Coe, David Allan - Ballad Of A Teenage Queen Lyrics

Beautiful Voice, Very Nice song, Left us too soon.

Too soon? He lived a great life and a good age considering the amount of drugs and alcohol he took for like 10-15 years, it doesn't matter if he's gone his music lives on basically he lives forever

Background singers are great here

What a great music show the Beech-Nut Show was! Incredible variety in music. Wish a TV show like this were possible today. Of course modern music (Country, Rock & Pop) would have to get their act together with artists of genuine talent. And Dick Clark was also one-of-a-kind.

Love johnny cash thanks for all great music 2019 Nov god bless. R.i.p. God bless you Johnny

.. and it's just 26 years old. :o This ist voice. Waao.

The best and most recognizable voice ever !!

I believe I will meet Johnny when I die. Please God

I love this song

He's lip synching his own song

Ya what's up with that

@PoshJeck It was typical for American Bandstand. The 2 times they had John on, they made him lip Sync. He never went back on....

No one will be what he was . More than a legend.

even though it`s his song, back then it was mostly done with studio recordings. so unfortunately no live version.

rest in peace Johnny

Cute love song, back then it was possible, that story would never happen this day and age

I love his song n his daughters song, tennessee flat top box

His daughter’s song Tennessee Flat Top Box is actually a Johnny Cash song. Not Rosanne! Johnny!

Was this before he met June Carter?

Joe Dollinter Hey Joe, he met June Carter backstage in 1956. But he constantly started touring with her in 1962. So this performance was before her. Greetings CD

@Cornelia Denninger june, along with her sister and Mother Maybelle joined Cash in December of 1961

Makes me laugh when they call him a singer he talked

If you don't like it or him... Why are you listening to it? Music is music... Appreciate it all.... Imagine a world with no music

one and , only ,!

grew up with this great tune.:)

His songs are so haunting...In the way that you start listening and it envelops you and goes deeper than just your ears. You listen and feel the story. And you never want it to end.

Wish there was a sequel song, like how Buddy Holly had Peggy Sue and then Peggy Sue Got Married

John Cash so young and handsome and with an amazing voice before the drugs took him. /CD

Good Song Classic!

Awesome Cash classic!!! I would love you to check out my lo-fi cover of "Teenage Queen" THANKS GUYS!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfzGSnYh6RM

I was a deck boy aboard MV Whangaroa - a refrigerated cargo ship that transported New Zealand lamb and dairy products around the world - when I first heard Johnny Cash. The six deck boys had each kicked in about $10 to purchase a record player and one of the first records we bought was Johnny Cash singing 'Ballad of a Teenage Queen'. I was hooked.

Boy - did he change his image!

This song, Cry Cry Cry, and I Still Miss Someone are my favorite songs from Johnny Cash and his band. His other early songs are the best, too.

Beautiful

The backing vocals make this...

Agreed. Brilliant use of background vocals.

The backing vocals are done by the Gene Lowery singers. They were on a number of Johnny's recordings during the sun record years.

I love Johnny

America The Beautiful!!!!!

this was one of the first records I ever heard when I was little still love it

I saw him in person sing this song in 1958

marguerite savoie but.. it didnt even exist in 58

uh.... Yeah, it did exist in 1958. Must have existed in 1957, actually, as it was released 2 Jan 1958, according to this.

marguerite savoie - we were a lot younger in those days. Remember this one well !

Dick Clark was 28 in this clip

Timeless .... and still a marvellous song!

Hes a good looking guy, just like my great grandfather whom he looks eerily similar to in this performance.

I love Johnny cash and i really wish he was still alive

Dont we all?

Nice one.

ty sir

The king in black

Johnny Cash haha !

money ain't everything ;)pretty much the moral of the story

I like to think the moral of the story is love.

it was a joke

prpunk187 the moral of the story is you can't trust these hoes.

Love is everything worth living for jonny knew than a lot of do thouse with out it are lonely fools whome I feel sorry for

fuck you

Hey all, anyone know if this is actually about someone ???

Listen to JC singing I hurt myself today song by 9 inch nails

one of his best

It’s just called Hurt.

Those were not the Statler Bros They didn't join him until the 1960s. Johnny was 26 years old in 1958. WOW.

Are those the Statler brothers singing background?  This was before they started their quartet, but the high voice sounds like Lew DeWitt, One of the Statler brothers, but I understand the Jordanaires sang background for him, before the Statler brothers did

+Jeff Hill No it was not.

+Rick Street The background singers were the Gene Lowery Singers. They are the backing vocals on all of the sun sides. This song was written by the producer, "Cowboy" Jack Clement. The melody is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. The Statlers didn't come along until 1964, this is from 1958.

One Of My Favorite Songs From Johnny Cash

Heard this song a few months ago on the Paul Gambaccini on BBC radio 2, didn't know is was a johnny Cash song, a brilliant song.

Yesterday I heard this song the first time in my life -with this video-, and I can't stop singing :)

I sold the same guitar a J200 to 'Stompin Tom Connors' back here in Canada in the late sixties. A beautiful piece of work. I was working as a salesman for Drouin's  Music Store in Timmins, Ontario at the time. Johnny had it on an Album cover with his song  Mr. Lumberjack.

That album was called "Ride This Train", because it had "Lumberjack" on it, but he didn't have a guitar on the cover. It was a pic of him holding a gun, with a train in the background.

+CashPresley32  Hi! I know what your saying I have the album, in any case it was a J200. The pic I'm speaking about is Johnny is sitting on a pile of wood in his suit with his bow tie holding a J200 with his name imbedded in the fret board. I think I may have that album also.  I've also got 'Everbody loves a nut' album and 'Songs of our soil'

@Paul Henry Dallaire Oh I saw that pic. He had the same guitar on the cover of the album "The Fabulous Johnny Cash." Thanks for the info Kenny from Grants Pass, Oregon.

Sun Records Memphis Tenn

Awesome songs

Johnny before June. Pretty smooth. Takes me back to high school days. RIP Johnny.

Not many people realize that this was the biggest-selling single that Johnny ever had.

Johnny's biggest selling single was "I walk The Line" This was his third biggest seller.

jonny chingas correct , johnny even says in a interview with Larry king that I Walk The Line was his biggest seller he ever had and he hated the way it sounded when it came on the radio and called Sam Phillips and told him to take it off the radio lol Sam said. Well you're gonna have to call Alot of radio stations cuz they're playing it everywhere lol so I think you're confused ,it was not this song he hated at first but rather walk the line

Jesse Harmon oh yeah? How do you know that

He was so young.  Love his voice!

When I saw Dick Clark, I first though this was American Bandstand

Dick Clark was 28 & a half here.

Lynnette Young, The Teenage Queen , wherever you are, i never stopped loving you.

I love this song!
