From his second appearance on the Johnny Cash Show this is Ray Charles giving Johnny's No. 1 hit "Ring of Fire" a soul treatment. It was released on his then current country album "Love Country Style". Taped on Ray's 40th birthday this was aired on Sep. 23rd, 1970. THIS AND OTHER GREAT PERFORMANCES ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON A 2-DVD-SET "BEST OF THE JOHNNY CASH TV SHOW". HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE!!!

Nov 19, 2008 - I agree..I'm 26 and the more I research music and search through old albums and these youtube clips I am really starting to feel like my generation got the short end of the music stick.

Nov 19, 2008 - Get Ray Charles' the Complete Country and Western Recordings: 1959-1986 four disc set. One of the best CD compilations I own, his version of Ring of Fire plus many other great tracks are included there, in brilliant, remastered sound. Truly, a great investment for any music collector/aficionado.
