Hank Williams-Anita Carter duet, and documentary excerpts

they sing the duet "I Can't Help it (if I'm still in love with you)....then 8 minutes of clips from a documentary with Williams home movies, church singing, old cars, Hadacol and various interviews.gatorrock785 reports this duet is a clip from 1952 "On NBC's Kate Smith Evening Hour broadcast from New York."Go to his post for an excellent fuller (tho poorer quality) version of this clip with Hank also singing "Cold Cold Heart" http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rgj... thanks to UMG for licensing their music to the producers of this documentary.You can purchase this documentary -- "Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues" (2004) -- from Amazon for about $12, or directly from PBS (it was shown on their "American Masters" series): http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americ... here to see fine intro and info on this documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... here to see the end of this documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... after the duet here are excerpts from a docu on Hank Williams. Rick Braggs (standing next to gas pump) speaks of Hank's personality...Claude King talks of him, RD Norred and Half-sister Leila Griffin speaks of his church singing.Some home movies followed by Don Helms showing the 1948 Packard they travelled in and is joined by songwriter and friend Danny Dill to talk of old times.Then biographer Colin Escott and historian Kira Florita speaks of the Hadacol Caravan tour, and then interview clips with Don Helms, Hank Williams, Jr., and Braxton Schuffert.Ends with Big Bill Lister (Hank's opening act) speaking of Hank's generosity.I'm surprised to see none of the many songs written about Hadacol, by cajun artists, rock 'n rollers, blues shouters, and country singers is posted at YouTube. But I'm sure this will change...One of my favorite is the Treniers' "Hadacol (That's All)".go here to view the fine Wiki entry on Hadacol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H...
