep well of wisdom, emotion, happiness, and sorrow, often in the same song. There will never be another like Johnny Cash.
Unlike most, John lived a brutally honest life. That’s what makes me weep. That I may never truly live. That I will never be so courageous to admit my sins and never be so humble to seek my redemption. Thank you John
Well, live, be, and seek.
We alll need to seek redemption through Jesus Christ who died for us
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Any Sin!!
You don't need to _"Seek redemption or admit your sins."_ Just be a good person and leave the lives of people you meet better than when you met them.
@@ROOKTABULA there is a heaven and a hell.Jesus Christ died for you and us and paid for our sins dearly,painfully, so that we may be saved.Good works will not save us
This man's story is so beautiful even RUclips couldn't fuck it up
This is one of the best comments I’ve ever seen
This made me choke on my AIR😂
They didn't make it, they financed it.
It was a great show! I watched it all the time.
RUclips didn’t create the documentary.
Johnny cash dealt with a lot of pain in his life but was able to bring joy to so many. He was truly one of a kind and an absolute GIFT to this world. May he rest in peace.
“Hello I’m Johnny Cash” I’ve always loved those words & Now I know why! This is a wonderful documentary, and if you haven’t read his book, read it, it’s called Man in Black and I believe the movie was called Man in Black also! He was a great
man & I got to see him in concert and it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen! ❤
What a voice. Like velvet. We get down and we get back up. Jesus is always there
Like a rock He calls us to himself Our creator wants us with HIM for eternity.
Every time I see him I think about how great was Joaquin Phoenix playing him.
RIP to one of the greatest artists ever.
One Of My Favorite Movies!!!
OMG! He did such a GR8 job in that movie! L❤VED it so much!
with out this Man Big John Cash Mr Phoenix would never have made walkin the line . This Man Walked that Line 😉
@@mistyziegler5004 how High's the water Papa Johnny Cash
i have some minor complaints about the movie, but i liked it anyway. i can't think of any other actor who could've done it so believably.
I didn't expect the level of emotion this documentary would stir in me.
same here
Me neither, Don’t know Why i start crying at June Carter part, the ring of fire. ” June Carter did”
An Amen to that brother.
I started crying when he talked about his brother dying, and cried several times after that. What a great man he was. He broke the "color" barrier. He professed his faith in God, and was punished for it, but he overcame. He loved and was loved. Truly a gift.
Alexander Garese
That part especially hit me hard.
There are no words to describe what his voice does to my soul. All I can do is listen and experience it, and then listen again.
Powerful words ❤️
I am half way through and I'm hooked. Cash really was a completely self aware man, and way ahead of his time. Such a strong and turbulent soul. RIP Mr. Cash, and thank you for helping my father as he slipped deeper into alcoholism. He eventually lost the battle, but Johnny gave him light during a long dark period.
This is SO good. I’m only 25 but I’ve always been so drawn to Johnny Cash and his music and everything he stood for..
katiev9494 give Elvis a listen and a study, too.
im only 12 and im the same way :)
Grew up hearing johnny cash (19) I'm glad I looked into him, he's a golden person💛
Wow youngins listening to cash how bout that lol. You like 25 or younger 2 matt lol
My father always played Johnny Cash for me as a kid and I've always loved him (24)
I believe, Johnny Cash singing by himself and strumming a guitar in his house, recorded with a home video camera, sounded better than anything any other artist can produce in a studio.
I agree
Storms Never Last
Mo Pitney Storms Never Last
You're probably right because Cash had a down home style of singing
Man you are so right, Johnny is a gifted artist!!!
I thank my parents for raising me on Johnny Cash. Best thing they’ve ever did.
Johnny Cash truly had the “gift” he was a spiritual being who channeled the music of the Universe!! His life wasn’t easy, so many challenges but I’m grateful he found his true soulmate that repaid him for so much🙏🙏 Thank you for this moving biography.
When he reminisced about his brother hearing the angels sing! Beautiful.
