It was first released on Sun International’s ''Sunday Down South'' in 1970, an album of mostly gospel songs shared with Sun outtakes by Johnny Cash. The re-cut is given a mid-temp ''High Heel Sneakers'' beat, and backed by instruments that include horns and steel guitar, an interesting experiment that didn’t quite work. Recorded during the sessions for ''Southern Roots'', this was finally released in 1987 on Bear Family’s ''The Killer: 1973-1977'' box-set. "Silver Threads Among The Gold", first copyrighted in 1873, was an extremely popular song in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today it is a standard of barbershop quartet singing. The lyrics are by Eben E. Rexford, and the music by Hart Pease Danks. In 1930, an Associated Press story published in the New York Times gave some background on the writing of these lyrics. We quote the article: "Silver Threads Song Traced to Poet’s ''Re-Hash'' on Order'' Shiockton, Wisconsin. The love ballad, ''Silver Threads Among The Gold'', which has stirred the hearts of more than one generation, was not the inspiration of an aging poet but a ''re-hash'' produced on order. The story developed after the unveiling of a monument here in honor of the author of the words, Eben E. Rexford, who died in 1916. Rexford made a living by writing verse and flower and garden articles for magazines. When he was 18, he wrote and sold for $3 some verses entitled ''Growing Old''. Later, H. P. Danks, composer of the music for ''Silver Threads'', wrote to him requesting words for a song. Rexford dug into his scrapbook and revised ''Growing Old''. When Rexford spoke about the song, he explained that he worked his way through college by writing, and it was when he was in college that Danks sent him a request for lyrics, offering to pay three dollars for each song. Rexford submitted nine songs and received $18.00, but no accounting of which six had been accepted or which three had been rejected. In telling the story of the song, Rexford said that he didn't know whether he had been paid $3.00 for it or nothing, since he didn't know if it had been among the six accepted or the three rejected. Rexford first heard the song when a company of Oneida Indians gave a concert in Shiocton, Wisconsin and sang it there. The sheer popularity of the song can be illustrated, among other ways, by news stories which continued to reference it for many years. For example, in 1932, it won a poll of WABC (AM) (New York) listeners asked to name their favorite songs, despite it already being 60 years old. The song was the most frequently recorded song of the acoustic recording era, starting with its first known recording by Richard Jose in 1903. Later 20th century recordings of the song include those of John McCormack, Bing Crosby (1948), Jerry Lee Lewis (1956 and 1973), Georg Ots (in Estonian language and Finnish language, 1958), Tapio Rautavaara (in Finnish, 1967) and Jo Stafford with Paul Weston's Orchestra and the Gaslight Singers (1969).
