Johnny Cash, a renowned musical figure, was able to make the most out of his life and create numerous unforgettable moments. In this Loud List, we will provide you with a sneak peek into the extensive influence that this legendary artist had on popular culture throughout the years.
Cash was present during the emergence of rock 'n' roll, specifically during the famous gathering known as the "Million Dollar Quartet." This group consisted of Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we offer you a sneak peek of Cash playfully imitating "The King" in front of the cameras.
Despite the serious tone of Cash's songs, the musician possessed a decent sense of humor. We have a delightful moment where Johnny shares a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Apart from this, Cash went on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even had a cameo in The Simpsons.
However, above all else, "The Man in Black" was renowned for his music. His influence went beyond genre boundaries, and at one moment, he moved contemporary rocker Beck to tears by praising one of his performances. As a parting note, we present Cash's last interview, where he engages in a conversation about the afterlife with MTV News presenter Kurt Loder.