I almost cried at work because of it
I don't often tear up. But I did at that story.
@@TomorrowWeLive Me to
That’s what got me too when his brother said do you hear the angels singing , it’s beautiful .
My great grandfather did the exact same thing. Dad said it just sent cold chills up his spine to watch his grandfather leave, describing what he heard.
Edit: typo
When Jack died at the beginning it actually brought tears to my eyes
Me too Bro...
@@henryhill3778 I had to skip...
I never knew his sad story, first time I have seen in the movie "Walk the Line" and now hearing again from himself, it's really sad!
HEART💜 BREAKING
So sad. I always loved JohnnybCash and can't wait to see him and June in Heaven.
What a well crafted documentary with the train theme and Johnny’s songs throughout. It doesn’t sugar coat, or preach, just tells a tale of a humble human doing his best with what he’s been given. Amen!
Wow, I never thought I would finish watching this documentary in tears and sobs.I think this was the best time to get to know Johnny Cash. God rest his soul!
Ditto Picto ! I`m 61 and was raised on Johnny Cash Music . Peace Brother
All Things Work together for Good for them That Love God and are Çalled According to His Purpose !!! What a wonderful testimony of Jesus Love And Faithfulness! ❤
@@jussitikkuri6991 wod
Just the same, tears and other things, Great Man, Great film!
I don't know why but Johnny Cash'es loss of his brother and what his father said to him, just brings me to tears..I can only imagine how tortured you'd be if you were made to feel responsible for your siblings death..How deep that would cut into your soul..Shame on his father for doing that..
His father asked forgiveness for that. I’m glad they ALL came together under Jesus Christ redemption.
We are all sinners in need of Jesus Christ Our Savior
I wonder how many of us would put our lives to song, publicly singing what lives in the heart. Johnny Cash's truths pave the way for millions of folks to have a chance to find a kindred spirit in Johnny, reaching that point looking to help make sense of humanity on this road we all walk. Jesus, Love and Forgiveness, opens the way for so much more, priceless, what a beautiful Gift.
Addiction negatively impacts generations. He lived long enough to see his own grandson struggle with addiction.
Marty Stuart said there are two types of people in this world: those who like Johnny Cash and those who don’t know it yet.
I was one of those who didn't know it yet. I am a concert pianist by profession and i never knew much about Country Music before. Thank you, Ken Burns, and thank you to my new hero, Johnny Cash. Wish i could have known you.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen
One of the best country music artists ever
He was the best
Absolutely
Fuckin rights
I raised myself on Johnny
not one of the best he was the best not just in country just the best artist all together.
Thank you Lord for saving me and leading Johnny home with you ❤️
I was born in '72, and I grew up listening to Johnny Cash. Even as a child, I could tell that he was so soecial. Even as a child, my 24yo autistic son could tell how great he was. Johnny didn't have a "perfect singing voice", but you could just FEEL the pain in his words. When June passed away, my Mom said "he won't last long without her", and she wasn't wrong. My brother absolutely HATES his rendition of "Hurt", but if you listen to the words, and watch the video, it's like a knife to the heart. To this day, I still tear up sometimes when I watch that video.
If Man in Black was re-released as a single it would go right to the top of the charts, it has even more meaning today than ever.
@fkujakedmyname It's not that controversial though lol he's just talking about looking after the ones we leave behind, not burning buildings and rioting
It’s midnight and I’m balling my eyes out. This man was one of a kind. My life wouldn’t be the same without him
Johnny always manages to touch my heart ❤️
I'm crying too this documentary was so touching, if you hadn't watch walk the line equally touching to the letter .
Liza Rose Miggo, one cannot help but cry his life was really harsh yet so great he share his heart with the world. I heard Johnny Cash most of my life of 64 years I had to watch this video so great yet make any one cry.
