Johnny Cash at the Statue of Liberty centennial: Ragged Old Flag and Battle Hymn of the Republic

For the second time today we turn to the Statue of Liberty centennial on July 4, 1986.

Johnny Cash was a unique artist in many ways, his dedication to spoken word performances--which was a dying art even during his career--was one of those distinctions.

Watch and listen as he performs "Ragged Old Flag." If you want music, you will find it here too, Cash then sings "Battle Hymn of the Republic," backed by a choir and an orchestra.
