Odetta on "The Johnny Cash Show," August 30, 1969. The first song she performs is based on a Negro "field blues" song known simply as "Black Woman," then duets with Cash on "Shame And Scandal In The Family," which was written by a calypso artist who went by Sir Lancelot, in the 40s.

From Nov. 18, 1970, this is one of Maybelle and Sarah Carter's last public performances together. Included are "You Are My Flower" and "I'll Be Satisfied" with the host. Although originally broadcast in color, the copy of the show I have is in black and white, and for this clip it really works.

Johnny Cash: Flesh and Blood (work-in-progress)
Posted by: abargle

Video duration: 130 seconds

This performance, from the February 11, 1970 broadcast of his TV show is one of a number of times Cash performed this song during his show's 3-season run. Refining his composition on the fly, on network TV in prime-time, Cash demonstrated the artistic process at work with the unflinching courage and integrity for which he is so well-known. As always, Cash dedicates this song to his six daughters.
