Johnny Cash and June Carter In 1956 June Carter met Johnny when they were both performing as part of the Opry Company, and by the mid 60s were on stage regularly as a duo. For much of his life Cash battled with his addiction with drugs and alcohol and often credits June for helping him through the hard times, many say that this is what led them to have such a close bond and become one of the greatest love stories ever known. Cash and Carter were married in a church in Franklin Kentucky in 1968, just a week after Johnny proposed to June on stage in London Ontario. From that moment on the pair were musically entwined for 35 years winning 2 Grammy awards for their performances of "Jackson" and "If I were a Carpenter" in 1968. Johnny and June showcased unforgettable performances together at venues including Folsom and San Quentin prisons and sold millions of records in their careers. Using their love as food for their song writing they created the most lasting and memorable and love songs including "Flesh and Blood" and "Ring of Fire" about their love and attraction for each other. Johnny and June brought 6 children to their marriage and went on to have just one child together, John Carter Cash, their only son. June died on May 15th 2003 with Johnny holding her hand. Johnny continued to work after June's death in order to feel close to her again. He recorded his adaptation of the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt just 3 weeks after her death and his passion and feeling of his performance won him the MTV song of the year award. Johnny died just 4 months after June on September 12th 2003. |
