Johnny Cash, a renowned music legend, left behind a collection of remarkable moments that have forever shaped his legacy. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a glimpse into the profound influence he had on popular culture throughout his life.
Johnny Cash was present at the inception of rock 'n' roll, and his involvement in the "Million Dollar Quartet" is widely recognized. This quartet consisted of Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we provide a glimpse of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
While Cash's songs mostly had a serious tone, he did possess a good sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny having a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later, he would go on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a cameo on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was famous for his music. He had a profound influence that transcended genres, and there was a particular moment when he praised musician Beck's performance, which moved him to tears. Lastly, we present Cash's last interview, in which he talks about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
