Interesting facts and trivia about Jackson (with June Carter Cash). By Songfacts®.

Before this became a famous duet between Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, it was originally performed by Billy Edd Wheeler, who wrote and recorded it in 1963. German-American actress Gaby Rodgers is credited as Wheeler's co-writer, but her name was actually used as a pseudonym by Rodgers' then-husband Jerry Leiber. Leiber wrote many hits with his regular songwriting partner Mike Stoller, such as "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock," made famous by Elvis Presley.

Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood also had a Pop hit (#14) with this song in 1967. They performed it, along with "Some Velvet Morning," on Nancy's TV special Movin' with Nancy.

Johnny and June's version peaked at #2 on the Country charts and earned them a Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Performance Duet, Trio or Group (Vocal or Instrumental) in 1968.
