      I heard that Johnny Cash wrote that song while he was still married, so he gave the credit to June so his ex-wife wouldn't get any profit from it. I understand that perfectly. And Johnny was taking drugs before he even met June Carter, so calm down, misinformed people in the comments section. June was great for Johnny. They had a deep and real love. No one can ever take that away from them.

I used to like it, but my freshman year of high school I bought a Billy idol cd, and that all changed! I dug into every decade and found the music I really loved (:

    A few days before my grandma died, she explained the meaning of this song while it was playing. She was a huge Johnny Cash fan. I was touched by the meaning, especially when she was just diagnosed with cancer and in hospice. She wasn’t one to be sentimental either. The next morning she had a horrible stroke that made her unable to communicate and she rapidly declined from there. When she was getting close to passing, but not able to let go, I kept humming this song to her. I didn’t know the melody 100% but I improvised. It was the meaning and intent that mattered. My aunt got into too if I remember right. This was a pivotal moment when we expressed acceptance of her passing and that we’ll be okay. She finally died about an hour later. We were relieved for her, and celebrated by playing her absolute favorite songs One Bourbon One Scotch and Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood. Yesterday, 5/2/19, was 7 years since her passing 🌤💐 HEY Oddone! Stop looking at me! You looked at me first!! 😜 You know I *might* actually miss you if you weren’t intruding in my dreams so much! Don’t you have better things to do?😂 Love you so much Grandma!!! 💕💕💕

I was blown away with Johnny's acting performance, so I dug deeper into his music. For the first time in 50 years I can say that I am now interested in country music and it all started with Johnny Cash. What an awesome talent he was.

    For those that do not know that is the the Carter Sisters (musical group) on the left with June Carter in green (Johnny Cash's wife), on the right in suits is the Statler Brothers I believe.

    If you love this song, and don't know the meaning of it, you may enjoy hearing it. Basically Johnny had problems with his parents, and when he was a child his brother died in an accident, which his parents blamed him for. He always listened to the radio with his brother, who wanted to be a country singer, and they enjoyed listening to young June Carter on the grand ol opry. Johnny became a country singer instead of his brother, and met and fell in love with (or was already in love with ) June Carter. They had a rocky start and divorces from other marriages before eventually marrying each other. Johnny kicked drugs with the help of June and her mother Maybelle, one of the original members of the Carter family, essentially Country music's most famous early recording act.
    June's mother Maybelle is standing right next to her on stage. Her two sisters are standing next to her. The Statler brothers are the backup singers.
    Carl Perkins was a long time family friend of both June, and Johnny. They had all been on tour as friends as far back as the 50's, and in 1965 Carl started touring with them, featured as a singer and performer but also playing with the band at times (Carl was a fantastic guitarist). Newly Sober Johnny helped Carl quit drinking. In 1967 while on tour, Carl Perkins wrote this song about the family atmosphere of the tour, and essentially making Johnny part of MAYBELLE's family, instead of his own. So Johnny's singing in the song, with his mother and father (Maybelle and her husband), with his older brother. "Little Brother has done gone on, but I'll rejoin him in a song, we'll be together again up yonder in a little while" touches on his brother's death as a child, now perpetually his little brother instead of his older brother. This was Carl's way of thanking the legendary Carter family for helping save his friend John's life, as well as his own, and essentially acknowledging that John was now part of the Carter family. Johnny explained this in his autobiography, it has nothing to do with Carl, he wrote it specifically for Johnny.
    The end with "Will the Circle be Unbroken" is lifted from the Carter Family's most famous song, a gospel song they added lyrics to in the 1930's I believe. So Maybelle Carter, who played the guitar on the original record, is standing on stage with her family all around her as Johnny basically dreams he was her son.... This is more than anything, a wonderful sign of respect he's showing his mother in law.
    Written by the great Carl Perkins, and that's the gist of what he was getting at.

    Another #1 hit on the Country & Western charts for The Man in Black. It was the 155th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks charts. It was also the first #1 C&W hit of 1969. And the world of Country Music was fixing to shoot into the stratosphere.

    "I remember when I was a lad
    Times were hard and things were bad
    But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud
    Just poor people, that's all we were
    Tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt
    We'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
    Daddy sang bass
    Mama sang tenor
    Me and little brother would join right in there
    Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
    One of these days it won't be long
    I'll rejoin them in a song
    I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne
    Oh no, the circle won't be broken
    By and by, Lord, by and by
    Daddy sang bass
    Mama sang tenor
    Me and little brother would join right in there
    In the sky, Lord, in the sky
    I remember after work
    Mama would call in all of us
    You could hear us singin' for a country mile
    Now little brother has done gone on
    But, I'll rejoin him in a song
    We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
    Daddy sang bass
    Mama sang tenor
    Me and little brother would join right in there
    Cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
    One of these days it won't be long
    I'll rejoin them in a song
    I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne
    Oh, no the circle won't be broken
    By and by, Lord, by and by
    Daddy sang bass
    Mama sang tenor
    Me and little brother would join right in there
    In the sky, Lord, in the sky
    Yes in the sky, Lord, in the sky"

      The original was written by the Carter Family (Maybelle in the back left beside June and her sister, and brother in law) in the 1930's, it's considered one of the earliest country songs, and of course a gospel song. So churches have sang that song well before the johnny Cash version, he's singing a gospel song inside this song. Peace out!