You are too …one of a kind 🧡
The man in black will never be forgotten
Johnny and.June are strolling over HEAVEN together ❤ , They were great ❤
Im only 40 years old right now but i still respect the hell out of him and the the part about his brother when he was dying had me crying
Johnny Cash has impacted 3 generations in my family. My Pops was a big fan. I am a fan and now my 35 yr old son loves him. That is one hella legacy. RIP our Brother.
I try to emulate Johnny by telling it like it is. Most people don't like hearing the truth. They'd rather sugarcoat it and make it sound less honest. Thank you Johnny for being my role model and by helping me to follow your courage in telling the truth.
I remember when Johnny cash and George Jones used to party together. I had the pleasure of running into them when I was 13 years old in a small little bar in El Paso Texas. They were wide open and drunk and the time. I believe they have just come back across the boarder.i didn't speak to them I just stood there and watched. It's something I'll never forget. I'm an old man now but I lived a good life.
John being relegated to playing small shows allowed poor people like us to access his music in person. Mr. Cash and a young Reba are the only live shows I ever got to see.
amazing
Lucky.
I partially regret favoring Johnny Cash because he sucked
Hey fellow 20 somethin year olds and younger who's extremely happy they were raised on Johnny?
My grandpa, by whome I was raised, often listened to it when I was a kid.
But I have to admit, I wasn't that much into it, until I bought my first guitar at age of 15. When one Day I had no idea what songs to learn next, grandpa suggested the man in black. So i revisited his work, and fell in love with it.
Right here
Currently 25 now and been listening to this man since 10yrs old. Amen
I am! The man in black has kept me going over the years, for myself and for a reminder of my loved ones that are no longer here ❤️
25 years old. Can name off 100 songs of his off the of my head. Thanks bb. (What I call my grandmother.)
I Always loved how Johnny handled his fathers toughness. People in this generation would have never handled it like he did. Now a days the kids would call the cops and expect to to be spoiled.
Yeah it's very sad how different generations will cry abuse at every turn. There's a reason why Johnny Cash's father's generation was called the greatest generation. There's no one like them today
Ive been praying since the day Cash died that he has found the redemption he had seeked for so long. The man still brings peace to my troubled heart everytime i listen to him.
Meredith, Jesus offers redemption if you just believe he died for you. There's no need to fear all this time that you won't make it, if you call in the name of Jesus and believe it doesn't matter what you've done, you'll get redemption. And it doesn't matter what the world says, you're saved the minute you believe in Him .
As a young man in the seventies I never listened to or enjoyed country music,but I would always check out music by Johnny Cash. He wasn't a rocker and wasn't a country act.he was the original crossover act. His genre was Johnny Cash.
When Johnny took the pleasure to publish another's song, it became a Cash song and I bet that that the song-writer was truly honoured.
He’s definitely folk country you stupid fuck
@@justinwesson6249 No need to curse, none. You sound a little agitated. Maybe you need a massage ? There's a parking-lot, steps away from my domicile in Vancouver, Canada. We could schedule an appointment. If you prefer, just shoot me the name of the rock you were born and live under, I'll be right over. It's easy to taunt people when your not looking them straight in the eye. Coward.
Murray Scott I apologize. Cash is one of the founders of outlaw country. You aren’t from the south and don’t listen to country that much; so I apologize.
@@justinwesson6249 no worries
Listening to this while doing schoolwork. I’m only 14 but I grew up listening to Johnny Cash. He is still by far my favorite artist of all time.
i’m so glad my dad introduced me to johnny, i’m 16 and I owe a lot to his music and how it has impacted my life
saaaaaaaaaame
you on good track for life, mate.
Find somebody else to emulate kid.
Johnny stayed at a lodge in Painters Creek, Alaska. My mom and dad owned it. I was told he was the kindest, loveliest person they have ever had at the lodge.
When I came back to Christ, I listened to him over and over… he spoke to my heart
Johnny cash represents a lot of what America is, his story is not unique but typical of the times, but his voice was something else
Johnny's life of redemption should be applauded by all! So love his honesty! We need more of that today!
