There are 12 remarkable moments in the career of Johnny Cash, a legendary musician who had a significant influence on popular culture. In this article, we will highlight some of these unforgettable moments that exemplify the lasting impact he had throughout his life.
Cash was present at the beginning of rock 'n' roll, and his participation in what is now known as the "Million Dollar Quartet" is well-known. The quartet also consisted of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and the iconic Elvis Presley. To start off this list, we have a glimpse of Cash entertaining the cameras by imitating "The King" himself.
Even though Cash's songs usually had a serious tone, the musician had a great sense of humor. We have a clip of Johnny enjoying a laugh with comedian Steve Martin while attempting a card trick that doesn't go as planned. Later, Cash would go on to make appearances on Saturday Night Live and even have a guest role on The Simpsons.
However, above all else, Johnny Cash was famous for his music and his ability to transcend genres. He made such an impression on modern day rocker Beck that Beck was moved to tears when Cash praised one of his performances. As a final note, we present Cash's last interview where he talks about the afterlife with MTV News host Kurt Loder.
