Johnny Cash: The Gettysburg Address

I don’t own the rights to this. Johnny Cash; The Gettysburg Address. Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address“ is recognized internationally as a great piece of English literature. How appropriate that one of music’s most-recognized international artists should lend his interpretation to it. Cash recorded the Address for his America album, released in 1972 and re-released for his 70th birthday. In 1959, Cash appeared on the “Ed Sullivan Show“ with Frankie Laine, who recited the Gettysburg Address--one wonders if this is where he got the idea to record it a decade later.