Eternity will not be about any of us or what we have done. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We all deserve hell and then the lake of fire on judgement day.
Power of the TESTIMONY...dont ABUSE it
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv your statement is not what God or Jesus are about. Jesus showed love and compassion to sinners, he welcomed sinners, he did not threaten hell but offered redemption, he asked for forgiveness for sinners. As humans we are all sinners - some people misguidedly think themselves better than others because they think their sins better than the sins of others, but sin is sin. Johnny Cash understood this and sought (and gave) forgiveness throughout his life as well as redemption. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone …..
My Dad took me kicking and screaming to see him at the Ohio State Fair back in probably 1976 -77.I look and say thank you Dad for my appreciation of classic quality music.
I had a woman that I met online back in like 1998 or so and when I talked about Johnny Cash she wasn't interested, and I knew the search for a possible mate couldn't include her. I found it funny that she was from Oklahoma but moved to Texas and her favorite show on TV was Friends. And in a way she hated whites, though she was a white and it almost seemed to me that she also was weird where it came to her students. Just come odd things.
I was privileged to meet Johnny Cash once and shook his hand. He was a humble man.
Eu te invejo por isso...
Jonny Cash was the Man in Prison!!! Everyone loved him!!!
I've been a huge fan of Johnny Cash for 55 years. With all the trouble and pain he went through, Johnny knew God was the answer to get him through this life. His faith was as strong as ever and as he knew his life was about over. I can't wait to meet Johnny in heaven.
Eternity will not be about any of us or what we have done. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We all deserve hell and then the lake of fire on judgement day.
Amen Brother he's there waiting for us !!!

I agree. Johnny cash and June was the first country music concerts I ever went to.

Wish I was born sooner to see Johnny Cash
Anyone who is in his late 60's or early 70's and was ever impacted by the music and talent of this legend will always carry the feeling of being one with Johnny Cash. May he rest in peace. Thanks for uploading
Thank you RUclips!
I was blessed to meet Johnny Cash in Las Vegas in the 90s. I always admired him..An American treasure!
Polkadot Suzanne i am so jealous he’s like my idol I always wanted to see him in concert what a genius

Doesnt get any better than this man. He was a gift to this world. God bless Johnny Cash
This film is so so moving ...
Thank you for bringing Johnny Cash in his words and music. Hearing from those that so loved him is humbling and adds.

I just feel like crying I was so touched by this. No-one
knew pain like Mr. Cash. I never knew I would have the privilege to see this. He means so much more to me now. I know he is in Heaven with the angels singing. Thank God for this man.
@Honest Mark Thanks for replying I have kept thinking about this since I watched it.
He was truly a genuine person
hard to find these days. I'm honored to have seen it. I use to watch his tv show. I remember how good it was. I was young then but I tuned in every Sat. night. I remember when his son was born. I'll never get to meet him, maybe some day in Heaven.
I bet he is with June. I love his family too. Take care Mr. Cash write some gospel songs and sing them for Jesus. Farewell
to you and Jack.
This is honestly one of the best documentaries I’ve ever watched hands down.
Momma can you hear the Angels... no I can't hear them.... oh momma sure wish you could their so beautiful. Now Johnny and his brother are both Dancing on the floors of heaven with the Angels and mom and dad all together again. Life is but a season but heaven is eternity. He was born to be Johnny Cash so he could be a legacy on why he wore Black.
I cried. I felt like I was there with them.
Lol
Don’t forget June. He and his brother loved June since they heard her on the radio when they were young
Not sure he'd care if his pops was there
@@plasteredbastard
hehe
The 2nd time watching this. Johnny went thru a hard life. He loved his 1st wife & all his children. But his life took him away from home drugs set in. I believed June & their Life saved him. 🙏 June helped him thru his returning Drugs. He loved their son John Carter Cash. Later son started to perform with them. They All became happier. When June died Johnny became weaker. I believe he died from a Broken Heart 💔. Johnny & June RIP 🙏 🕊 ❤❤❤❤!❤❤❤❤
Ive been an addict of one sort or another since i was 15 yrs old. I watched a documentary about Johnny Cash once,he was doing a concert and sang " A junkies prayer". I love this song and you can hear and feel that he's been through this at some stage. He paused before he sang it and said "I love all of you alcoholics and i love all of you junkies,and god does too." What a mighty man,a great influence and hes put his past problems to good use. RIP Johnny!
