****** In 1962, Anita recorded a song co-written by her sister June called "Ring of Fire". After hearing the record, her future brother-in-law Johnny Cash reportedly dreamed of hearing Mexican horns on the record and told Anita that if her song did not hit in five or six months he would record it "the way I feel about it." After the song failed to make the charts, Cash recorded it in March 1963 with the horns and the Carter Sisters (along with mother). The revised song went on to gain wide international popularity and became one of the biggest hits of his career. |
