May 15th: On this day 2003

Country singer June Carter Cash, the second wife of Johnny Cash, died in Nashville, Tennessee, of complications following heart valve replacement surgery, aged 73.

As a member of the Carter Family, she had hits with Johnny Cash, including Grammy Award winning song, “Jackson”, “Ring Of Fire”, (which she co-wrote about their courtship), and “If I Were A Carpenter.”
As a singer, she had both a solo career and a career singing with first her family and later her husband. As a solo artist, she became somewhat successful with upbeat country tunes of the 1950s such as “Jukebox Blues” and, with her exaggerated breaths, the comedic hit “No Swallerin’ Place” by Frank Loesser. June also recorded “The Heel” in the 1960s along with many other songs.
In the early 1960s, June Carter wrote the song “Ring of Fire”, which later went on to be a hit for her future husband, Johnny Cash. She co-wrote the song with fellow songwriter Merle Kilgore. June wrote the lyrics about her relationship with Johnny Cash and she offered the song to her sister Anita Carter, who was the first singer to record the song. In 1963, Johnny recorded the song with the Carter Family singing backup, and added mariachi horns. The song became a number-one hit and went on to become one of the most recognizable songs in the world of country music. In her autobiography, “I Walked the Line”, Johnny’s first wife Vivian Cash disputes the myth that June Carter co-wrote the song, “Ring of Fire”. Vivian relates the story that Johnny told her in 1963 that he wrote the song with Merle Kilgore and Curly while fishing and that he was going to give June half credit because “She needs the money. And I like her.”

At Carter’s funeral, her stepdaughter Rosanne Cash stated, “If being a wife were a corporation, June would have been a CEO. It was her most treasured role.”[19] Johnny Cash died of complications from diabetes on September 12. Carter’s daughter Rosie Nix Adams died on October 24. All three are buried at the Hendersonville Memory Gardens near their home in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