Hi. How are you ?
Memory Lane with Johnny Cash. Today is a good day.
On Veterans Day. Honoring an incredible veteran. A veteran of the armed forces. A veteran of music. A veteran of trials, tribulations, life and love. I am so humbled and am in tears. 36 years old and all I can say is we can all only hope to love and live as this man did.

I'm from India and I am his great fan, I'm also a guitarist teaching kids.
I was nine years old in church and fell asleep and fell over on June's lap Johnny sitting next to her.....now is that a memory to remember? I'm 56 that was Hendersonville TN ....the last year of Jonny's life 2003 I almost lost mine ....took me twenty years to crawl out......all this I say is called......life.....Johnny Cash lived it but he was a good man ....they never once acted like anything other than normal people that day I fell asleep in church.....at nine yrs old I was a boy and they were just people in a pew......I always remember Johnny an June for the day they weren't stars.....God was!!!!😊
You have a beautiful memory. I'm really happy to hear someone else talk about Johnny and June as people.
I have heard stories of people who say that June was not a nice person, or that Johnny was not a nice person. But, these are the same people who probably met them at a difficult time in their lives, and they also have a prejudice of not liking Johnny and June.
I would have loved to have meet Johnny and June in person just once. I'll look for them in heaven
How can anybody watch this without feeling the tears coming to their eyes???
Cash inspired me to fight against my struggles. He really is there.
I grew up listening to Johnny cash and I still love his music to this day. Now that I’m older, I appreciate his music now more than ever. His last albums before he passed were masterpieces! He will always be a legend
I don't know it never registered with me how young both June and John were when they died. Legends like these just seem to live forever. Great documentary. How it inspires many to live the lives they feel they were destined to.
Hi Elaine
broke my heart to hear johnny talk about his brother, johnny had such a hard life, a father that never supported nor loved him, but through it all he got through it , found june and finally had some love in his life,,,,,,, he was such a proud, hard working man , much like my dad, rest in peace johnny , my dad's name also loveya missya dad
YES!! He reminds me of my Dad too.
Ummm he had love in his life before June...Vivian had filed for divorce in 1966 because of Cash's severe drug and alcohol abuse, as well as his constant touring and his repeated acts of adultery with other women including his close relationship with June. Their four daughters were then raised by their mother Vivian.
@@pattyh2410 looks as if she did pretty ok from it with the films showing the house and that..he was a provider and did what he had to do
@@pleidiolwyfimwlad2104 typical male response. He put her through hell. Drugs, alcohol, womanizer, adulterer…for years. She was the stable parent because HE was never around. Not to say he didn’t love his kids, he just had other priorities…like drugs and women. Don’t get me wrong, he was a major talent, but he had many flaws, and was the cause of breaking up his family.
@@pattyh2410 typical woman response...ur all money grabbers at the end of the day..sure it says that she didnt allow him 2 see the kids..but guess she was happy taking his money..what did she contribute 2 the finances??bet she never worked a day...u ever thought maybe he didnt love her any more,which obviously he didnt.
I was surprised and disappointed that they didn't mention the phenomenal success of the Hurt video. Possibly the greatest music video ever made.
Yes,I to was waiting for that. Even to hear form Trent reznors thoughts who said he did the song best
One of the best men who ever lived in country music ! God bless him and June!
Wow. What a wonderful look at Johnny Cash’s life. Not sugar coated. His voice still touches my soul. May he and his beautiful soulmate rest in peace.
