Singer June Carter Cash, the wife and Grammy-winning duet partner of Johnny Cash, was hospitalized in critical condition Saturday as a result of complications from heart surgery, according to their longtime manager.

Cash, 73, had the surgery on Wednesday at Baptist Hospital to replace a valve, said Lou Robin.

He said Johnny Cash is asking everyone able to pray for his wife's recovery to do so at 10 a.m. CDT Sunday.

"June did this for him one time when he was critically ill," Robin said. "The recovery the next morning was something the doctors couldn't describe or imagine."

June Carter Cash is a singer, songwriter, musician, actress and author.

She and her husband have performed together on record and on stage, doing songs like "Jackson" and "If I Were a Carpenter," which both won Grammy awards for them in 1967 and 1970, respectively.

She also co-wrote Cash's 1963 hit "Ring of Fire," which was about falling in love with him.

These people are indeed musical legends and definitely will be in my thoughts. Thanks for the heads up Art. Country music would not be the same if it weren't for performers like these.

that sucks. the Man in Black is doing terribly, this will just push him further to the grave. i hate it for both, but especially him.

art. i use to pray a lot. then i quit completely, this i did again.... and quit again. i finally figured something out: If God exists in the way that he hears our every prayer, then he hears everything else... so now i simply mean it when i say i'm sorry or i'll mutter a few outspoken words that reflect on what i would pray about... and realize if god exists, great. he heard. if he didn't hear, i didn't waste any oxygen.

Don't know about prayer, but I sure hope she gets better.
