Ring Of Fire — Anita Carter (1963)

"Ring Of Fire" was co-written by June Carter (wife of Johnny Cash) and originally recorded by her sister Anita in 1963 as "(Love's) Ring of Fire".
When Anita’s single failed to become a hit, Johnny recorded his own version - complete with the mariachi-style horns. It became the biggest hit of his career, and his signature song, staying at #1 on the country charts for 7 weeks. It was ranked #4 on CMT's "100 Greatest Songs In Country Music".