An absolute Brilliant Tribute to the Man in Black. The greatest of them all
Hearing Johnny talking about when Jack died hit home. We have a wonderful God.
@Andrew Salter You weren't paying attention. Jack heard angels singing to him & told Johnny.
@Andrew Salter Sometimes he does what seems like bad stuff for character development for the better
This was a phenomenal documentary. Thank you for putting this together.
What a gift June was to Johnny. To love him the way she did in spite of his personal problems. To the children who loved their father thou he was not there for them for many years.
Thank you Johnny for being so vulnerable and sharing your struggles with us.
Most importantly, that you loved Jesus Christ and are presently with Him.
Jn 15:18
1st Jn 2:15-17
He and June were some of the greatest singers I've ever seen, because of who they were as people
I loved Johnny Cash since I was a baby. I'm 55 now..I'll ALWAYS love him..his voice..his story. I just cried so hard watching this documentary. Miss him. When he sang HURT by Nine Inch Nails..it absolutely crushed me. Pretty much the LAST song he sang. Love you John 💕 RIP🙏
Applause to RUclips for this documentary!! Very entertaining and very informative. I'm 65 yrs old and it brought so many great memories not only of Cash threw the years but of myself and my life and family during those times. Thanks RUclips!!!
One awesome documentary, I cried and I think became closer to the Lord!! Johnny Cash, what an amazing man❤️🙏❣️❣️
Hear that

Then its worth watching. I was sceptical before but reading your comment I will watch.
@@lorrainebettencourt7972 Yeah so true it got right in you know, just hope you are okay today..
Beautifully done. Loosing Jack was the beginning of his sorrow. In all his pain and darkness he never lost his faith in Jesus. Simple Gratitude will give us peace and yet we forget. Thank you for this video, made me cry but most importantly it will make me love every one with all their flaws. ♥️♥️♥️
Legendary pure talent Johnny cash. He was a real as it gets. The man in black who had the biggest heart. He's missed dearly. Rest in peace Johnny and June
Johnny Cash saved my life. In fact his music has changed many lives. What he wanted to do he did, and his music continues to do today. I’m not sure he really knew how many lives he’s touched, but I pray that he does now. RIP to the greatest. Thank you for being you 🖤🖤🖤
Chandler same here
Chandler please tell me how he changed your life. I’ll listen!

Best documentary I think I've ever seen. Period.
Johnny should of run for president
Yes!!! 🙏
Definitely agree. Perfection in every way. The elder statesman of Country music. I just love his music and his faith in God; its genuine. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you Cash for what you have given us and left behind!
I’m a 28 year old Asian American and johnny cash was my introduction to country/blues at the age of 25. I respected him as an artist and loved his music but after this documentary I respect him as a man and love his music so much more. Thank you
The best love story in my history..I am 57 and I have just found my Soul Mate a love like Johnny and June no other will do
This was a beautiful tribute to the legend himself. I feel sorry for a lot of people my age who have never heard the sound of Johnny Cash
Really? I have come across very few young people who are not familiar with the name ...Johnny Cash.
@@sequencerman5 with the name yes but not much about his personality and what he stood for, at least from my experience. I am originally from Europe, early millennial and lots of young people I meet in USA know who he is for sure and some of his songs but not much about his political and social activities
Right. I feel sorry for the people of my age and younger who never experience the old music, movies, literature in general. It's sad that all this art is slowly forgotten.
One of the best
@@sequencerman5 da
I didn't grow up listening to Cash's songs but after watching "Walk The Line" and now watching this, I'm actually grateful he took the advice of his brother, Jack, and his mother to create music. Granted, he took many different paths, with the choices he made, but he always ended up playing instruments and creating meaningful songs. His voice was beautiful. This was a wonderful documentary, many thanks for it.
U sound like me lol
Great talent n actor great voice

My Mom said everytime The Johnny Cash Show would come on in 69 that I would stand up on the sofa and dance and sing along with him! I was two! Johnny Cash has always been one of my favorite artists!
