See Johnny and June’s Beautiful Rendition of ‘You Are My Sunshine’
Of the best country songs that stay with us until old age passes over our hearts, there are none like “You Are My Sunshine.”
While hundreds of versions have been recorded time and time again since the song became popular in the late 1930s, the one that always seems to find its place in a room is Johnny Cash’s incredible rendition. Here, in a duet with June Carter Cash, he once again follows that beautiful guitar strumming with his deep, raw voice.
This video showcases not only Johnny and June’s spark of love, but also how the song is relatable for everyone. When the camera pans to the audience and they begin to chime in, it almost makes your heart feel so big that it could burst. The simple melody is childlike in quality and easy to follow, with a sweet message to boot.
Somehow, it seems so fitting that Johnny and June lead the audience in singing, as their love as a couple has resonated through American pop culture since they finally admitted to the world they were in love. That pure adoration and respect the two have for one another shines bright, almost like the sun itself.
