Linda Ronstadt and Johnny Cash Singing "I Never Will Marry"

Linda Ronstadt famously sang the beautiful traditional song "I Never Will Marry" in 1977 on her classic "Simple Dreams" album. However, she also sang this lovely song on "The Johnny Cash Show" in 1969. Linda and Johnny harmonize beautifully.

Johnny Cash was of course married to June Carter Cash. Here is her version of the song:



June Carter Cash is probably so emotional singing this song because she was a member of the legendary Carter Family (the first family of country). Her family had a long history of singing this song.

Here is the classic Carter family version of this classic song:
