"Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" is a popular Christian hymn written in 1907 by Ada R. Habershon with music by Charles H. Gabriel. The song is often recorded unattributed and, because of its age, has lapsed into the public domain. Most of the chorus appears in the later songs "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" and "Daddy Sang Bass".

The hymn is sung every year at the Country Music Hall of Fame at the conclusion of each medallion induction ceremony. It is performed by the inductees of that respective year as well as any previously inducted members of the Hall of Fame who are present.

Johnny Cash was every man. He sang about miners, truckers, trains and the working man. He sang about blacks and Indians. In 1964 he recorded ''Bitter Tears'' and complete song album about Native Americans. The album was banned in some places and many radio stations refused to play it. 

His recording of Ira Hayes is a classic. In 1973, on a wind swept plains in South Dakota in another war, I listened to Johnny album, ''Bitter Tears'' a life changing event that I felt Johnny would understand. 

Sorry Kirsh, not a spiritual in the sense of the word, but to Indians this album is spiritual.

Johnny Cash married June Carter, the daughter of 'Mother Maybelle Carter" of the famous (among old-timey and folk music fans) Carter Family.  They played acoustic instruments such as guitar, banjo, autoharp and dulcimer, and sang as a family.  One of their greatest hits was Wildwood Flower.
